“Hallmark Floors is proud to announce our expansion into the Houston Market with the addition of a 170,476-square-foot warehouse and office facility,” said Tony Pan, chairman of Hallmark Floors, Inc. “Ideally located near the Port of Houston, we will be able to better serve our distributors and dealers east of the Rockies. We appreciate how welcoming the City of Houston and the Port of Houston Authority have been in helping us get underway—we look forward to our future here.”

“With this year’s economic changes, companies are taking a closer look at their supply chains and this front-load distribution center represented a strategic opportunity to be closer to consumers and manufacturing locations,” said Wynne. “Vigavi developed the distribution center recognizing a strong user demand for high-quality industrial assets in the Houston market.”
