The renovation of Bandera Oaks at 5776 Stemmons Drive in San Antonio is complete. The building passed its final TDLR accessibility inspection in June 2026, confirming that the construction phase has ended. This project involved the renovation of an existing structure within Bexar County, specifically targeting Suite 107 of the property.

The scope of work included the installation of new walls, doors, and millwork, alongside comprehensive updates to the plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems. The total estimated cost for this renovation and alteration was $5,000,000. This figure places the project in the top quarter of estimated costs for similar renovation filings in Bexar County, where the median is $250,000. The renovation covered a total of 56,909 sq ft, resulting in a cost of $88 per square foot, which is close to the county median of $85.
