How We Helped an Atlanta Company Break Into Texas With a Smart Site Acquisition Strategy

Overview

Lavista CRE guided an Atlanta client into the competitive Frisco, TX market, securing a strategic headquarters through a smart, ownership-driven acquisition—turning distance into advantage.

425 Peachtree Hills Ave, Atlanta, GA

Challenge

When one of our Atlanta-based clients was ready to expand to North Texas, they weren’t interested in leasing—they wanted to own. They needed a strategic headquarters location in the fast-growing city of Frisco, Texas. The problem? It’s one of the most competitive real estate markets in the country.

Navigating that kind of high-stakes environment from a thousand miles away can feel impossible—unless you’ve got the right team guiding you through it.

Here’s how we helped our client break into Texas with confidence and control:

  • Secured a prime headquarters location in Frisco, TX for an Atlanta-based client

  • Structured a strategic purchase—not a lease—for long-term control and market presence

  • Partnered with a local Dallas broker to navigate one of the nation’s most competitive CRE markets

Our Approach

At Lavista, we specialize in national site acquisition advisory—and that starts with building the right partnerships.

  • We teamed up with a trusted Dallas broker who had deep market knowledge and on-the-ground relationships.
  • Conducted a targeted site selection process, identifying properties that matched the client’s long-term operational goals.
  • Structured a purchase deal (not a lease) that positioned the client for sustained market presence and control over their real estate footprint.

Outcome

The client secured a prime Frisco property for their new Texas headquarters—achieving full ownership, long-term stability, and a strong foothold in a competitive market.

  • Closed on a prime Frisco property tailored for the company’s new Texas headquarters
  • Delivered a cost-effective purchase in a highly competitive market
  • Strengthened the client’s expansion strategy through strategic commercial real estate ownership

Lesson Learned

Breaking into a new market is a big leap. But with a clear strategy, local expertise, and national execution, we helped this client land exactly where they needed to be—on their terms, with full ownership.

If you’re looking at expanding into Texas or evaluating site acquisitions in Frisco, Lavista will bring the clarity, team, and tactics to make it happen.

Closing Thought

Breaking into a booming market like Frisco takes more than ambition—it takes precision. With the right team, the right strategy, and the right local intel, bold expansion isn’t just possible—it’s profitable.
