LS ELECTRIC BASTROP CAMPUS PROJECT - NEW OFFICE BUILDING ADDITION

LS Electric America INC. completed a 13,193 sq ft office building addition to its existing 45,565 sf facility at 409 Technology Drive in Bastrop. The project, filed as the LS Electric Bastrop Campus Project - NEW Office Building Addition, was privately funded and carried an estimated cost of $5,000,000. This expansion represents a significant capital investment in the company’s Texas infrastructure, with a computed cost of $379 per square foot.

Construction Details and Timeline

Registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in December 2023, the construction phase began in February 2024. The filing indicated a scheduled completion date of December 2024. TDLR closed the project file in December 2024, which marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction. The registered accessibility specialist of record was Darrell Glen Smith, while FTC Architects served as the design firm.

The site is privately owned and used for private business purposes. The scale of this project places it in the top quarter of estimated costs for similar additions in Bastrop County, where the median estimated cost for such filings is $450,000. The scheduled build window of 306 days was longer than the county median of 183 days for comparable work.

LS Electric America INC. has two other TDLR-registered projects in Bastrop, both of which are closed. These previous projects totaled $600,000 in estimated costs. FTC Architects, the design firm for this campus addition, has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $10,585,000, with locations in Austin, Georgetown, and Haltom City. The Bastrop project is the largest among these recent filings by the firm.

According to a press release on ls-electric.com, the company held a completion event for the Bastrop Campus on April 14, 2025. A Facebook post by lselectricglobal described the event as the opening ceremony for the facility, noting it as the company's first North American production facility. A YouTube video titled "LS ELECTRIC Bastrop Campus Grand Opening" also documents the event. These third-party reports indicate the facility is active, though the TDLR record specifically confirms the completion of the construction and accessibility review process.
