Shoe Show

A 6,986 sq ft tenant up-fit at the Andrews Shopping Center on 1207 Main Street is registered with TDLR for a renovation estimated at $244,500. The project, identified as Shoe Show in the filing, is scheduled to finish in December 2026, with construction starting in September 2026. This work involves altering an existing space within a privately owned commercial complex in Andrews, Texas.

The scope of work is specific and focused on interior fit-out rather than structural expansion. It includes the installation of a new stock room wall and door, new carpeting, and paint. The renovation also upgrades the lighting to energy-efficient fixtures and installs merchandise fixtures tailored for the tenant’s inventory. This type of alteration is typical for retail spaces preparing for a new brand or a refreshed presentation.

Project Details and Cost Context

The estimated cost of $244,500 translates to $35 per square foot. This figure is below the median estimated cost of $325,000 for similar renovation and alteration filings in Andrews County over the last 24 months. The project’s size of 6,986 sq ft is larger than the county median of 5,800 sq ft, but the lower cost per square foot suggests a straightforward interior update without major structural changes. The scheduled build window of 91 days is shorter than the county median of 158 days for this type of work.
