Case Study: Arijai Aesthetics – Expanding to San Antonio

Client: Dr. Christopher Balgobin, Founder of Arijai Aesthetics
Location: San Antonio, Texas (Near the Quarry)
Transaction: Medical Office Lease
Property Size: ±4,481 SF
Timeline: Remote search to lease execution

Overview

Dr. Christopher Balgobin, founder of Arijai Aesthetics, set out to open a third location in San Antonio. The market was chosen for both its business potential and proximity to family. With practices already operating in Minnesota and Florida, he needed a centrally located, second-generation medical space that reflected his brand’s upscale image and met procedural requirements.

Challenge

As an out-of-state operator, Dr. B had limited time in San Antonio. Remote coordination was critical. He also required a near turn-key medical office — a rarity in high-income trade areas.

Solution

I conducted a targeted search, presenting only high-quality options. During Dr. B’s visit, we toured the top contenders, leading to a lease in a professional medical building near the Quarry.

Unexpected Opportunity

After signing, a larger adjacent suite became available in the same building. It aligned better with Dr. B’s long-term vision. By reopening negotiations and maintaining strong landlord communication, we amended the lease and secured the ±4,481 SF space — all before move-in.

Outcome

Arijai Aesthetics is now thriving in its San Antonio location. The space delivers the brand presence, accessibility, and demographic profile Dr. B sought, positioning the practice for long-term success in a competitive market.
