A commercial real estate expert says the National Rifle Association is zeroing in on North Texas as it looks to relocate its headquarters out of Virginia.
He tracks what entities are touring what facilities, who’s buying, leasing or sub-leasing space in the business magnet DFW has been for most of the past 15 years.
“They’ve been looking at Texas since at least 2021. They kind of pulled back and then started looking again this year,” he said. “They looked at Richardson and several other northern suburbs and now it seems like their focus is on Las Colinas/Freeport area is on their shortlist. They’re in negotiations to take a whole building in that area which would be roughly about 300,000 square feet.”
“Last year, the NRA announced that it is considering strategic options regarding a corporate relocation, and Texas remains a preferred choice for a future HQ,” says Andrew Arulanandam, managing director of NRA Public Affairs. “That said, the NRA Board of Directors has not made any decision – and the Association is not in contract negotiations with any property in Texas.
“I just don’t think it’s a good idea for them to be here and I don’t think it’s going to do any good for our community,” she said.
