Continental General Buys New Headquarters Building at The Crossings at Lakeline
Continental General Holdings, together with its affiliates (“Continental General” or the “Company”), has announced the acquisition of the two-building office campus located at 11001 Lakeline Boulevard, formally known as The Crossings at Lakeline. This acquisition marks a pivotal moment in the Company’s history, transitioning its longtime headquarters from a leased space to a wholly owned, purpose-driven corporate home in the heart of Austin.
Continental General has operated from The Crossings at Lakeline for more than a decade, leasing the property since 2012. During this time, the location has evolved into much more than just an office—it has become the company’s operational and cultural nucleus. With this newly completed purchase, the Company now officially owns the 245,000-square-foot campus, enabling it to solidify its presence in Austin and ensure long-term stability for its operations and employees.
The acquisition ensures that the majority of Continental General’s approximately 245 employees will continue working from a single unified campus. The expansive property also offers ample room for future expansion and will accommodate remote and hybrid team members with flexible workspace configurations. This strategic move is intended to support the company’s long-term business objectives while enhancing the daily work experience for its employees.
A Strategic Investment in People and Purpose
Michael Gorzynski, Executive Chairman of Continental General, emphasized the deeper significance behind the acquisition.
“Through our acquisition of The Crossings at Lakeline, we are making a long-term investment in our people, our growth, and our future. By securing ownership of our headquarters, we are creating stability and prioritizing a space that fosters collaboration, innovation, and connection across our entire Continental General team,” Gorzynski said.
Gorzynski highlighted that the company’s decision to invest in the facility was shaped not only by financial and operational considerations, but also by a broader vision of company culture and organizational sustainability. He underscored that the new ownership allows Continental General to shape and customize its physical space to better support employees and business strategies over the long term.
Rooted in Austin, Ready for the Future
David Ramsey, President and CEO of Continental General, echoed those sentiments and pointed to the acquisition as a reflection of the company’s strong commitment to the city of Austin, which has served as the firm’s operational base for over ten years.
“We are pleased to now be able to call The Crossings at Lakeline our official home here in Austin,” said Ramsey. “This milestone is more than just a real estate transaction; it is a commitment to our community and a natural next step in our growth journey as we continue to build a stronger, more rooted Continental General.”
Ramsey noted that Austin’s thriving business environment, deep talent pool, and vibrant cultural landscape have made it an ideal city for the company’s continued development. The company intends to deepen its ties with the local community through philanthropic efforts, talent development partnerships, and initiatives aimed at promoting innovation and inclusion.
Creating a Collaborative, Future-Ready Environment
As part of the acquisition, Continental General plans to upgrade portions of the campus with the latest in workplace design and sustainability features. Planned enhancements include improved collaboration areas, upgraded digital infrastructure, wellness-centered amenities, and flexible workspaces designed to accommodate evolving hybrid work patterns.
These investments are aligned with Continental General’s broader goal of fostering a work environment that attracts and retains top talent, encourages collaboration across departments, and supports both in-person and remote teams with equal efficacy.
The Crossings at Lakeline, with its modern architecture and abundant natural light, already offers a strong foundation for these upgrades. Nestled in northwest Austin and surrounded by amenities, the location provides convenient access to major highways, public transportation, restaurants, and green space—an increasingly valuable factor for today’s workforce.
A Signal of Long-Term Confidence
The decision to purchase the campus reflects Continental General’s confidence in its long-term strategic direction and financial health. By shifting from tenant to owner, the company gains more direct control over its real estate costs and can more effectively plan for the future without the uncertainties of lease negotiations or relocation.
Real estate experts have noted that this type of corporate real estate acquisition, especially in a competitive and high-growth market like Austin, sends a strong signal of stability and long-range thinking—particularly important in industries navigating economic volatility or digital transformation.
For Continental General, the move also enables the organization to better integrate its physical space into its culture and operations. By owning its headquarters, the company can customize everything from space utilization and branding to employee amenities, creating a cohesive environment aligned with its mission and values.
Strengthening Community and Culture
Beyond operational benefits, the acquisition aligns with Continental General’s broader commitment to being a positive force within its community. The company has long supported initiatives related to financial literacy, workforce development, and economic empowerment. With a stable headquarters rooted in Austin, the Company plans to increase its involvement in regional community partnerships, internship programs with local universities, and neighborhood outreach efforts.
“This is a long-term play—not just for our business, but for the ecosystem around us,” said Gorzynski. “We’re here to grow alongside our people and our community. Owning our space allows us to truly build something that lasts.”
As Continental General embarks on this next chapter, the leadership team sees the acquisition of The Crossings at Lakeline as a foundation for sustainable growth. It enables the company to double down on its core values—collaboration, accountability, innovation, and community impact—while giving its team a space to thrive, create, and lead.
The transition from leasing to owning isn’t just a change in address—it’s a declaration of intent. Continental General is not just occupying space in Austin; it is investing in it, embedding itself more deeply in the region’s economic and social fabric, and laying the groundwork for its future as a modern, mission-driven enterprise.
As the Company continues to expand its capabilities and workforce, the new ownership of its headquarters will serve as both a symbol and tool of continuity, growth, and purpose.
