The filing describes the scope as interior remodeling for a coffee shop with retail components. The estimated cost for this work is $420,000, which translates to approximately $67 per square foot.

Project Status and Timeline

The project was registered with TDLR in November 2019. Plan review was completed in the same month, and construction was scheduled to begin immediately. The filing indicated a completion date of June 2021. However, the TDLR record has not yet recorded a final inspection. This means the public record does not confirm the current state of the site or the completion of all required work. The status is listed as Review Complete, but the final inspection step remains pending in the database.

Context from 38,922 TDLR-registered renovation and alteration filings in Harris County shows that this project’s estimated cost is above the county median of $250,000. The median size for similar projects is 4,000 square feet, making this renovation larger than the typical filing. The median cost per square foot in the county is $80, so this project’s $67 per square foot is below that median. The scheduled build window of 587 days is longer than the county median of 92 days for similar work types.

Third-party sources, such as an Instagram post by Old Town Harrisburg, describe the location as a kissing alley inspired by the original monument in Guanajuato, Mexico. A Facebook post by the same entity lists visiting hours and directions, but these are third-party claims and not part of the TDLR construction record.
