OGH Development Gets Permit for 77-Unit West Campus Building

OGH Development has permit in hand for a 77-unit, seven-story multifamily building at 1103 West 24th Street, in West Campus, west of the University of Texas campus. The City of Austin approved the shell permit, numbered 2026-127144 BP, on Sept. 28, 2026, with a declared job valuation of $17,662,614 across 113,387 square feet.

Why it matters

West Campus is Austin’s main student-housing submarket, and a 77-unit shell permit there adds new beds near UT at a time when citywide permitting is down. The record names OGH Development itself as both applicant and general contractor, so the operating company is on the permit rather than a single-purpose LLC.

The numbers

The shell permit covers 113,387 square feet across seven stories and 77 housing units, with a total job valuation of $17,662,614 on file with the city. That valuation reflects the declared construction cost on the permit, not a sale price or appraised value. The same parcel, tracked under Travis County appraisal ID 0113000422, carries a companion parking garage permit for a 60,527-square-foot, three-level structure under its own number, 2026-127143 BP, filed the same day. Both fall under one master permit, 13492633, and both list OGH Development as applicant and contractor of record.

What’s next

The city has already approved first-time commercial finish-out permits on at least three floors of the building, floors 2, 4 and 7, each filed under the same master permit and each marked active. Filing finish-out permits alongside the shell suggests the team is lining up interior work early, though the record does not say when construction starts. The shell permit does not carry a stated completion date; it expires March 28, 2027, if construction work lapses. The American Developer will track subsequent certificate-of-occupancy filings at the address.
