$5.3M retail shell building filed for Elgin, Bastrop County

Elgin Crossing Ventures has registered a $5.3 million new-construction retail shell building in Elgin with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, with work estimated to start in January.

The TABS registration, filed October 29 under project number TABS2027004755, lists the scope as a ground-up mixed-use retail shell building of 35,525 square feet on Lot 4FR, Block 1 of the Elgin Village Subdivision in Elgin, in Bastrop County. The estimated construction cost is $5,268,000. The owner of record is Elgin Crossing Ventures. No tenant is assigned on the filing, and it says no tenant is providing the funds.

Why it matters

Elgin sits east of Austin in Bastrop County. A 35,525 square foot shell with no tenant assigned means the owner is building before signing an occupant, and the work is not tenant-funded. For agents and brokers working Bastrop County retail, it is space to track for lease-up once it delivers. For construction firms, it is new ground-up bid work with an estimated January start.

The numbers

The filing declares a $5.3 million construction cost for the 35,525 square foot shell. That figure is the declared job value on the state accessibility registration, not a sale price or loan amount, since TABS filings carry no financing detail. The project is privately funded on private land.

What’s next

Construction is estimated to run from January 4 to October 29, 2027. Watch the City of Elgin’s permit records for the matching building permit and for lease announcements once space is ready to market. More on the metro: Austin market coverage.
