BLUEBONNET BUSINESS CENTER in Austin, TX

Bluebonnet Business Center, Building 2, is an 88,754-square-foot, one-story cold dark shell warehouse located at 9219 Old Manor Road in Austin. The structure features tiltwall construction and includes associated siteworks for rear-load facilities. This new construction project was filed with TDLR in February 2023, with a scheduled completion date of March 2025.

The project is privately funded and developed by Hines. Powers Brown Architecture serves as the design firm of record. The estimated cost for this specific building is $4,437,700, which equates to $50 per square foot. The scope of work specifies a speculative rear-load warehouse, with future tenant improvements and hazardous storage to be permitted separately.

Construction Status and Location

According to the public record, construction was scheduled to begin in March 2023. Although the scheduled completion date of March 2025 has passed, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. Consequently, the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.

Context from TDLR filings in Travis County indicates that this project’s cost is above the county median for new construction. The scheduled build window of 735 days is longer than the county median of 304 days. However, the cost per square foot of $50 is below the county median of $125. Hines has six other TDLR-registered projects, and Powers Brown Architecture has six other projects in the state, reflecting a significant portfolio of commercial development.

Third-party sources describe Bluebonnet Business Center as a four-building, Class A industrial park in Northeast Austin. The project website mentions electric vehicle charging stations throughout the development. City of Austin permit records show 20 permits on file at this street address, issued between January 2024 and December 2025, primarily for plumbing and electrical work.
