$29M Doral Academy K-8 charter school registered in New Braunfels

Highway 46 School Development LLC has registered a $29 million, 65,000 square foot K-8 charter school for Doral Academy in New Braunfels with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

The filing, TABS2027004789, covers “Doral Academy New Braunfels Bldg 1” at 1145 South State Highway 46 in Guadalupe County. It describes new tilt-wall Type II B construction with associated site work, designed by Houston-based Element Architects, with an estimated construction window running June 7, 2027 to July 28, 2028.

Why it matters

The registered owner entity lists a Miami, Florida address, and the filing describes the job as privately funded on private land. A $29 million K-8 campus is a sizable single-site institutional job in Guadalupe County, on the eastern side of New Braunfels. For subcontractors, a project of this size means work from the tilt-wall shell through site utilities and parking, with the registration giving more than seven months of lead time before the scheduled start.

The filing lists the building at 65,000 square feet, matching its stated scope, so the $29 million works out to roughly $446 per square foot including site work. A registered accessibility specialist based in League City is assigned to review the plans.

The numbers

• $29,000,000: estimated construction cost listed on the TABS registration.
• 65,000: square feet of new K-8 school building.
• June 7, 2027 to July 28, 2028: the registered construction window.

What’s next

The project carries a “Project Registered” status with TDLR; a City of New Braunfels or Guadalupe County building permit is the next public record to watch once construction mobilizes ahead of the 2027 start date. More on the market: San Antonio.
