Costco Wholesale #1330 Fuel Facility is the registered name for a renovation project at 1302 Jasmine Ave in Webster. The filing, titled Costco #1330 Webster - Fuel Facility Generator Addition, details the installation of a new generator on a dedicated concrete pad. This upgrade includes bollards, a chain link fence enclosure, and associated electrical work. The scope explicitly excludes any structural building modifications, focusing entirely on utility infrastructure and site safety.

Project Scope and Scale

The total estimated cost for this work is $175,000. The project covers 8,127 sq ft of site area, resulting in a computed cost of $22 per square foot. These figures place the project below the Harris County median for similar renovation filings, which stands at $250,000 for cost and $80 per square foot. The scheduled build window is 25 days, shorter than the county median of 92 days for comparable projects. This efficiency reflects the focused nature of the work, which involves pavement and landscape repair alongside the electrical trenching required for the new generator.

MG2 Architecture Corporation serves as the design firm of record for this project. Justin K Walton is the registered accessibility specialist associated with the filing. The project was registered with TDLR in September 2026. The filing indicates a construction start date of April 2026 and a target completion date of May 2026. However, no plan review or inspection has been recorded since registration. Therefore, the public record does not confirm whether the work has proceeded or been completed. The status remains Project Registered, with no additional milestones documented in the available data.

Costco Wholesale Corporation has six other TDLR-registered projects in the state, totaling $4,052,321. These include fuel facility upgrades in Houston and Pharr, as well as a carwash in Katy. The company’s portfolio demonstrates a consistent pattern of investing in fuel infrastructure across multiple Texas locations. The Webster project fits within this broader strategy of maintaining and upgrading fuel stations to meet operational and safety standards. The involvement of a specialized design firm and a registered accessibility specialist underscores the regulatory compliance requirements for such commercial infrastructure updates.

The site is situated in Harris County, a region with a significant construction sector. The local labor market in Harris County recorded an unemployment rate of 5.2 percent in July 2026, higher than a year earlier. This context provides a baseline for the economic environment in which the project is registered. The project is privately funded and located on private land for private use. There is no indication of public funding or municipal involvement in the filing details. The primary objective is the functional upgrade of the fuel facility’s power backup and site security features.
