Mungo Homes has begun construction on its new company headquarters.

To sit adjacent to the current campus at 441 Western Lane in Irmo, the $10 million, state-of-the-art 20,250 square foot building will allow for the addition of some 40 new jobs meeting requirements to receive Job Development credits along with a State of South Carolina Grant, according to a Mungo Homes news release.

The facility will house marketing, human resources, information technology, accounting, purchasing and customer service teams.

“Even though our footprint has expanded to four states, this company was ‘born’ in Irmo so it’s important to us to remain headquartered in our home community,” Steven Mungo, CEO of Mungo Homes, said in a prior release. “We just appreciate the support from the Department of Commerce along with Richland County to help make this project a reality, and we look forward to providing our team members with an updated work environment that mirrors the innovation and thoughtfulness we put into our homes.”

Established in Columbia in 1954, Mungo Homes is part of Berkshire-Hathaway Inc. and works in markets throughout the Carolinas, Georgia and Virginia. The company expects to complete this project in late 2024 or early 2025.
