Founded in 1988, The Simpson Organization (TSO) is a privately held real estate investment firm headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. The company began acquiring real estate assets as a principal in 1990, with its portfolio expanding significantly from the mid-1990s onward. TSO’s investment strategy centers on acquiring and managing neighborhood and specialty retail centers, multi-tenant office buildings, and urban land, primarily located in the Southeastern United States. The firm operates with capital sourced from high-net-worth individuals, its own equity, and commercial debt from both local and national institutions.
TSO’s core business focus is value-add and opportunistic real estate investment, with a preference for assets that offer repositioning or redevelopment potential. The company targets urban infill locations and high-traffic corridors, often in markets with strong demographic trends and economic growth. Asset classes of interest include retail, office, and land for future development.
The organization maintains a concentrated geographic footprint, with a significant portion of its holdings located in Atlanta, Charlotte, and Nashville. TSO’s tenant base includes national and regional retailers, professional services firms, and healthcare providers. While the company does not publicly disclose detailed tenant concentration metrics, Amazon, CVS, and Wells Fargo are among its top rent contributors, collectively accounting for an estimated 12–15% of net effective rent (NER).
TSO is led by founder Boyd Simpson and a senior team with deep expertise in asset management, leasing, and capital markets. The firm continues to pursue acquisitions selectively, with recent activity focused on retail centers and mixed-use redevelopment sites in Georgia and Tennessee.
