Avanti Windows & Doors is an award-winning corporate headquarters designed for a prominent manufacturer in the Valley. This project was honored with the Office Project of the Year award at the 2024 RED Awards, presented by AZ Big Media.
Avanti Windows & Doors is a top vinyl window and door systems manufacturer and installer in the Southwest. Founded in 2014, this local company is known for its innovation in window installation through AIM – The Avanti Install Method. Their commitment revolves around the pillars of Product, Process, and People, earning them the 2018 Dealer of the Year Award from Window & Door Magazine for Excellence in Installation.
The facility represents an exciting new chapter for the company. This 303,419 SF building is the company’s headquarters, manufacturing facility, and field installation operations center. The 32- acre site is designed to accommodate a single-story, 24’ clear building, parking for 610 spaces for manufacturing in several shifts, truck maneuvering, and over 3.5 acres of surface retention. The building includes 33,000 SF of office and administration spaces, 166,000 SF of manufacturing space, and 104,000 SF of distribution and storage space. There is also enough site area for an additional 200,000 SF building in the future.
Internally, the project features new and innovative spaces that foster collaboration and enhance staff morale with a renewed esprit de corps. These spaces include human resources, customer service, strategic planning hubs, and a cafeteria with amenities that open onto a generous training room on one side and an exterior covered patio on the other. Ultimately, the facility is designed to support an output of 5,000 windows and doors daily in several shifts.
In alignment with its community-centric vision, Avanti selected a location to minimize commute times for valley-wide employees and offer significant career development opportunities for their manufacturing, installation, and support teams. Beyond job numbers, the facility serves as a flagship model for industry workforce development, contributing to national housing demand efforts. Avanti’s expansion demonstrates its commitment to both employee growth and community support.
