📰About HOWDY HOMEMADE ICE CREAM
Howdy Homemade Ice Cream is preparing a new 1,400 square foot location at Bates Towne Crossing in Aubrey, Texas. The project involves a tenant finish out within the existing commercial structure, with an estimated construction cost of $200,000. The work is a new construction filing for a specific retail space, distinct from the broader development of the shopping center itself.
Bates Towne Crossing LLC serves as the owner of record for this specific tenant improvement. The design firm of record is Wright Group Architects PLLC, which has handled other commercial projects in the region. Brandon Mark Quimbey is the registered accessibility specialist responsible for ensuring the new space meets Texas accessibility standards.
The project timeline indicates a focused build period. TDLR completed plan review in May 2026, and construction is scheduled to finish in December 2026, with work starting August 2026. This creates a scheduled build window of 152 days. The estimated cost of $200,000 places the project below the county median for new construction filings in Denton County, which is $900,000. The cost per square foot is estimated at $143, which is above the county median of $121 per square foot.
The location is situated at 26564 E University Dr #Ste 200 in Aubrey, within Denton County.
