Silicon Valley Tech Firm Sets Up Beachhead In Tempe

More tech is coming to Tempe: Palo Alto-based Houzz, a home remodeling and design platform, will open a sales and client services office in Hayden Ferry Lakeside I. The company didn't specify how much space it will eventually take, but within two years, 150 employees will work at the office, the Phoenix Business Journal reports.

In 2015, Houzz drove $3.2B in gross revenue to pros on the platform. [PBJ]
