United States. The Dallas-Fort Worth region, in what appears to be the heart of the commercial real estate boom in the United States, now has another big player joining the mix. Mitsubishi Electric US Inc. has announced the grand opening of its new office for the refrigeration and heating and elevator and escalator divisions.
According to the Dallas Morning News, a new report from Dodge Data & Analytics found that North Texas construction hit record highs in 2016, with nearly $21 billion in new construction. This puts Dallas-Fort Worth in second place behind New York City in the total beginnings of construction.
For the cooling and heating division, the new location will be a training center – the eighth for Mitsubishi Electric cooling and heating and one of more than 40 supplier training centers. For the Elevator and Climbers Division, this location will be a new branch – the division's ninth location nationwide.
"With Mitsubishi Electric's strong leadership position in the cooling and heating and elevator and escalator markets, this opening was strategic to take a more active role in this region's commercial, multifamily and residential growth potential," says Mark Kuntz, deputy general manager, Mitsubishi Electric, Cooling and Heating Division. "For the Cooling and Heating Division, this new office will be a major training center for HVAC engineers and contractors, as well as commercial and residential architects. This offers our customers the opportunity to experience first-hand the benefits of our innovative ductless variable refrigerant flow cooling and heating systems."
