A specialty orthopedic practice is putting down roots in League City, with plans for a 1,992-square-foot build-out inside Parkway Medical Plaza that's expected to cost $200,000. Houston Hand and Foot Orthopedics, which treats hand, foot, ankle and upper-extremity patients, is expanding into the Bay Area suburb with a new office at 1320 W. League City Parkway, Suite 201.
A notice filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation describes the planned tenant-space work and its projected cost. Community Impact first reported the project; the filing names Webster-based Diamond Development Group as the designer.
Per the same filing, construction on the League City office is slated to begin in December and wrap up in July. The report does not specify which years those dates fall in, so an exact timeline for when patients might start walking through the doors remains unclear.
A Fourth Stop for a Growing Regional Practice
The League City office would be Houston Hand and Foot Orthopedics’ fourth location. The practice’s website lists existing offices in Pasadena, Pearland and Friendswood.
Other health care growth in League City
A separate hospital expansion was reported in the city in 2020: Community Impact’s Bay Area health care snapshot said UTMB Health’s League City campus had opened a south tower with additional beds, operating rooms, endoscopy suites and testing and lab services. That hospital project differs from the planned private orthopedic-office build-out.
A City of League City request for proposals describes the city as adding approximately 3,000 residents a year. The figure provides growth context, but does not establish demand for orthopedic care or explain the practice’s location decision.
The practice's website describes Dr. Nilesh Chaudhari as a board-certified orthopedic surgeon who specializes in hand, upper-extremity, foot and ankle care, along with microsurgery. The site does not specify which services will be offered at the new League City location specifically, and the notice reviewed by the publication does not detail staffing or exam room plans for the build-out.
What the Permitting Record Shows
Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation records tied to the project include two separate filings: project TABS2023008821, registered Jan. 6, 2023, and project TABS2023021690, registered June 19, 2023. It isn't clear from the available records which of the two filings corresponds specifically to the League City build-out described in the notice.
Community Impact, which first reported the project, says it will update its story as more information becomes available. For now, League City residents curious about the new medical plaza tenant have the address, the square footage and the price tag, but not yet a confirmed opening date.
