The record, newest first

Conflicts and open questions
- The company's name appears as both La Porte One LLC and LaPorte 1, LLC. Hometown News Now says two unnamed developers formed it.
- MW and end user are not reported. No record after February 2026 was found.
The full record
- Status note
- The La Porte Board of Zoning Appeals approved a height variance on Jan. 13, 2026. A final site plan still needs city approval, and a local economic development official said the developers were still asking whether the project was possible.
