Chipotle Mexican Grill

A new 2,450 sq ft freestanding Chipotle Mexican Grill is planned for TBD Ladera Blvd in Bee Cave, Texas. The project is registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) under the owner Ladera North, LTD, with an estimated construction cost of $300,000. This places the build cost in the bottom quarter of new construction filings in Travis County, where the median estimated cost is $1,000,000.

Red Architecture serves as the design firm of record for this location. The company has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $7,782,781, including a Chipotle in New Braunfels and a Cava in Austin. The scheduled build window for this Bee Cave project is 148 days, which is shorter than the county median of 304 days for similar new construction filings.

The project was registered with TDLR in July 2025, and plan review was completed in the same month. Construction was scheduled to begin in January 2026, with a completion date listed on the filing as June 2026. The current TDLR status is Review Complete, but the agency has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.

The site is located in ZIP code 78738, an area with a population of about 28,790 and a median household income of $169,911 according to U.S. Census estimates. Other businesses near this location include Chick-fil-A, The Home Depot, and Target. The Travis County unemployment rate was 4 percent in June 2026, higher than a year earlier.

This privately funded project is on private land for private use. The cost per square foot is $122, which is close to the county median of $125 for new construction. The accessibility specialist of record is Jeffery L Kelley. The project is part of the local retail landscape in Bee Cave, a community with predominantly owner-occupied housing and a median home value of $754,600.
