A new James Avery retail space is under construction at the Bates Town Center in Little Elm. The project involves the interior finish out of a 2,370 sq ft suite located at 26564 E. University Dr. Suite 500. This new construction effort is scheduled to finish in November 2026, with work starting in August 2026.

The owner of record is Bates Towne Crossing, which is developing the space on private land. The design firm of record is Paddle Creek Design, which has registered six other TDLR projects across Texas. The estimated cost for this specific build is $675,000, resulting in a computed cost of $285 per square foot.

The scope of work is strictly limited to interior finish out, as stated in the TDLR filing. There is no indication of structural changes or exterior modifications in the provided facts. The project status is Review Complete.

Paddle Creek Design has a track record of completing similar retail and mixed-use projects in the region. Their other filings include The Palms Center in San Marcos and Village at Gateway in Forney, both with similar cost profiles. This consistency suggests a standard approach to interior finishes for commercial spaces in the Texas market.
