National residential window replacement company plans new location in Pleasant Grove

PLEASANT GROVE, UT – Performance Windows, a national residential window replacement company currently operating in seven states, has chosen Valley Grove, a mixed-use business community developed by St. John Properties, Inc., as the site of its new corporate headquarters. The group which employs more than 160 salespeople serving 12 national offices, signed a lease for 7,957 square feet of space within the 130-acre development in Pleasant Grove, Utah. Scott Gifford, Assistant Vice President of Leasing for St. John Properties represented the landlord, and Dave Clough of 21-Everest Commercial represented the tenant in this transaction.

According to Levi Henrie, CEO of Performance Windows, the new corporate office, at 2100 W. Pleasant Grove Boulevard, will house executive and management-level personnel and administrative staff to support the company’s national sales team, which continues to grow.

“The aesthetics and location of a corporate office is a significant factor when it comes to recruiting and retaining talent, so we view Valley Grove as a competitive advantage given its upscale appearance and central location in Utah County,” stated Henrie. “When touring the business community, we were struck by the on-site amenities including multiple food options, as well as the overall energy throughout the area. Employees spend considerable time in their work setting, so it is important to offer an environment that keeps them motivated and energized.”
