$5.8M office and workshop build registered on Hwy 183 in Buda

A 24,800 sq ft office and workshop building planned for 12111 S Hwy 183 in Buda registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation on Oct. 12 at an estimated cost of $5.8M. The filing, TABS2027003339, names the project Opifex Gen Rents. The owner of record is an entity with a Minneapolis address, and Houston’s MoGo Architects is the design firm.

Why it matters

The filing describes the scope only as a ground-up office and workshop, with no tenant assigned. For site-work and MEP subs, it is a $5.8M job with no general contractor named yet. It also puts an out-of-state owner on the Hwy 183 frontage near Buda, on the Travis County side of the line. More Austin-area filings are on the Austin market page.

The numbers

The TABS record puts the estimated construction cost at $5.8M for 24,800 sq ft, about $234 per sq ft. TDLR lists an estimated start date of Jan. 1, 2027, and an estimated completion date of Jan. 1, 2028, a 12-month build. The filing names no general contractor and no tenant. TDLR classes the job as new construction, privately funded on private land. The record places the site in Travis County, although the mailing address reads Buda, so county and city permitting both bear checking before bids go out.

What’s next

A TDLR registration records the project’s scope, owner and estimated cost for accessibility review. It is not a building permit, and local permits still have to issue before site work begins. The Jan. 1 start estimate puts the earliest groundbreaking about 10 weeks out.
