Gainesville, Texas, Records Document Retail, Medical-Office and Fueling Projects

Gainesville, Texas, in Cooke County, has several commercial projects documented in city permit records and Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filings. The records identify work at multiple U.S. 82 and Interstate 35 locations, but they do not by themselves confirm business opening dates, hiring levels or completed construction.

Retail tenant work at 900 E. Highway 82

The City of Gainesville’s June 2026 issued-permits report lists several commercial trade permits at 900 E. Highway 82, including three entries for Suite 1104. The city report identifies the address, permit category and issue dates; a separate TDLR filing identifies Suite 1104 at 1104 US-82 as a TJ Maxx tenant-improvement project.

The TJ Maxx filing describes a 28,080-square-foot renovation and alteration. It lists an estimated cost of $274,885, a March 21, 2026 start date and an estimated completion date of August 15, 2026. The filing’s current status is “Review Complete,” which refers to the registration review and does not establish that the tenant work is finished.

A separate TDLR filing identifies Five Below at 1010 US-82, also within the retail area represented by the city’s permit records. That filing describes a 12,809-square-foot tenant buildout with an estimated cost of $175,000. It lists a February 28, 2026 start date and an estimated completion date of October 23, 2026. The filing documents the registered project scope and schedule, not an opening date.

Five-building project on West Highway 82

At 1903 W. Highway 82, a TDLR filing registers a new-construction project for five retail and medical-office buildings. The filing lists a combined 33,720 square feet, an estimated cost of $2.5 million and an estimated completion date of March 1, 2027.

The filing says the medical-office tenant is not assigned. It describes privately funded construction on private land, but the registration does not establish that construction is complete or that all five buildings are currently under construction.

7-Eleven fueling center registered near I-35

Another TDLR filing registers a new one-story 7-Eleven fueling center at U.S. 82 and I-35 in Gainesville. The project is listed at 6,156 square feet with an estimated cost of $1.4 million. The filing lists a July 6, 2026 start date and an estimated completion date of May 4, 2027.

What the records show

The city permit report and TDLR filings document commercial development activity at several Gainesville highway and retail-corridor sites. A July 2, 2026 report by the Cooke County Record provided broader local context by aggregating Gainesville retail, airport and road permits. This report is narrower and focuses on the TJ Maxx, Five Below, five-building retail and medical-office, and 7-Eleven filings.

For residents, commuters and nearby businesses, the records provide locations, project scopes, estimated costs and projected schedules. They do not confirm that any project has opened, establish final completion, or document hiring, traffic effects, tax-revenue changes or broader economic impacts. The dates listed by TDLR are project estimates rather than guaranteed opening dates or final deadlines.
