What new businesses are coming to South Houston?

The most recently filed new-construction projects in South Houston are O. Donnell building ($350K), RACARIRU MACHINE SHOP ($350K), taquitos don agaves ($800K), straight line industrial ($350K). A new-construction filing is the earliest public signal that something new is being built, usually well before it opens, so this list leads street-level visibility rather than following it.

What new home communities are being built in South Houston, TX?

Among the 49 most recent construction filings in South Houston, 2 are for residential communities — amenity centers, subdivision sections, streetscapes, parks and apartment buildings — naming PROPOSED MULTI-FAMILY, Granada Terrace Apartments Renovation. Texas accessibility (TABS) registration covers the shared, public and multifamily buildings in a new community, not private single-family houses, so these filings show where new neighborhoods are being built out, often before homes there are listed for sale.

Individual houses are permitted by the city, not registered with the state. See South Houston home builders for the companies building there.
