Brazos Pointe Fellowship Expansion

Brazos Pointe Fellowship is constructing a new 7,162 sq ft free-standing building at 679 Highway 332 W in Lake Jackson. The project, filed as Brazos Pointe Fellowship Expansion, is registered with TDLR and targeted for November 2027. This new construction replaces the need for temporary spaces by adding dedicated offices, restrooms, a break room, a lobby, and a multi-purpose space for the congregation.

Project Scope and Design

The structure is designed by iAD Architects, a firm with other projects in the region including the Lake Jackson Recreation Center and Brazosport College facilities. The building is privately funded on private land for private use. The scope is strictly functional, focusing on the specific rooms listed in the filing without additional amenities. The estimated cost of $3,000,000 reflects the comprehensive nature of the new build, which includes all necessary interior and exterior components for a fully operational facility.

Construction is scheduled to begin in November 2026, following the September 2026 registration with TDLR. The planned build window spans 365 days, which is longer than the 220-day median for similar new construction projects in Brazoria County. This extended timeline allows for thorough plan review and construction of a complex, multi-room structure. The registered accessibility specialist for the project is Robert W Green, ensuring the design meets state standards.

Local Context and Cost

The estimated cost of $3,000,000 places this project in the top quarter of new construction filings in Brazoria County, where the median cost is $800,000. The cost per square foot is $419, significantly above the county median of $118. This variance is typical for specialized institutional buildings that require specific functional spaces and high-quality finishes. The project is located in ZIP code 77566, a community with a median household income of $91,406 according to U.S. Census estimates.

The site is located inside a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (zone AE). This designation is relevant for construction planning and insurance considerations but does not alter the scope of the building itself. The project remains in the registration and review phase, with no indication of construction start beyond the scheduled November 2026 date. Brazos Pointe Fellowship is the owner of record, and the project is privately funded. The focus remains on delivering the specified offices, break room, and multi-purpose space for the local community.
