AUS16 Coffee Shop

The renovation of Suite 500 at 11601 Alterra Pkwy in Austin is complete. The project, filed under the name AUS16 Coffee Shop, involved a commercial tenant improvement on the eighth floor of the Domain 10 building. The work covered 1,020 square feet of space, which was transformed into a new coffee area and a storage room.

The construction scope included the demolition and construction of non-structural partitions, ceilings, and finishes. The team also installed furniture and equipment, along with associated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) improvements. The total estimated cost for this renovation was $1,100,000, resulting in a cost of $1,078 per square foot.

TR Domain 10 LLC, affiliated with Cousins Properties Inc, is the owner of record for this project. Interior Architects served as the design firm, overseeing the layout and build-out.

The building passed its final TDLR accessibility inspection in February 2026, confirming that the construction phase has ended and the work is finished.

This renovation is part of a larger development context in Travis County.
