Ebix To Move Headquarters to Johns Creek

Staff Report

Atlanta-based commercial real estate developer TPA Group on Wednesday announced that Ebix Inc. has purchased a 100,000-square-foot building and 11.6 acres of land in Johns Creek Technology Park, a master-planned technology park located in Fulton County, the city of Johns Creek said in a press release.

The building is a Class A office building and is Gold LEED Certified.

Ebix is a global provider of software and e-commerce services to the insurance and medical industries and has more than 35 offices around the world. The building will serve as the company’s new global headquarters, creating a world-class work environment and facility that can serve as a showcase for presenting all its products and services under one roof.

“First and foremost, I am grateful to have such an outstanding partnership with TPA in working toward recruiting the very best businesses to Johns Creek,” said Johns Creek Mayor Mike Bodker. “With Ebix, we have done just that and I welcome Ebix and their employees to our community. With Johns Creek boasting the highest quality of life in metro Atlanta, I know they will soon become our neighbors as well.”

Johns Creek Technology Park attracts specific industries representing a cross section of healthcare, insurance and technology companies, which is aligned with Ebix’s core business of powering technology solutions for insurance companies and financial institutions.

Not only does the Johns Creek location put Ebix in the center of its client base, but the location also provides key amenities and a wide-range of residential options, excellent schools and other family-friendly options for Ebix employees.

The new location provides business advantages that Ebix will benefit from including, proximity to a well-educated workforce, a diverse economy, close proximity to the world’s busiest airport, close proximity to the ninth largest U.S. market, a supportive local government, strong public schools, world-class medical facilities and Johns Creek Economic Development Corp.

“We know this strategic move to Johns Creek will be a catalyst in the growth of our company and we couldn’t be more excited to begin working out of our new headquarters in early 2015,“ said Darren Joseph, Ebix corporate vice president. “Not only is this a good business decision for our clients, but we believe our employees will enjoy the new corporate campus and community as well.”

Inspired by the remarkable success of Technology Park/Atlanta, Johns Creek was originally developed in 1981 as 2,000 acres of upscale architecture-meets-park-like-setting. The business park is a mixed-use environment with a sought-after location and amenities.

“Ebix has selected an excellent location that is going to add value to their day-to-day operations as well as the quality of life for their employees,” noted Courtney Bernardi, CEO of Johns Creek Advantage, the city’s economic development corporation.

CBRE is the commercial real estate firm that represents the seller and Cresa is the real estate brokerage firm on behalf of Ebix.
