An Atlanta-based security technology firm is expanding its headquarters and flocking its employees to a larger location near Midtown.

Flock Safety inked a 35K SF lease at The Medici, a six-story, 159K SF office building off Northside Parkway on the Westside of Atlanta, co-founder Paige Todd confirmed to Bisnow. Piedmont Realty Trust filed permits earlier this month with the city of Atlanta’s planning department to prepare space for Flock Safety.

The firm — which makes solar-powered license plate-reading cameras for law enforcement and neighborhood groups — will move from its current 14K SF headquarters at the mixed-use Westside Provisions District on Howell Mill Road, Todd said.

“We’ve enjoyed the Westside of Atlanta but have outgrown it for our needs,” she said.

Todd said the company saw The Medici as an ideal location that is central to both its 200 HQ employees and its parade of customers — mainly in law enforcement — who visit to see equipment demonstrations.

The new headquarters will be designed with no cubicles and few, if any, assigned offices. Instead, it will have many breakout rooms as well as spaces designed for private meetings and phone calls, Todd said. The firm will have an outdoor courtyard to try out its products.

“We expect with the new space we can welcome 150 employees at any one time,” she said.

Todd said she felt the firm needed to more than double its headquarters size even though employees are allowed to work remotely full time. That “remote-first culture” Flock Safety has instituted helped it recruit and hire some 1,000 employees last year during its growth spurt.

“There’s a part of me that goes, ‘We’re going to spend the money on the space, so let’s get the employees back as much as possible,’” she said. “While I want to get the flexibility, I think it's hard to debate that you get good results with time together.”

Capital Real Estate Group CEO John Thornton and President Bennett Gottlieb represented Flock Safety, while CBRE Executive Vice President Eric Ross and Vice President Graham Little represented The Medici’s landlord, Piedmont Realty Trust.

After being founded in 2017, Flock Safety moved to Westside Provisions in 2021 during a spurt of growth, the Atlanta Business Chronicle reported.

In 2025, Flock Safety raised $275M in investment dollars with venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, catapulting the company’s valuation to more than $7.5B, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. Its crime-fighting technology includes gunshot detectors, drones and artificial intelligence-powered video cameras.

The firm works with more than 4,800 law enforcement agencies across the U.S. as well as private businesses and neighborhood watch groups, according to the AJC.

Flock Safety co-founder and CEO Garrett Langley told the AJC the company earned $300M in annual recurring revenues last year and now employs more than 1,300 people. It also plans to open a 100K SF drone-making facility in Metro Atlanta, according to the AJC.
