TDLR completed plan review in November 2024, and construction was scheduled to begin in March 2025 with a target completion date of December 2025. The scheduled build window of 303 days is longer than the county median of 183 days for this type of work.
The area includes other registered projects such as Atlassian East - Austin Campus and E 11th Restaurant. Nearby businesses include Juan in a Million, Bufalina Pizza, and Mr.Natural. Census estimates for ZIP 78702 indicate a population of about 26,495 and a median household income of $101,304.

The permit type is listed as Commercial Expedited Review - Change of Use from Single Family.
TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The project is privately funded on private land. While the scheduled completion date of December 2025 has passed, the lack of a final inspection means the construction status remains unresolved in official records. Third-party sources, such as a website description, refer to the location as a neighborhood bar and patio, but this does not confirm the completion of the specific construction work described in the TDLR filing.
