Rothy's in San Antonio, TX

The Rothy's retail space at The Shops at La Cantera in San Antonio passed its final TDLR accessibility inspection in May 2026, confirming the completion of a 1,649 sq ft interior renovation. The project, located at 15900 LA CANTERA PKWY SPACE 1140 on the Northwest Side, involved a full build-out for the new tenant within an existing shell, with no changes to the exterior envelope or base building structure.

Scope and Cost

The work focused on interior finishes and product display fixtures for the Rothy's location, estimated at $100,000. This figure places the project below the median estimated cost of $250,000 for renovation and alteration filings in Bexar County. The cost per square foot was $61, which is below the county median of $85 per square foot for similar projects. The scheduled build window was 89 days, close to the county median of 103 days.

O’Neil Langan Architects served as the design firm of record. Tom Ellis was the registered accessibility specialist.
