$5.75M boat and RV storage project registered on Hopfe Road in Hockley

Hopfe Project LLC has registered a $5.75 million self-storage project on Hopfe Road in Hockley, an unincorporated community in northwest Harris County, according to a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation project registration filed Oct. 26, 2026.

Why it matters

The filing adds a boat and RV storage facility to the U.S. 290 corridor northwest of Houston. For contractors and suppliers working that corridor, it is a signal that private capital is still willing to fund large-footprint storage on raw land outside the city’s tighter submarkets, where land is cheaper and buildings can go up without a zoning review. Harris County has no zoning outside its municipalities, so the project moves through the county’s permitting process rather than a rezoning case.

The numbers

The TABS registration lists an estimated cost of $5,750,000 for eight pre-engineered metal buildings totaling 74,480 sq ft, built as new construction on private land at 19839 Hopfe Rd., Hockley, TX 77447. The scope is specified as boat and RV self-storage. The project’s registered start date is Dec. 14, 2026, with a listed completion date of July 12, 2027. The owner of record is Hopfe Project LLC, based at 2020 Haddon St. in Houston. Texas Comptroller franchise-tax records show Hopfe Project LLC as an active Texas limited liability company (SOS file number 0806509852), with Donald E. Skipton listed as registered agent at the same Haddon Street address; the Comptroller’s officer filing lists no additional names. No contractor is named on the TDLR record.

What’s next

The project is registered but not yet under construction; TDLR lists its status as “Project Registered,” with a scheduled start in mid-December. Under the filing’s accessibility requirements, the owner must request a Registered Accessibility Specialist inspection within 30 days of completion. No building permit activity beyond the TABS registration was available at filing. Watch Harris County permitting records for the building permit that typically follows a TABS registration, and the Houston development page for related filings in the U.S. 290 corridor; the Lilly lab admin building TDLR filing is another recent example of a project disclosed first through the state registration rather than a local permit.
