Willbanks is purchasing the largest of 3 buildings being developed and constructed by Adkisson Development. They will consolidate Houston operations currently located on Stillwell St. and Northdale St. The new facility will support the companies’ recent growth by doubling its square footage in Houston. Completion is scheduled for mid-2018 and will be home to Willbanks and Associates Inc., Willbanks Contractor Support LLC, and Boiler Management Ltd. (The Teal System).
When the new 35,000-square foot tilt wall structure opens, it will provide the workspace for all Houston based office, warehouse, shop employees, and local field staff. The office is designed in anticipation of continued growth and will easily accommodate a 50% expansion of staff. The facility will include approximately 15,000 feet of office, classroom and demonstration-lab space with an additional 20,000 feet designated to a high bay warehouse and fabrication shop. The company plans to use the new classroom and lab space to host continuing education and training for the plumbing and HVAC industry.
The new headquarters will support the companies’ satellite operations in Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Atlanta, and Denver.
Founded in 1977, Willbanks and Associates Inc. and Willbanks Contractor Support LLC, provide equipment and support to plumbing and HVAC industry contractors and engineering firms. Willbanks and Associates was recognized in 2016 by Inc. 5000 (fastest growing companies in the United States) and Houston Business Journal’s Fast 100 (fastest growing companies in Houston).
Boiler Management Ltd. is best known for its Teal System brand which provides innovative “cloud based” hot water to the apartment, condominium, and hotel industries.
