support center will double. The building is expected to open in January 2019.
“Among its amenities will be a larger gym, a cafe and a courtyard between the first building and the new one,” an announcement Wednesday said.
Movement, which previously reported a company-wide staff of 4,279 as of Sept. 30, said it will hire 700 new employees at its headquarters during the next five years.

“Relationships matter and proximity matters,” Movement Mortgage Chief Executive Officer Casey Crawford said in the statement. “When we get team members face-to-face at the same location, we see exponential productivity. Despite a contracting mortgage market, we’ve continued to take market share across the United States and we plan on continuing to grow in 2018 and well into the future.”
