It’s not often a roofing materials distributor gets to design a new location and build it from scratch. In most cases, distributors lease existing warehouse space and retrofit or modify the building and site to meet their needs. When ABC Supply Co., Inc. recently decided to relocate one of the company’s six branches in the Houston metropolitan area, a resurgent real estate market meant existing warehouse space just wasn’t available. When it was determined that the best option to accommodate the branch’s growth was to build a new facility, the company embraced the opportunity to design it to better serve the needs of its diverse customer base.

The result is a 95,000-square-foot structure on seven acres that opened its doors in May. Located at 250 Century Plaza in Houston, the branch is one of the company’s largest, and it has customers and employees alike singing its praises.
