Associa, the nation’s largest community‑management firm, disclosed plans to invest approximately $12 million in expanding its global headquarters campus in Richardson, Texas. The project, named Creekview III, will add a two‑story, 23,000‑square‑foot building at 1300 Lookout Drive, providing dedicated corporate‑event space and a new home for the company’s in‑house print shop, INK. According to the Manila Times, construction is tentatively slated to begin in December 2026, with completion expected by the end of 2027, pending contractor selection.
John Carona, CEO of Associa, said, “Richardson has been an important part of Associa’s growth, and this expansion reflects our continued commitment to the city and our future. By investing in spaces that bring our teams together and strengthen our operations, we’re creating more opportunities to collaborate, innovate and better serve the communities that rely on us.” The announcement underscores Associa’s long‑term commitment to North Texas, building on a 2025 consolidation of its corporate operations into the existing two‑building campus that currently houses roughly 850 employees.
The new facility will complement the existing campus by offering a venue for company gatherings and essential business functions, enhancing collaboration across teams and supporting the operational needs of Associa’s growing global organization. As one of Richardson’s major employers, the expansion is expected to reinforce the city’s business community and may generate additional local jobs, although the company did not disclose specific employment numbers.
Richardson officials have welcomed the investment, noting that such corporate growth aligns with the city’s economic development goals and helps maintain a vibrant job market for residents. The expansion also reflects broader trends of companies investing in Texas for its business‑friendly environment and skilled workforce.
What’s next: Associa plans to finalize construction contracts in the coming weeks, with groundbreaking anticipated in December 2026. Residents can expect the new building to be operational by the end of 2027, at which point the company will begin using the space for corporate events and print‑shop operations.
