Tile headquarters moves to Morgan Hill

Tile headquarters moves to Morgan Hill

By Brittney Sherman

San Jose based wholesale tile company MIR Mosaic recently purchased a 90k SF building at Butterfield 5 Tech Park. The company will relocate its headquarters to Morgan Hill, expanding their footprint by 25k SF and adding 15 additional jobs to their existing 65-employee headcount. MIR Mosaic will join three other companies operating in the Butterfield 5 Tech Park: Pinnacle Exhibits, Daikin HVAC, and Rudolph and Sletten. Two buildings in the Tech Park remain vacant, Building #4 at 91, 738 SF and Building #5 at 70,305 SF, and are available for sale or lease. The relocation of the company's headquarters, showroom, and warehouse operations to Morgan Hill represents a significant long-term investment in the community and further strengthens the City's growing industrial sector.

MIR Mosaic is a leading designer, importer, and wholesale distributor of premium decorative tile products serving more than 1,800 dealers and showrooms throughout the United States and Canada. Learn more about MIR Mosaic.

1Q2023 sales tax

1Q2023 sales tax

By Brittney Sherman

The first quarter 2023 sales tax results showed minimal growth for Santa Clara County (+0.2%) and reductions for the City of Morgan Hill (-1.1%) and California statewide (-1.1%). When compared to first quarter 2022, Morgan Hill’s Autos and Transportation State and County Pools, and Restaurant and Hotel industry groups all experienced growth, while it’s Fuel and Service Station, Business and Industry, and Building and Construction groups showed losses. Significant nationwide decreases in the price of gas (20%) and the price of lumber (60%), in addition to a decline in citywide electronic sales, are the main factors behind the City’s negative first quarter sales tax results. However, the top 25 sales tax generating businesses citywide continue to be largely represented by auto dealers, big box retailers, grocery stores, and gas stations.

Statewide, California sales tax results for the 2022/2023 fiscal year are projected to yield a 2.2% growth, where it’s 2023/2024 fiscal year is projecting a 0.7% decrease.
