Crumbl-Brooks in San Antonio, TX

La Picosa at Brooks, filed with TDLR as Crumbl-Brooks, is a 1,458 sq ft tenant improvement project at 7511 South New Braunfels Ave in San Antonio. The building passed its final TDLR accessibility inspection in September 2026, confirming that construction is complete. This new construction work, described in the filing as a Grey shell tenant improvement, was privately funded on private land for private use.

The project was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation in July 2023, with plan review completed that same month. Construction began in August 2023, and the filing listed an estimated cost of $250,000. The owner of record is Brooks Retail Partners Ltd., while JZW Architects served as the design firm. Doug W Martine is the registered accessibility specialist associated with the project. The scheduled build window was 56 days, which is shorter than the county median of 208 days for similar new construction filings in Bexar County.

Comparing this project to other TDLR-registered new construction filings in Bexar County, the estimated cost of $250,000 is below the county median of $600,000. However, the cost per square foot is $171, which is above the county median of $115 per square foot. The total size of 1,458 sq ft is smaller than the median size of 6,309 sq ft for comparable projects in the area. These figures are computed from 8,312 TDLR-registered new construction filings in Bexar County, with 1,146 registered in the last 24 months.

JZW Architects has been involved in six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $1,950,000. These include New Townwest in Huntsville, Braun Pointe Shopping Center in San Antonio, Shadow Hills Shopping Center in Lubbock, Building 2 in La Porte, and Saratoga Town Center in Corpus Christi. The firm’s work spans multiple Texas cities, indicating a regional presence in retail and commercial design. The project at 7511 South New Braunfels Ave is part of this broader portfolio of tenant improvements and new construction efforts.

City of San Antonio permit records show 10 permits on file at this street address, issued between March 2025 and March 2026. These include three Plumbing General Permits, three On Premise Sign permits, one Electrical General Permit, one Minor Commercial Repair Permit, and one Mechanical Permit. The declared valuations on these permits total $530,000.

The U.S. Census ACS 2023 five-year estimates for ZIP 78235 indicate a population of about 2,440, a median household income of $64,919, and 1,279 housing units. These figures provide context for the local market where the project is located. Bexar County’s unemployment rate in July 2026 was 4.7 percent, higher than a year earlier, according to FRED data. This economic backdrop may influence commercial development trends in the region, though the project itself is privately funded and complete.
