I built my 32X56X 12 high post frame shop 20 years ago. I also have a 14X 32 lean to on the north side. I did a lot of the work myself and likely cost me $25,000 then.
My insurance agent just did an appraisal for replacement value at over $100,000.
So the values listed at about $100,000 are likely pretty accurate.
If I was building another shop I would sure have the lean-to the full lenght of at least 1 side and both sides if possible. It makes for great RV storage.
When you pour the concrete floor build a lip or step so the door closes below the floor (only if your putting in an overhead door and heating the shop).
If you have plans for parking big RV's inside make the walls 14 or 16 feet.
You lose 2 feet of door height if you want an overhead door.
Good Luck..
