Triten Real Estate Partners, a nationally recognized real estate investment, development, and operating firm headquartered in Houston, today announced the strategic expansion of its team based in Atlanta, Ga. This expansion deepens Triten’s commitment to the dynamic Southeast region, an area where the firm has already established a robust presence in the industrial sector.
The Atlanta office is spearheaded by Principal Willie Ross, who will lead a pioneering team, including Associate Luke Schmit, Asset Manager Fazel Ahsan, and Analyst Ethan Gomez, leveraging their collective expertise to drive Triten’s growth initiatives across the Southeast.
About the Team:
- Willie Ross, Principal: Ross brings over 13 years of diverse commercial real estate experience spanning brokerage and principal roles. Willie brings his expertise to expanding the company’s presence in the Southeast and solidifying its position as a dominant player in industrial, IOS, and commercial real estate.
- Luke Schmit, Associate: A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, Schmit brings a keen eye for strategy and relationship building, dedicated to uncovering new opportunities and supporting significant deal teams.
- Fazel Ahsan, Asset Manager: With an M.S. in Commercial Real Estate from Georgia State University and prior experience managing over 10 million square feet at Brookfield Properties, Ahsan will be instrumental in driving value and performance across the firm’s industrial portfolio.

“There is an undeniable energy and enthusiasm surrounding our expansion in Atlanta,” said Scott Arnoldy, Founder of Triten Real Estate Partners. “We’ve cemented strong roots in the Southeast through successful transactions and relationships. Establishing a dedicated office there is a natural evolution. This move reinforces our commitment to being on the ground, closer to the opportunities and communities we serve, as we continue to innovate within the industrial landscape.”
Triten is widely recognized as one of the nation’s leading real estate investors specializing in Traditional Industrial and Industrial Outdoor Storage (IOS) acquisitions and development. The company currently manages and actively leases more than 25 assets across the Southeast, with approximately half located in the Atlanta market. As Triten continues to expand its presence in the region, the team is accelerating efforts to develop Class A industrial facilities, marking a strategic push beyond its Texas stronghold. This next phase of growth targets key logistics hubs across the Southeast, driven by strong tenant demand, evolving supply chain dynamics, and the company’s confidence in scaling its vertically integrated model in high-growth markets.
The strategic expansion into Atlanta underscores Triten Real Estate Partners’ long-term vision for growth and its dedication to becoming a dominant force in both specialized and traditional industrial real estate markets nationwide.
103 Enterprise Drive
Demonstrating its immediate impact and serious intent in the region, Triten Real Estate Partners has also expanded its footprint in the Atlanta MSA with the acquisition of 103 Enterprise Drive SW in Calhoun, Ga. This 151,200-square-foot facility marks Triten’s first traditional industrial acquisition in Atlanta and its first outside of Texas. Strategically positioned within the I-75 Northwest Corridor, a vital industrial submarket, the property offers superior transportation infrastructure and direct access to metro Atlanta, with proximity to the Appalachian Regional Port for rails service to the Port of Savannah. Fully leased through the end of 2025, this acquisition underscores Triten’s commitment to scaling its national footprint and actively pursuing traditional industrial assets.
“This acquisition of 103 Enterprise Drive SW immediately demonstrates our commitment to the Atlanta market and our aggressive pursuit of traditional industrial assets,” Ross said. “It’s a clear signal that Triten is not just expanding its team but actively deploying capital and expertise on the ground. While we continue to amplify our presence in the evolving IOS market, this strategic traditional industrial acquisition, our first outside of Texas, proves we are truly hitting the ground running, and actively seeking both speculative and build-to-suit opportunities across the Southeast to meet the broader demand for modern industrial facilities.”
