USAA D03E Office Renovation

USAA completed a $2,100,000 renovation at 9800 Fredericksburg Road in San Antonio, adding 12 new offices to a 35,300 sq ft space. The project, filed as USAA D03E Office Renovation, replaced demountable partitions with built drywall construction and included comprehensive electrical and mechanical updates. This work transformed the Northwest Side location into a more structured office environment for the financial services firm.

The physical scope of the renovation focused on modernizing the interior layout. Workers removed existing temporary partitions in office and meeting areas, installing permanent drywall structures to define the new 12 offices. This alteration required significant coordination of electrical and mechanical systems to support the increased density and function of the renovated workspace. The result is a facility designed for long-term use rather than temporary arrangement.

Project Specifications and Timeline

Alamo Architects served as the design firm of record for this privately funded project. Stephen A Meyer acted as the registered accessibility specialist, ensuring the renovation met required standards. The project registered with TDLR in January 2026, with plan review completed the following month. Construction began in January 2026, and the building passed its final TDLR accessibility inspection in May 2026. The scheduled build window of 91 days was close to the Bexar County median of 103 days for similar renovation filings.

The estimated cost of $2,100,000 places this project above the county median for renovation and alteration work. While the total cost is in the top quarter of local filings, the cost per square foot is $59, which is below the county median of $85. This efficiency reflects the scale of the 35,300 sq ft space being altered. USAA maintains a significant presence in San Antonio, with this project adding to a portfolio of other registered developments in the city.

The site is located on the Northwest Side, near several established businesses including Public Storage, Belden's Automotive & Tires, and Sapphire Apartments. City of San Antonio permit records show 19 permits issued at this address between January 2025 and August 2026, covering mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and sidewalk work. These records indicate ongoing maintenance and renovation activities at the property, consistent with the completed TABS-registered project.
