Just because MDCM is in QP doesn't mean we have to be :-) Found this older press release that has some significant news. I am finding out this new office is in my backyard and will be driving by tomorrow. This area is in a very prominent business park.
mortgage.com Expands to New Office Facility
PLANTATION, Florida, June 30, 1999 - mortgage.com , a pioneer and leader of electronic commerce solutions for the residential real estate industry, today announced it has signed a lease for approximately 100,000 square feet of office space in Sunrise, Florida. Located a few miles away from where the Company first started its operations five years ago with eight staff members, the new facility has the capacity to hold more than 1,000 employees. The new building, which is located at 1643 North Harrison Parkway, Sunrise, FL (Highwoods Park at Sawgrass) will bring together employees from mortgage.com's three existing South Florida locations and will house the Company's current Florida workforce base of 450 employees.
"We are excited about the new office space and look forward to bringing together all of our business operations under one roof," said Seth Werner, chairman and CEO, mortgage.com. "With the acquisition of American Finance and Investment (AFI) in April of last year, we added 60 employees to our Florida offices, and, therefore, had to lease additional space to house our call center operations and training facilities in a different location. Now we can bring our operations together into one office building, and have extra space to grow." Through its Web site - www.mortgage.com, mortgage.com allows borrowers to quickly and easily submit applications online and shop for the best rates from over 150 loan products. The company also offers its services to business clients such as mortgage brokers, mortgage banks, Realtors and homebuilders, including Arvida and Keyes in South Florida, and Century 21/Contempo and Coldwell Banker in Northern California. mortgage.com currently has three operating centers in the Plantation area having grown out of the headquarters on South Pine Island Boulevard. Employees from each of those locations will come together in the new facility in November 1999.
