📰About Nelson Brew Works
Nelson Brew Works at 209 S. Main St. in Copperas Cove is a renovation project that closed its TDLR accessibility review in January 2025. The work involved remodeling an existing single-story structure of 2,042 square feet and adding a 1,085 square foot patio to create a restaurant with beer production capabilities. The total project area is 3,127 square feet, with an estimated cost of $250,000.
The project was privately funded on private land for private use. David and Tammie Nelson are the owners of record, and OPA Design Studio served as the design firm. Joseph Husband was the registered accessibility specialist for the work. Construction began in December 2023, following the TDLR registration in November 2023.
Project Scope and Cost Context
The filing describes the scope as the remodeling of the existing interior and the addition of the patio to support micro-brewery operations. The estimated cost of $250,000 is close to the median estimated cost for renovation and alteration filings in Coryell County, which is also $250,000. The project’s cost per square foot is $80, which is close to the county median of $77 per square foot.
The scheduled build window for this project was 427 days, which is longer than the county median of 92 days for similar renovation filings. This placement avoids specific floodplain construction requirements associated with higher-risk areas.
