Costco #1208 Cypress - Fuel Facility Generator Addition

Costco Wholesale #1208 Fuel Facility in Cypress, Texas, is a renovation project centered on the addition of a new generator at 26940 Northwest Fwy. The filing, registered with TDLR in September 2026, describes the work as a generator installation on a new concrete pad, accompanied by bollards and a chain-link fence enclosure at the existing fuel facility. No building work is included in the scope of this alteration.

Project Scope and Cost

The estimated cost for this project is $165,000, covering the new generator, electrical work, and an electrical trench with pavement and landscape repair. The project is associated with 8,127 sq ft of space, resulting in a computed cost of $20 per square foot. This figure is below the Harris County median of $80 per square foot for similar renovation and alteration filings, which typically range from $125,478 to $600,000 in estimated cost.

MG2 Architecture Corporation is the design firm of record for this project. The registered accessibility specialist is Justin K Walton. The project was privately funded on private land for private use. The scheduled build window was 25 days, which is shorter than the Harris County median of 92 days for comparable work.

Costco Wholesale Corporation has six other TDLR-registered fuel facility projects across Texas, including locations in Richmond, Lubbock, The Woodlands, Tomball, and Georgetown. Most of these projects share the same $165,000 estimated cost. The project was registered with a target completion date of April 2026. However, no plan review or inspection has been recorded since the registration, so whether the project proceeded is not confirmed in the public record.

The ZIP code 77429 has a population of about 95,938 and a median household income of $117,931 according to U.S. Census estimates. The area has 33,137 housing units, with a median owner-occupied home value of $342,300. The project is part of a broader pattern of fuel facility upgrades by Costco in the region, though this specific filing focuses solely on the generator addition and associated infrastructure improvements at the Cypress location.
