Coldwell BankerHeritage is consolidating two of its offices into a new Washington Twp. location that will allow it to grow in its 50th year as a company.
The firm will close two of its offices near the Dayton Mall and in Centerville when the leases run out, and willmove into a new 10,000-square-feet office being built out in the Galleria Building at 8534 Yankee St.
The 64,000-square-foot buildingwill be renamed the Coldwell Banker Building and will hold 65 Coldwell Banker employees in the leased office space, according to Ron Sweeney, managing partner.
“Themove will allowus to grow more agents, give our existing agents anofficethat better fits their needs allwhile taking care of our clients’ needs, “Sweeney said.
Coldwell Banker Heritage has 365 agents in the Dayton area in nine sales offices, the most the company has had in its 50 years. Sweeney said he believes that number will grow.
“The past two years have been some of the best for the company. If we can get more inventory in the market, I expect our growth to continue,” Sweeney said.
