Subaru of America, Inc. is expanding its presence and moving its Central Region offices to North Texas.
On May 20, Subaru announced plans to relocate its central region office from Itasca, Illinois to an existing distribution and training facility in Coppell as part of a 200,000 square foot expansion. For the expansion, Subaru is partnering with Prologis, a global logistics real estate company, and expects renovations to be completed by the end of 2024, with move-in possible early next year.
Approximately 30,000 square feet of the expanded building will be dedicated to the company’s central region sales and marketing operations. The 500,600 square foot facility will also include a new Dallas Business Center. The Dallas Business Center will serve as the second location for Subaru’s customer advocacy division, with an estimated 100 employees, making it one of the company’s largest locations next to its Camden, New Jersey location.
The renovation project also includes a 170,000-square-foot expansion of the automaker’s existing regional distribution center, which handles and stores auto parts and accessories, as well as adding classrooms for a Quality and Service Area Training Center to train technicians and field service personnel.
“We are excited to expand our footprint and capabilities in the southern United States to further support our customers and retail network,” Jeff Walters, Subaru’s president and chief operating officer, said in a statement. “It is a vibrant region that will continue to attract a diverse range of talented people.” We will add new perspectives and further strengthen our corporate culture. ”
