Construction Details and Ownership
VE Legacy Partners, LP is the owner of record for this privately funded project on private land. The design and engineering work is led by pb2 architecture + engineering, a firm that has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $42,430,000 across various Texas locations.

The work is classified as a Renovation/Alteration rather than new construction, targeting specific operational areas within the existing structure.
TDLR completed the plan review in March 2025, and the construction schedule indicated a start and completion date of June 2025. This seven-day scheduled build window is shorter than the 103-day median for similar renovation projects in Bexar County. The estimated cost is also below the $250,000 median for renovation filings in the county, and the $37 per square foot cost is below the $85 median.
Although the scheduled completion date has passed, the public record shows that TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. Consequently, the current physical state of the site is not confirmed in the official records. City of San Antonio permit records show two permits issued at this street address between March 2025 and February 2026, including one Electrical General Permit and one Minor Commercial Repair Permit, with the most recent being electrical.
The project is located in a commercial corridor along South Interstate 35. Nearby businesses include Fernandez Honda, Mac Haik's Southway Ford, and Vara Chevrolet, as well as lodging options like Motel 6 San Antonio, TX - South and WoodSpring Suites San Antonio South.
