USAA - The Alamo Military Lounge in San Antonio, TX

The Texas General Land Office has registered a project with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) to renovate approximately 300 square feet of existing office and storage space into a lounge for military personnel and veterans. Located at 300 Alamo Plaza in San Antonio, Bexar County, the filing identifies the specific project name as USAA - The Alamo Military Lounge. The registered accessibility specialist for this work is Steven A Chacon, and the design firm of record is Alamo Architects. The project was registered with TDLR in November 2026, with construction start dates also listed for November 2026 and a completion date on the filing of April 2027. The estimated cost for this renovation is $250,000.

This small-scale alteration involves transforming a compact area within the historic Alamo Plaza complex. The scope of work is strictly defined as a renovation of existing space rather than new construction. The estimated cost per square foot for this project is $833. This figure is significantly above the county median of $85 per square foot for similar renovation and alteration filings in Bexar County. The scheduled build window of 137 days is longer than the county median of 103 days for comparable projects. The project is privately funded and situated on private land for private use, distinct from the larger public infrastructure projects often associated with the land office.

The Texas General Land Office maintains a portfolio of several other TDLR-registered projects, including the Alamo Visitor Center and Museum, the Recreation Pier, the West Texas Veterans Cemetery, and the Alamo Exhibition Hall and Collections Building. These other projects range in value from $11,500,000 to $185,000,000 and are in various stages of completion or review. Alamo Architects, the design firm for this lounge, has also worked on six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $74,313,603, including the 111 W Travis development and the MVISD Elementary School #7. The USAA project in San Antonio, listed at $2,900,000, is also in the registered stage.
