Hawk Shah Enterprises has applied to the City of Dallas to build Leela Townhomes, a 16-unit project at 3917 Holmes St. in the 75215 ZIP code. The commercial new-construction permit, COM-NEW-26-000364, was filed Nov. 4, 2026 with an estimated cost of $6.0M. Its status is pending, so nothing is approved yet.
Why it matters
Small infill townhome projects are where Dallas builders and lenders can read neighborhood demand block by block. The filing implies a construction cost of $375,000 per unit and about $161 per sq ft across 37,222 sq ft. Those are the numbers a competing builder or a construction lender would benchmark against. The permit also pairs the building application with a plat and utility filings, which is the sequence a project follows before a groundbreaking.

The numbers
The application describes two two-story buildings with eight dwelling units each, attached garages, open rooftop terraces, fire sprinkler systems and site work covering parking, utilities, paving and drainage. The estimated total cost is $6.0M. The permit lists related City of Dallas records: plat S245-129, paving and drainage permit PAV-DRNG-26-000121 and water and wastewater engineering review WWWES-26-000099. The filing lists use as group residential, which is the permit category, not a statement about who will live there.
What’s next
The permit is pending review, and we have no approval date. The plat, paving and utility records are separate approvals that a builder typically needs before vertical work begins, so any of those moving would signal progress. A cost estimate on a permit application is the applicant’s figure and can change as plans are revised. We will update this report if the city issues the permit.
