Oak Cliff Wonder restaurant-Tenant Finish Out

Wonder is a 3,500 sq ft restaurant renovation at 2525 Fort Worth Avenue in Dallas, Texas. The project involves creating a new dining space within an existing structure, with an estimated cost of $1,000,000. This investment represents a $286 per square foot expenditure, which is above the county median of $72 for similar renovation filings in Dallas County. The filing identifies the work as a tenant finish-out for the Wonder brand.

Project Details and Registration

Tuesday Real Estate is the owner of record for this privately funded project on private land. Hfa-Ae, LTD serves as the design firm, a company that has registered six other projects in the state, including large-scale developments in Alvin and Glen Rose. The registered accessibility specialist for the project is Landy Perkins. The project was registered with TDLR in March 2026. Plan review was completed in April 2026, and construction was scheduled to begin in the same month, with a target completion date of June 2026.

The scheduled build window of 70 days is close to the county median of 92 days for renovation and alteration projects. While the estimated cost places this project in the top quarter of comparable filings in the region, the timeline aligns with typical construction durations for spaces of this size. The site is located in ZIP code 75211, an area with a population of about 72,389 and a median household income of $56,377 according to U.S. Census estimates.

TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The TDLR status is listed as Review Complete. This status indicates that the design and accessibility plans have been approved, but it does not confirm that construction has finished or that the building is ready for occupancy. Readers should note that the lack of a final inspection record means the physical completion of the renovation remains unverified in the official database.

Local Context

The specific scope is limited to the interior fit-out for the Wonder restaurant concept, rather than new structural construction or major exterior alterations.
