Bee Cave Retail Lot 4 - In Home Shutters

The Bee Cave Retail Lot 4 - In Home Shutters project at 15500 W Highway 71 Bldg B Ste 210 underwent a completed renovation in 2021. This 1,788 sq ft project involved a build-out for retail use within the Bee Cave, TX 78738 area. The work was classified as a renovation and alteration, with a total estimated cost of $120,831. The project was privately funded on private land for private use, with Cody Musser listed as the owner of record.

Brazos served as the design firm for this specific build-out. The scope of work included architectural elements, fixtures, and equipment, along with mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and signage (MEPS) components. Michael Herman was the registered accessibility specialist associated with the filing. The construction start date was April 2021, and the scheduled completion date was May 2021, resulting in a build window of approximately 39 days.

Project Scale and Cost Context

The estimated cost of $120,831 places this project below the median estimated cost for renovation and alteration filings in Travis County, which is $296,998. It falls within the bottom quarter of the county's cost distribution for this type of work. The size of 1,788 sq ft is also below the county median of 3,800 sq ft for similar projects. The cost per square foot was $68, which is below the county median of $103 per sq ft. This indicates a relatively lean renovation compared to the broader market in Travis County.

Cody Musser has one other TDLR-registered project in the Bee Cave Center, totaling $81,855, which is also closed. The design firm Brazos has worked on six other TDLR-registered projects, including locations in Jacinto City, Spring, Hutto, Corpus Christi, and Brenham, with a combined total of $1,378,817. These projects include various commercial tenants such as Domino's Pizza locations and other retail spaces.

Completion and Regulatory Status

The project was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in April 2021. TDLR closed the project file in May 2021, which marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction. The status is officially recorded as Project Closed. The area where this project is located, ZIP code 78738, has a population of about 28,790 and a median household income of $169,911, according to U.S. Census American Community Survey 2023 estimates. The housing stock in this area is predominantly owner-occupied, with 11,907 housing units and a median owner-occupied home value of $754,600.

The Travis County unemployment rate was 3.9 percent in July 2026, according to FRED data. This context provides a snapshot of the local labor market during and after the project's completion. The project's quick turnaround, with a 39-day build window, is shorter than the county median of 98 days for similar renovation and alteration projects. This efficiency may reflect the specific scope and private funding nature of the work.
