Apara Autism Center

Interior commercial renovation work is underway at 1111 North Loop West #200 in Houston. The project, filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) as the Apara Autism Center, involves the alteration of 7,346 sq ft of tenant lease space within an existing commercial building. The total estimated cost for this renovation is $324,000.

The owner of record is Park Central Plaza, LLC. This entity also holds two other TDLR-registered projects in Houston, one valued at $597,000 and another at $1,600,000. The design firm of record is CDI Douglass-Pye, which has six other registered projects in the state, including a significant $18,000,000 filing in Taylor. Robert W Green serves as the registered accessibility specialist for this specific build.

Project Scope and Financials

The work is privately funded on private land. The estimated cost of $324,000 is above the Harris County median of $250,000 for similar renovation and alteration filings. However, the cost per square foot of $44 is below the county median of $80. The scheduled build window of 138 days is longer than the county median of 92 days, reflecting the specific scope of the interior alterations.

The site is located within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (zone AE). The project was registered with TDLR in September 2026. Plan review is pending, and completion is targeted for February 2027. The registration status is Project Registered.
