Starbucks - I-35 & N. Walters St. in San Antonio, TX

Starbucks Coffee is undergoing new construction at 2607 IH-35 North in San Antonio, Texas. The filing, registered with TDLR in July 2022, identifies the project as the creation of a 2,556 sq ft tenant space within an existing shell. The estimated cost for this build is $474,450, resulting in a computed cost of $186 per square foot. The scope of work includes interior partitions, finishes, equipment, lighting, HVAC, and drive-thru equipment, with signage handled under a separate permit.

The owner of record is Vaquero Ventures, and the design firm is idGROUP. TDLR completed plan review in July 2022, and construction was scheduled to begin in October 2022 with a completion date of March 2023. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.

Vaquero Ventures has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $4,800,000, including Starbucks locations in Waxahachie and Humble. The design firm, idGROUP, has six other registered projects totaling $2,260,005. In Bexar County, the median estimated cost for similar new construction is $600,000, with a median size of 6,300 sq ft. This project’s cost is below the county median, while its $186 per sq ft is above the county median of $115. The scheduled build window of 169 days is close to the county median of 208 days.
