The plan review was completed in September 2024, and construction was scheduled to begin in October 2024. The filing indicated a completion date of May 2025. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.
Location and Context
The project is located in Travis County, specifically within the 78702 ZIP code area. U.S. Census ACS 2023 five-year estimates for this ZIP code indicate a population of about 26,495 and a median household income of $101,304. The area has approximately 14,573 housing units, with a median owner-occupied home value of $644,200. Housing in this area is mostly renter-occupied. The Travis County unemployment rate was 3.9 percent in August 2026 according to FRED data.

These include the River South project in Austin, the Yoakum Masonic Lodge in Yoakum, and the Dinosaur Trackways Building in Austin. The S Lamar Office Center renovation focuses on converting exterior space into interior usable area, a common alteration in urban commercial properties. The specific scope of enclosing a covered porch suggests a modification to the building envelope to create additional conditioned space.
