CASE STUDY

Dental Real Estate Case Study: Building Purchase in Dunwoody, GA

Client: General Dental Practice   |   Market: Dunwoody, GA   |   Transaction Type: Building Purchase

$1.3M+ PROJECTED EQUITY GAIN

OVER THE FIRST 10 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP

The Situation

A growing general dental practice in Dunwoody, GA had outgrown its leased space. The location no longer supported the practice's patient volume or its projected growth, but the existing lease still had 24 months remaining before renewal. Rather than wait out the term or sign another lease that would eventually be too small, the practice brought in Carson to explore ownership as a long-term alternative.

The Results

1. A 2-Story Building Acquired Below Market

Identified and negotiated the purchase of a two-story office building less than 2 miles from the practice's original location, at under $140/SF, in a tight submarket where pricing rarely comes in that low.

2. 24 Months of Lease Runway Turned Into Ownership

Rather than wait for the existing lease to run out, Carson moved early to secure a superior long-term outcome, well ahead of the practice being forced back into the leasing market.

3. Existing Tenant Retained, Rent Increased 15%

Negotiated for the building's in-place tenant to extend its term and increase rent by 15%, creating immediate income stability and offsetting a significant share of the client's occupancy costs.

4. Room Built for Growth

The new two-story building gives the practice significantly more space than its previous lease, sized for both current patient volume and future expansion.

5. Over $1.3M in Projected 10-Year Equity Gain

Between principal pay-down and appreciation, ownership is projected to build more than $1.3 million in equity over the first 10 years, value that would have otherwise gone to a landlord.

By trading a landlord relationship for ownership, Carson positioned this practice to build over a million dollars in equity over the next decade, while a below-market purchase price and in-place tenant income offset the cost of getting there.
