Construction Timeline and Status
Construction began in June 2020. The scheduled completion date was August 2020, and the final inspection was passed in that same month. This build window of 75 days is shorter than the county median of 120 days for similar renovation filings in El Paso County. The project was registered with TDLR in May 2020.
TDLR closed the project file in January 2026, which marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction. The status is now Project Closed. This timeline reflects a standard sequence for a private commercial remodel in the region, where the physical work was finalized in 2020 and the regulatory file was formally closed years later.
In the context of El Paso County renovation filings, this project's cost is above the county median of $204,735. The per-square-foot cost of $118 is also above the county median of $67. DHR Architects has been involved in six other TDLR-registered projects, totaling $7,850,000, including work in San Antonio. These figures indicate a higher-cost-per-unit renovation compared to the typical median for the area.
The location is in ZIP code 79925, where the U.S. Census estimates the population at about 40,241. The median household income in this area is $57,735. El Paso County's unemployment rate was 4.8 percent in July 2026, higher than a year earlier. This project represents a specific, completed instance of commercial space alteration within that local economic landscape.
