Pullman Market Revisions

Pullman Market is undergoing a renovation at 221 Newell Ave in San Antonio's Tobin Hill neighborhood. The project involves revisions to shelving, equipment, and the service counter layout within the existing 9,282 sq ft grocery store. The filing also includes the addition of a new security partition and entry gate. The estimated cost for these alterations is $170,000.

The owner of record is Rio Perla Properties LP. The registered accessibility specialist for this project is Jessica Trevino Hamm. The work is privately funded on private land for private use. The project was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in August 2025, and plan review was completed in the same month.

Construction was scheduled to begin in September 2025, with a completion date listed as December 2025 on the filing. However, the TDLR record has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The scheduled build window of 91 days is close to the county median of 103 days for similar renovation filings in Bexar County.

The estimated cost of $170,000 is below the county median of $250,000 for renovation and alteration projects. The cost per square foot is approximately $18, which is below the county median of $85. Rio Perla Properties LP has five other TDLR-registered projects in San Antonio, with total values ranging from $10,200,600 to $300,000. These include the Pearl Brewery development and the 1939 Garage project.

City of San Antonio permit records show three permits on file at this street address, issued between September 2025 and September 2026. These include a Minor Commercial Repair Permit, a Solar - Photovoltaic Permit, and an Electrical General Permit. The most recent permit reference is for Suite 150 at 221 Newell Ave. Nearby businesses include Sam's Burger Joint, La Gloria, and The Twig Book Shop.
