High-end contemporary furnishings vendor Phillips Collection is moving its High Point headquarters to the former Rose Furniture building on Business I-85.

Expansion of Phillips' award-winning Origins Collection and the need for more hybrid showroom/warehouse space necessitated a move to the new 166,000-square-foot facility. The building once was home to furniture retailer Rose Furniture, which closed three years ago, and Phillips Collection's occupancy will fill a highly visible vacancy in High Point.

"This is logical and exciting for us," said Mark Phillips, CEO of Phillips Collection. "We have been admiring the former Rose Furniture building ever since moving to High Point from New York back in 2001. What a dream it is to have purchased this facility. We plan to be fully moved in and operational by the end of October. The new office and warehouse underscores our commitment to High Point and our intention to expand in our industry."

The new facility at 916 Finch Ave. allows Phillips Collection to dramatically expand existing operations and still have abundant space and resources available for complementary partners. Phillips Collection has been in touch with local, national and international colleges and universities who are excited at the prospect of having a footprint in such a design-centric community such as High Point.

This new home for Phillips Collection was selected because of its location and its warehouse size, which will translate into improved logistics and ease of access for customers and associates. Phillips Collection's former headquarters location was on East Kivett Drive.
