📰About Velvet Taco
A 2,600-square-foot tenant fit-out for Velvet Taco is registered at 1310 W University Ave in Georgetown, Texas. The project involves renovating Suite 103 within the Bluebonnet Plaza multi-tenant building, a one-story structure developed by OP III GTX Bluebonnet Plaza LTD. The estimated cost for this renovation and alteration work is $700,000, which equates to approximately $269 per square foot.
The filing identifies Design Collective as the design firm of record and Byron Ray Turner as the registered accessibility specialist. The scope describes a first-generation tenant fit-out in a new multi-tenant building. This project is part of a broader development effort by the owner, who has four other TDLR-registered projects in the area totaling $2,250,000. Design Collective has also been involved in six other registered projects across Texas, including a Velvet Taco location in Austin.
Project Status and Timeline
The project was registered with TDLR in November 2025 with a target completion date of July 2026. The scheduled build window is 95 days, which is close to the county median of 92 days for similar renovation projects. However, no plan review or inspection has been recorded since registration. Consequently, whether the construction proceeded as scheduled is not confirmed in the public record.
In terms of cost, this project is above the county median for renovation and alteration filings in Williamson County. The median estimated cost for such projects is $250,000, with the middle half ranging from $140,000 to $517,500. The $700,000 estimate places this project in the top quarter of costs for its type.
Third-party social media posts have indicated an upcoming grand opening, with one Facebook post by VelvetTaco referencing a Wednesday opening date in July. Another Instagram post invited local residents to visit the new location on University Avenue. These posts suggest public interest in the new restaurant, but they do not alter the TDLR record, which remains limited to the initial registration details.
The surrounding area includes other commercial developments such as Bluebonnet Plaza Shops 2 and the Georgetown Country Club. The ZIP code 78628 has a population of approximately 44,821, with a median household income of $117,198 according to U.S. Census estimates. This context highlights the residential and commercial density of the Georgetown area where the new tenant fit-out is situated.
