TJ Cholnoky Files $12M Warehouse Near Lake Houston Pkwy

TJ Cholnoky registered a $12 million industrial building on North Lake Houston Parkway with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation on Oct. 21.

The TABS filing, logged under the project name Northlake Development, covers a single-story tilt-wall building of 158,040 sq ft at 12190 N Lake Houston Pkwy in Harris County’s Lake Houston area. The record lists Cholnoky, who gave a Houston address on Yoakum Boulevard, as the owner rather than a company, with Houston-based LO Architecture as the design firm. No general contractor is named yet.

Why it matters

A TABS registration is often the first public record of a warehouse, filed before a city permit or a contractor award. This one has a design firm attached, a $12 million cost on file and a start date two months out. The record does not say whether the building is speculative or built for a named tenant, and it says the private funds are not tenant-provided. For contractors and brokers on Houston’s northeast side, it is an early look at new tilt-wall supply near Lake Houston Parkway.

The numbers

The filing puts the project at $12 million, covering 158,040 sq ft of single-story tilt-wall construction with associated site work, entirely privately funded on private land for private use. TDLR records the registration date as Oct. 21, 2026, with work scheduled to start Dec. 21, 2026, and finish Oct. 1, 2027. The project site carries a Houston, TX 77044 mailing address.

What’s next

A TDLR TABS registration is a state accessibility-compliance filing, not a City of Houston building permit, so the next verifiable step is a permit pull or a construction start near the scheduled Dec. 21 date. No contractor has been named in the record yet. The project adds to the industrial pipeline tracked across Houston’s northeast submarket; see more coverage at the Houston market hub.
