📰About McDonald's
McDonald's USA completed a $250,000 renovation of its Cedar Creek location at 2850 Highway 71 West in October 2023. The project, filed under the name McDonald's Cedar Creek, involved a 1,568 sq ft alteration to the existing structure in Bastrop County. TDLR closed the project file in October 2023, marking the end of the accessibility review process for this construction.
The scope of work focused on interior updates rather than structural expansion. The filing details the installation of a new customer service area, updated dining decor, and new fixtures and finishes in the restrooms. This renovation aligns with the company's broader strategy of refreshing existing locations, as McDonald's USA has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $4,500,000 across Texas, all marked as review complete or registered.
Project Economics and Design
The estimated cost of $250,000 places this project below the median estimated cost of $300,000 for renovation and alteration filings in Bastrop County. However, the cost per square foot of $159 is above the county median of $118. The scheduled build window of 21 days was significantly shorter than the county median of 97 days for similar work types.
Castles Design Group served as the design firm of record for this project. The firm has been involved in six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $16,250,000, including other McDonald's locations in Rosharon and New Braunfels. Kathy Ann Riley was the registered accessibility specialist listed on the filing. The project was privately funded on private land for private use.
The site is located in ZIP code 78612, an area with a population of about 19,830 and a median household income of $90,925 according to U.S. Census ACS 2023 five-year estimates. The housing stock is predominantly owner-occupied, with a median home value of $239,100.
Third-party reviews reflect the ongoing operation of the restaurant. A listing on TripAdvisor shows a rating of 3.8 based on five reviews, while Birdeye reports a rating of 3.4 based on 101 reviews. These sources describe the establishment as serving a variety of menu options made with quality ingredients. The TDLR record confirms the construction and accessibility review phases were finalized in October 2023.
