Costco Wholesale Corp appears to be expanding its footprint in Dallas.
According to planning documents filed with the state, the retailer is adding a 48,150-square-foot metal building to its distribution center at 3730 Mountain Creek Parkway.
The Dallas Depot Cold Addition will include 16 dock doors for receiving and distribution and a total of 32 new dock door positions. Construction on the building is estimated to cost approximately $14.2 million and scheduled to begin in November, with delivery expected in May 2025, according to the filing.
Costco (Nasdaq: COST) also seems to be planning to renovate the trailer parking at the facility. Renovations are anticipated to start August 18 and scheduled to be completed in December, according to a separate planning document. Washington-headquartered firm MG2 Architecture Corp will serve as the design firm for the expansion and off-site renovations.
Information found in Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filings offer a look into construction plans but are often preliminary and subject to change. A spokesperson for Costco didn’t respond to a request for comment by deadline.
Washington-headquartered Costco currently operates 609 warehouses in the country and has a total of 882. The retail giant has 12 locations in Dallas-Fort Worth with four more in its pipeline.
Recently, The Forney City Council unanimously voted to execute and negotiate a Chapter 380 economic development agreement with the organization to open a new store located at U.S. Highway 80 and Clements Drive.
A Prosper location is also currently under construction and anticipated to open this fall. A store in Celina is scheduled to open later this year, and Costco plans to open a location in Weatherford in early 2025.
