Casper - Retail tenant improvement

Casper is undergoing a tenant improvement renovation at Barton Creek Square, located at 2901 South Capital of TX Hwy. in Austin, Texas. The project involves a 1,825 sq ft space within the existing structure, with a registered estimated cost of $750,000. This filing was registered with TDLR in January 2026, establishing the accessibility compliance framework for the work.

The scope of work includes the demolition of existing elements such as the storefront, interior partitions, millwork, ceilings, lighting, and FF&E. New installations are planned for the storefront, interior partitions, millwork, ceilings, lighting, FF&E, electrical, HVAC, and plumbing systems. The landlord structure, slab, demising walls, electrical equipment, and toilet room are designated to remain in place.

TPG Architecture, LLP is the design firm of record for this project. The registered accessibility specialist is David C Deming. The owner of record is Simon Property Group Texas LP. This project is privately funded on private land for private use. The construction start date listed in the filing is November 2025, with a scheduled completion date of March 2026.

TDLR completed plan review in February 2026. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The status of the project remains in the review complete stage regarding accessibility compliance documentation.
