Construction Timeline and Status

Beau Nickels is listed as the owner of record for this privately funded project on private land. Scales Engineering served as the design firm, and Martin Randell Stumberg is the registered accessibility specialist. The project was registered with TDLR in August 2025, with construction scheduled to begin in September 2025. The scheduled completion date on the filing was March 2026.

Plan review was completed in March 2026. However, the TDLR record has not yet recorded a final inspection. Consequently, the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record, and the business opening status remains distinct from the construction filing status.

The scheduled build window for this project was 177 days, which is shorter than the county median of 245 days for new construction projects in Williamson County. The estimated cost is above the county median of $850,000 for this type of work, reflecting the larger scale of the 20,000-square-foot facility compared to the median size of 9,006 square feet.
