Granada Ridge in Austin, TX

Granda Ridge LLC is building a new 1,849 sq ft leasing office at 8327 W. US Hwy 290 in Austin. This single-story structure serves as the administrative hub for a 372-unit apartment complex located in the Oak Hill neighborhood of Travis County. The project represents a significant private investment, with an estimated cost of $2,000,000, which calculates to $1,082 per square foot. This cost per square foot is above the county median of $125 for new construction filings, reflecting the specialized nature of high-end residential leasing spaces.

Mark Hart Architecture is the design firm of record for this project. The firm has handled six other TDLR-registered projects in the region, totaling $69,355,000. These include the Urban Empowerment Zone 1 and Real Street Apartments in Austin, as well as the Ledgestone Building-3 in Dripping Springs. Elaine K Andersen is the registered accessibility specialist ensuring the space meets Texas accessibility standards. The project was registered with TDLR in September 2024, and plan review was completed in the same month.

Construction Timeline and Status

Construction on the Granada Ridge Leasing Office is scheduled to finish in January 2027. Work is set to begin in January 2025, creating a build window of 760 days. This duration is longer than the county median of 304 days for similar new construction projects. The extended timeline accounts for the detailed interior finishes and exterior landscaping typical of a high-end leasing center. The TDLR status is Review Complete, indicating that the design phase has satisfied regulatory requirements before ground-breaking.

At this address, City of Austin permit records show nine plumbing permits issued between July 2026 and August 2026. These permits include specific work for a new construction pool identified as building 7 and a maintenance room for building 8. The presence of these permits suggests that the construction phase involves significant utility and amenity installation. The site is located in ZIP code 78737, where the median household income is estimated at $164,066 according to U.S. Census data. The area is predominantly owner-occupied, with a median home value of $689,200.

The project is privately funded on private land for private use. No public funds are involved in the development of this leasing office. The surrounding area includes other registered projects such as the Ascension Seton Southwest Hospital and Walnut Creek Business Park, both undergoing renovations. The new leasing office will integrate into this evolving commercial and residential landscape in West Austin. Granda Ridge LLC is the owner of record, and the project is part of the broader Granada Ridge development.
