Downtown Austin Office Movers

Downtown Austin’s office market has picked up, with more companies signing leases, consolidating floors, and moving into newer towers. Moving an office downtown is mostly planning: dock times, freight elevators, certificates of insurance, and a schedule that keeps your team working. Elite Star Movers is a family owned and operated moving company with 20+ years of experience, based in Buda, TX, and we move offices and businesses into, out of, and around downtown Austin.

Every office move starts with a pre-move survey of both spaces and both buildings’ rules. Our team returns your quote call and builds the plan with you, and Hector Jr leads the crew on move day. Our slogan is simple, We Can Handle It, and our motto guides every job: Serving People & Protecting Furniture, Peace by Piece.

Downtown Office Moves We Handle

Full office relocations: desks, chairs, conference tables, filing cabinets, break rooms, and every box, from one building to another.
Floor-to-floor and suite-to-suite moves: moving within the same tower, where elevator timing and hallway protection matter most.
Moves out of downtown: to the Domain, East Austin, South Austin, Round Rock, Buda, or anywhere in Central Texas.
Moves into downtown: from suburban office parks into a downtown tower.
Small offices and professional suites: law, accounting, medical-administrative, design, and tech offices.
Packing: full or partial packing of files, supply rooms, break rooms, and fragile equipment. See our packing services.

After-Hours and Weekend Office Moves

The best office move is one your clients never notice. Many downtown moves are scheduled for evenings or weekends so your team works a normal day, we move overnight or over the weekend, and everyone sits down at a ready desk the next business day. Some buildings only allow moves after business hours anyway, so we plan around both your schedule and theirs. Tell us your hours and your building’s allowed move times when you request a quote.

Working With Your Building: COIs, Freight Elevators, and Loading Docks

Certificates of insurance (COI): Downtown buildings almost always require a COI naming the owner and property manager, sometimes with specific wording. Send us both buildings’ requirements early so the certificate is ready before move day.
Freight elevators: Most towers require a reserved freight or service elevator block. Reserve the same window at both buildings when you can, and ask whether the elevator is padded or whether the movers need to pad it.
Loading docks: Docks are shared with deliveries and booked in time slots, and many have height and length limits for trucks. We ask for the dock window and limits during the pre-move survey and send the right size truck.
Floor, wall, and door protection: We protect hallways, door frames, elevator interiors, and floors along the path, which most buildings require.
Street loading: If a building has no usable dock, the truck may need the curb lane. Ask your property manager what is allowed, and we will help you work through the plan.

IT, Workstations, and Office Furniture

Your IT team handles the tech: Have your IT person or vendor back up data and disconnect computers, phones, servers, and network gear before we arrive, and reconnect them at the new space.
We move the equipment safely: Monitors, computers, and printers are padded and wrapped, and each workstation’s gear stays together and is placed at the right desk.
Desks and workstations: Desks, tables, shelving, and standard workstations are taken apart, protected, moved, and put back together. If your office uses modular cubicle systems with built-in power or data, tell us during the survey so we can coordinate with your furniture vendor.
Labeling plan: Label every box, chair, and piece of equipment with its destination desk or room number, and share the new floor plan. Our crew places everything right the first time.

How We Keep Downtime to a Minimum

Pre-move survey. We walk both spaces, review the inventory, and confirm the building rules, docks, and elevators.
A written plan and schedule. We agree on the crew size, the trucks, the order things move, and the time windows at both buildings.
One point of contact. You choose one person who knows the floor plan and can make decisions on move day.
Phased moves when needed. Larger offices can move department by department so part of the team keeps working.
Move day. Hector Jr leads the crew. Furniture is padded and wrapped, the path is protected, and everything is placed by the floor plan.
Setup and walk-through. We reassemble furniture, put boxes in the right rooms, and walk through with you before we leave.

Downtown Austin: Local Notes

Congress Avenue and the core: Towers along Congress Avenue and the blocks around the Capitol have busy docks and strict time slots. Book early, especially near month-end.
2nd Street, Seaholm, and Rainey: Newer mixed-use buildings often share docks between offices, retail, and residents, so windows can be short.
Events and closures: Downtown streets close for festivals, races, and big weekends. Check the event calendar before you pick a date, and tell us if your move lands near one.
Traffic: I-35, MoPac, and Cesar Chavez back up at rush hour. Evening and weekend moves avoid most of it.

Downtown Austin Office Moving FAQs

Can you move our office after hours or on a weekend?

Yes. Many downtown office moves happen in the evening or over a weekend so your team can work right up to the move and be back at their desks the next business day. Tell us your hours and your building’s allowed move times when you request a quote.

Can you provide a certificate of insurance for our building?

Yes. Downtown buildings almost always require a certificate of insurance (COI) naming the building owner and property manager. Send us the exact wording from both buildings as early as you can so it is ready before move day.

Do you disconnect and reconnect computers and servers?

No. Your IT team or vendor should handle disconnecting and reconnecting computers, phones, servers, and network gear. We pack, pad, and move the equipment, keep each workstation’s gear together, and place it at the right desk so your IT team can reconnect quickly.

Do you do a pre-move survey for office moves?

Yes, every time. We walk both spaces, in person or by video call, and look at the inventory, the freight elevators, the loading docks, and the building rules. That is how we size the crew and trucks and build your schedule.

Do you also move downtown condos and apartments?

Yes. For home moves in downtown high-rises, see our downtown Austin movers page. For office and business moves anywhere in Central Texas, see commercial moving.
