Dell USA LP has registered a $12.0M renovation of an existing building at its Round Rock campus, a mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems upgrade plus new server racks, according to a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing dated Nov. 6, 2026.
Why it matters
The project is named “DELL PS2 L11 Lab 3.0” and sits at 701 E. Parmer Lane, Building 2, in Round Rock, Williamson County, not in Austin proper. Its stated scope is an MEP upgrade and expansion “along with the addition of server racks and associated equipment” inside an existing building. That is lab and compute fit-out work, which pulls electrical, mechanical and low-voltage trades rather than ground-up construction crews.

The filing says the project is privately funded, on private land, for private use. Dell’s headquarters address, 1 Dell Way in Round Rock, is the owner address on the record.
The numbers
- Estimated cost: $12.0M, as registered by the owner (an estimate, not a bid or contract value).
- Size: 6,145 sq ft, type of work “Renovation/Alteration.”
- Schedule: estimated start Dec. 14, 2026; estimated completion Dec. 31, 2027.
- Design firm: Cushing Terrell is listed. No general contractor appears on the registration.
- Implied cost: about $1,950 per sq ft, which reflects the equipment-heavy scope, not shell construction.
The record is a Texas Accessibility Standards (TABS) project registration. It confirms owner, cost estimate and dates, but it is not a building permit and carries no inspection status.
What’s next
With a mid-December start, contractor selection and long-lead electrical and cooling equipment orders would be the near-term activity. The city of Round Rock permit, which would show a declared valuation and the contractor, was not yet visible on the state registration. Watch for it, and for any further Dell registrations at the same address. More on the region is on the Austin market hub; a larger recent Williamson filing is covered in Sam’s Club Round Rock leads $77.7M in new Williamson filings.
