Redemise / Landlord Scope - Spaces A03 & A04 in El Paso, TX

Construction at 8401 Gateway Blvd. West, Suite# A03 and A04, El Paso, TX 77925, involves the renovation of 4,371 sq ft of interior space within the Cielo Vista Mall. The project, filed under the name Redemise / Landlord Scope - Spaces A03 & A04, is privately funded and located on private land in El Paso County. The estimated cost for this renovation and alteration work is $400,000. This figure places the project above the median estimated cost of $203,814 for similar renovation and alteration filings in El Paso County over the last 24 months. The scheduled build window of 66 days is shorter than the county median of 120 days for comparable projects.

The scope of work includes the demolition of existing interior elements to the extents shown on the plans. A new demising wall will be constructed to divide the area into two distinct spaces. Following this structural change, minimal improvements will be made to prepare the area for a "Vanilla Box" build-out. The project was registered with TDLR in April 2026, and plan review was completed in June 2026. Construction was scheduled to begin in May 2026, with a completion date of August 2026. The cost per square foot is calculated at $92, which is above the county median of $66 per square foot for similar work.

Project Details and Status

Jonathon Valenzuela is listed as the owner or developer of record for this project. The design firm of record is Onyx Creative, which has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $1,890,000. These other projects include locations in San Antonio, Brenham, Hockley, Edna, and Conroe. Julie Ericson Gereda is the registered accessibility specialist for this filing. The TDLR status is Review Complete. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.

The project is a one-off renovation within a larger mall complex, distinct from the broader commercial development patterns seen in the region. The specific focus on creating two spaces from a single area suggests a landlord-side improvement intended to increase the number of available retail units. The "Vanilla Box" designation indicates that the space will be delivered in a basic, unfinished state, ready for a tenant to complete their specific interior fit-out. This approach is common in commercial real estate to maximize flexibility for future tenants.

The construction timeline was tight, with a six-month window from registration to scheduled completion. The quick turnaround reflects the efficiency of the design and build process for this type of interior renovation. The project's cost and size are consistent with mid-range commercial interior upgrades in El Paso. The lack of a final inspection record means that the project may still be in the process of completing final touches, or that the paperwork for the final sign-off is pending. Readers should verify the current status directly with the property management or the local building authority if they are involved in a transaction related to these specific suites.
