TriNet & CRH: Catalysts in Atlanta’s Real Estate Scene

Let’s talk about two recent moves that are subtly shaping the future of our local real estate market—and why they matter.

TriNet’s Big Leap into Dunwoody’s High-Street District

TriNet, the HR solutions powerhouse, isn’t just relocating—it’s anchoring. Their new 150,000-square-foot corporate center in Dunwoody’s High-Street mixed-use district represents the largest office lease deal in Atlanta for 2025 . This marks a $15.4 million investment, and plans are underway to generate 750 jobs over five years .

This isn’t just corporate expansion—it’s a vote of confidence in Dunwoody’s live/work/play model: walkable amenities, access to MARTA, and a vibrant community mixed with retail, residential, and green space .

CRH’s Strategic Move to Roswell: More Than Bricks and Mortar

CRH—the global building materials leader—has chosen Roswell for its new Finance & Accounting Shared Services Center, at 1120 Sanctuary Parkway. The $1.7 million facility is expected to bring 300+ finance and accounting jobs, with full operations staffing targeted by 2029 . And once up and running, CRH will have more than 1,400 employees across Georgia .

This move reinforces metro Atlanta’s pull as a global services hub—CRH had already established its Americas Materials headquarters in the area, and this expansion deepens their roots .

What These Moves Mean for Real Estate

Momentum for Commercial Office Space

TriNet’s lease in Dunwoody signals rising demand for quality office environments within mixed-use developments. That could give a fresh boost to nearby properties and redefine what prime office space looks like in the region.

Residential Ripple Effects

With close to 1,000 added jobs from just these two companies, demand for both rentals and home ownership in Dunwoody, Roswell, and adjacent markets is expected to climb. Especially among mid- to high-income professionals—and that spells opportunity for developers focused on walkable, amenity-rich residential projects.

A Neighborhood Feeling for the Suburbs

Urban-influenced suburban locations are gaining cachet. TriNet’s presence in High Street—the thriving live/work/play district—is precisely the kind of development that reshapes property values and lifestyle expectations.

Value in Infrastructure and Connectivity

These expansions underscore why well-connected suburbs, with strong transit options and infrastructure, are attractive to employers—and to the real estate market.

Final Thoughts

Atlanta’s suburbs are evolving. With firms like TriNet, placing bets on mixed-use innovation in Dunwoody, and CRH, consolidating global operations in Roswell, the region’s real estate scene is entering a new chapter. It’s not just about commercial leases or office relocations—it’s about crafting neighborhoods where professionals can live, work, and thrive.
