OVERVIEW
As Sprouts Farmers Market continued its growth, the company recognized the opportunity to create a new corporate headquarters that would better support its long-term business objectives, strengthen talent attraction and retention, and reflect its evolving brand and culture.
Sprouts partnered with Keyser to identify and secure the ideal headquarters location in North Scottsdale, Arizona. The assignment required far more than finding available real estate. It demanded a comprehensive market strategy capable of uncovering opportunities beyond publicly listed inventory while aligning location, development, timing, and cost with the company’s long-term vision.
Through a proactive site selection process, strategic negotiations, and comprehensive project management, Keyser successfully delivered a customized build-to-suit headquarters that positions Sprouts for continued growth in one of Arizona’s premier corporate corridors.

The Challenge
Relocating a corporate headquarters requires balancing operational, financial, and strategic priorities while maintaining business continuity throughout the process.
For Sprouts, the project presented several unique challenges:
Identify a premier headquarters location within the highly competitive North Scottsdale submarket
Navigate limited availability of large-scale, high-quality sites capable of supporting a corporate headquarters
Develop a build-to-suit solution aligned with Sprouts’ operational requirements, culture, and long-term vision
Position the company within North Scottsdale’s growing concentration of prominent corporate headquarters
Identify opportunities beyond traditional listed inventory
Coordinate multiple stakeholders while maintaining project schedule, budget, and strategic objectives

Keyser’s Strategy
Rather than limiting the search to publicly marketed properties, Keyser implemented a proactive, market-wide strategy designed to identify every viable opportunity within the target area.
The team conducted a parcel-by-parcel evaluation throughout North Scottsdale, engaging directly with property owners to uncover both on-market and off-market opportunities. By expanding the search beyond conventional listings and evaluating multiple development scenarios, Keyser created competition and significantly expanded Sprouts’ available options.
After identifying the optimal location, Keyser structured a customized build-to-suit solution tailored to Sprouts’ long-term operational needs while leading negotiations and coordinating the many stakeholders involved throughout the transaction, development, and implementation process.
Key initiatives included:
Comprehensive parcel-by-parcel market analysis
Engaging with property owners to uncover additional development sites
Identifying both listed and off-market opportunities
Evaluating multiple site selection and development scenarios
Creating competitive leverage throughout negotiations
Structuring a customized build-to-suit solution

Keyser successfully relocated Sprouts Farmers Market’s corporate headquarters to a premier North Scottsdale location designed to support the company’s future growth and operational objectives.
The customized headquarters provides a workplace that aligns with Sprouts’ culture, enhances employee experience, and positions the organization within one of Arizona’s most desirable corporate environments.
By expanding the search beyond traditional market opportunities and maintaining alignment throughout every phase of the project, Keyser delivered a solution that maximized flexibility, strengthened negotiating leverage, and achieved an exceptional business outcome.
Project highlights include:
Successfully relocated Sprouts’ corporate headquarters to North Scottsdale
Delivered a customized build-to-suit headquarters aligned with the company’s long-term vision
