Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Texas, Inc. is installing approximately 1,230 square feet of temporary pre-fabricated kitchen equipment trailers at its San Antonio facility located at 1 Lonestar Pass.

The scope of work includes the installation of these mobile units along with the necessary associated utility infrastructure to support daily operations. The project was registered with TDLR in October 2026, with plan review pending. Construction is scheduled to begin in July 2026, and the entire project is targeted for October 2026. This compressed timeline reflects a focused effort to maintain operational continuity during the permanent kitchen renovation.

BHDP Architecture is the design firm of record for this project.
