Paragon Commercial Real Estate

What Paragon Commercial Real Estate does

Paragon Commercial Real Estate is a Texas-based limited liability company headquartered in Irving, in the Las Colinas submarket, that provides commercial real estate consulting with a specialization in site selection and location intelligence. Founded on August 4, 2004, the firm serves clients across the petroleum and petrochemical, industrial, retail, and office sectors, with a pronounced emphasis on Gulf Coast geographies spanning Texas and Louisiana, including Louisiana Parishes and Texas/Louisiana port-adjacent markets. Its advisory work is distinguished by deep regional relationships with port authorities, parish officials, and industrial stakeholders accumulated over more than two decades.

Between 2018 and 2021, Paragon transitioned from a traditional brokerage representation model to a project-based consulting model, positioning itself as a conflict-free advisor rather than a transactional intermediary. The firm operates on project-based fees tied to site selection engagements and related advisory work, with cumulative closed transaction volume exceeding $800M in industrial land sales and $100M in lease value over its operating history. Its professional affiliations include the Urban Land Institute (ULI) and NAIOP, and it has been recognized in industry rankings including the VEGAS INC Top CRE Brokerages list (2008-2018) and the Las Vegas Sun Who's Who (2008-2009), indicating an operational footprint that extended beyond Texas earlier in its history.

The firm operates as a small practice with a headcount in the 1-10 range, with no publicly disclosed revenue, funding, or M&A activity. Its competitive position rests on principal-led expertise, entrenched Gulf Coast relationships, and a consulting model that avoids the commission-driven conflicts of traditional brokerage, rather than on proprietary technology, data platforms, or scaled headcount.

Broad incumbents

Comparable as an enterprise-scale provider of the same buyer/tenant-representation and location-intelligence services Paragon offers.
• NAI Global: Global commercial real estate brokerage network with industrial, office, and tenant-representation services delivered through regional member firms. Comparable network incumbent operating in adjacent space to Paragon's regional industrial site-selection practice.

Comparable niche competitor focused on occupier-side industrial site selection, overlapping directly with Paragon's industrial and petrochemical practice.
• Site Selection Group: Boutique corporate site-selection consulting firm focused exclusively on representing occupiers (buyer/tenant representation) for industrial, office, and healthcare facilities.
