Build.com expands in Chico
Local ecommerce firm opens tech hub by Meriam Park
Locally founded Build.com has expanded its presence by opening a second facility in Chico, a tech hub on East 20th Street.
The home improvement e-commerce company remodeled the 8,780-square-foot building previously occupied by United Healthcare to accommodate 70 employees. It’s located by Meriam Park, which the firm said in a news release “will soon bring a thriving new technology community nearby.” The facility—closed to the public—opened on Monday (Sept. 3).
The company has expanded numerous times since its founding in 2000. Its 51,585-square-foot Otterson Drive headquarters houses over 600 employees.
