ATX Northline LTD is the owner of record for this privately funded project on private land. The registered accessibility specialist for the work is Landy Perkins. The project was registered with TDLR in June 2026, and plan review was completed in the same month. Construction is scheduled to start in July 2026 and is scheduled to finish in September 2026.

Project Scope and Cost

The scope of work is specifically limited to the interior finish out of the existing space. This is a renovation/alteration, not a new construction, meaning the structural shell of the building remains intact while the interior is adapted for restaurant use. The $400,000 estimated cost is above the Williamson County median of $250,000 for similar renovation filings. The $264 per square foot cost is also above the county median of $95 per square foot for this project type.

The scheduled build window from July to September 2026 is 66 days, which is shorter than the county median build window of 92 days for renovation/alteration projects in Williamson County. This indicates a focused, time-sensitive interior fit-out rather than a prolonged construction phase.
