HPMA Organizer’s Headquarters to Relocate in 2027

The High Point Market Authority (HPMA) announces plans to relocate the official trade show organizer’s headquarters to 115 S. Hamilton St. in 2027.

With construction imminent at this address, the new building will be owned and operated by Hamilton Global, LLC, and situated between the Universal Furniture and Violino exhibitor showrooms, one block north of the Market Transportation Terminal on Commerce Ave.

HPMA has signed a lease to occupy the 21,000 square-foot third floor, growing the organization’s present footprint and visibility. It has occupied the seventh floor of the Historic Radio Building at 164 S. Main St. since 2011. “The expanded location gives HPMA the opportunity to consolidate and reimagine guest services that are currently spread out in the downtown area,” says Tammy Covington, HPMA president and CEO. “It will be the third site for HPMA since the organization’s founding in 2001, and a reflection of our focus on thoughtful and strategic growth.”

“With the new building and its prominent location, we’re additionally excited to attain greater visibility for HPMA and the extensive role it plays in shaping the High Point Market experience for approximately 75,000 guests each season,” says Christi Barbour, HPMA board president.

High Point Market is the world’s largest home furnishings trade show and a significant contributor to the state and local economies, generating approximately $6.7 billion in annual economic impact, including $200 million in state and local taxes and support for over 42,000 jobs.
