A new 17,378 sq ft retail building is under construction at Innovation Blvd in Hutto, Texas. The project, filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) as Hutto Retail-Shops 2 - Shell only, involves the new construction of a tilt-wall shell structure. The estimated cost for this development is $3,956,050, which equates to $228 per square foot.

SH130 Hutto LLC is the owner of record for this development. The design firm listed in the filing is Cuaso Design Studio, with Mark S Robinson serving as the registered accessibility specialist. The project is privately funded and located on private land in Williamson County. Construction work began in June 2026, following the completion of plan review by TDLR in the same month.

Project Scale and Cost Context

This development is significantly larger and more expensive than the typical new construction project in the area. Among 4,641 TDLR-registered new construction filings in Williamson County, the median estimated cost is $850,000 and the median size is 9,006 sq ft. The Hutto Retail-Shops 2 project exceeds these county medians, with a cost in the top quarter of registered filings. The $228 per square foot cost is also above the county median of $110 per square foot. The scheduled build window of 213 days is close to the county median of 245 days.

SH130 Hutto LLC has two other TDLR-registered projects in Hutto: Hutto Retail-Shops 1 and Sprouts Farmers Market. Both of these projects have completed their review processes. Cuaso Design Studio has six other registered projects across Texas, including another location in Hutto and projects in Austin, Georgetown, and Farmers Branch. This pattern suggests an active development strategy in the central Texas region.

The area surrounding the project has a population of approximately 43,466 people, with a median household income of $111,227. Housing in ZIP code 78634 is predominantly owner-occupied, with a median owner-occupied home value of $334,200. The Williamson County unemployment rate was 4.1 percent in July 2026, which is higher than a year earlier. These demographic and economic factors provide context for the retail development in this growing community.

The project is scheduled to finish in December 2026, according to the TDLR filing. The status of the project is Review Complete, indicating that all necessary regulatory approvals have been obtained. Construction is underway, with the completion date set for the end of the year. This timeline aligns with the typical build window for similar projects in the region.
