Exciting News from Irmo: Mungo Homes Unveils New Headquarters
Hey there, Irmo! Some truly exciting news just rolled into our town. Mungo Homes, a well-known player in the homebuilding industry, has officially completed its new corporate headquarters, and it looks fantastic! This fresh building, which cost about $10 million, spans an impressive 20,250 square feet and offers an innovative working environment designed with the team’s needs in mind.
A New Space to Thrive
If you’ve driven by the Mungo Homes site recently, you might have noticed the buzz around the new headquarters. Located right next to their former office—which is currently getting a makeover—this new building is more than just a pretty face. According to CEO Steven Mungo, this modern workspace was created with thoughtful details that enhance collaboration and social interaction among employees. “It’s been a joy to watch everyone settle in so quickly and enjoy gathering in spaces we envisioned for folks to collaborate and just enjoy lunch together,” he said in a recent statement.
Looking Ahead
The completion of this innovative headquarters is just the beginning. The adjacent former headquarters is undergoing significant renovations, set to finish by late March 2025. Mungo expressed excitement about not only their new digs but also the broader campus renovations. “This new headquarters is a testament to the longevity and stability of Mungo Homes, and to our commitment to our community that has enabled our success,” he added.
Job Opportunities on the Horizon
There’s more good news for the Irmo area! The new building is expected to create around 40 new jobs, which is great for the local economy. Mungo Homes has even qualified for Job Development credits and received a State of South Carolina grant in support of this growth. It’s a win-win situation—more jobs for locals and an opportunity for the company to expand its workforce.
A Rich Legacy
For those unfamiliar with the Mungo Homes story, it’s quite inspiring. The Mungo family has deep roots in the homebuilding industry, starting their journey way back in 1954 in Columbia. Now, they operate in ten different markets across South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia. You could say they know a thing or two about building homes that families love!
Even though Mungo Homes has transitioned into a part of the Berkshire Hathaway family since 2018, they remain tightly knit, family-operated. In 2023, they sold over 3,800 homes and reported revenues exceeding $1.4 billion. Talk about success! They even have plans to expand into the Charlotte market by late 2024. That’s ambitious growth, and it’s exciting to see what’s on the horizon.
The Community Connection
Mungo Homes isn’t just about building houses; it’s about nurturing community ties. With their commitment to creating jobs and their focus on innovative building designs, they’ve established themselves as a beloved institution here in Irmo. It’s evident that they’re dedicated not only to their craft but also to the people who call this community home.
In Conclusion
As we look forward to seeing how the renovations of the former headquarters turn out next year, let’s take a moment to appreciate this modern new building that Mungo Homes has brought to our community. It’s a sign of good things to come for Irmo—full of opportunities and collaboration. Here’s to the Mungo Homes team, the exciting changes ahead, and the roles they will play in enhancing our beloved town!
