DMC to Double Trade Mart Building Size

Dallas — The Dallas Market Center will add 500,000 square feet to its Trade Mart building, providing expanded showroom space for the lighting industry. The $21 million project will add four floors to the Trade Mart adjacent to Harry Hines Blvd. The top two floors will be built as showrooms contiguous to the current lighting areas of the building. The two lower flowers will be used for parking, but will be convertible to showroom space as demand requires. “Dallas Market Center is committed to the sustained growth of what is already the largest concentration of lighting resources in the world,” said DMC chief executive Bill Winsor. “By responding to requests for additional showroom space, we will double our lighting marketplace, offering our loyal buyers unmatched resources from the leading manufacturers.” A groundbreaking celebration took place in the Trade Mart atrium on June 24; the new addition will open in January 2007.
