McAlisters Deli in Boerne, TX

McAlisters Deli is undergoing a tenant finish out in Boerne, Texas, adding 2,795 square feet of accessible space to an existing building at the northeast corner of IH-10 and Christus Parkway. The project, filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (TDLR) as “McAlisters Deli - Boerne,” is privately funded by Abiso Boerne LP and designed by Odom Architects. With an estimated cost of $450,000, the work represents a significant investment in the local commercial landscape, translating to a computed cost of $161 per square foot.

The scope of work focuses on the interior fit-out of the deli space, ensuring compliance with accessibility standards under the TDLR registration. Clinton P Ryan serves as the registered accessibility specialist for the project. Although the filing scheduled construction to begin in February 2026 and finish by May 2026, the public record indicates that TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. Consequently, the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record, and the completion of the physical structure remains unverified by state authorities.
