STATE-OF-THE-ART CAMPUS CONSOLIDATES OPERATIONS JUST MINUTES FROM D/FW INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Heritage Auctions has moved its global headquarters to a 160,000-square-foot facility and multi-purpose campus, befitting its status as the largest auction house founded in America.
Heritage global headquarters is now adjacent to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and sits in its foreign trade zone. The new campus is less than 30 minutes from both downtown Dallas and Fort Worth, and is twice the size of Heritage’s previous home at 3500 Maple Ave. It consolidates its three separate Dallas locations under a single roof, a single-story complex spanning the length of nearly three football fields. All department and staff phone numbers remain the same.
The new headquarters features an 8,000-square-foot gallery showroom for invitational art exhibitions and events, such as collectibles shows.
Nearly 450 of Heritage’s more than 600 employees will occupy the new headquarters.
“We are excited to now be in the middle of Dallas-Fort Worth near one of the world’s largest airports,” says Heritage CEO and Co-Founder Steve Ivy. “This location and facility will better serve all of our clients, including bidders and consignors who visit our showrooms or consign with us.”

In the works for more than a year, the consolidation is the most significant expansion in the firm’s history. Heritage is already renown as the world’s largest collectibles auction house – a global leader in coins, comic books, sports and entertainment memorabilia, among 40 categories. In recent years, the company has made dramatic and significant expansions into fine art, fine and rare jewelry and timepieces, luxury handbags, rare wines, and historic nature and science artifacts. The move to the expansive facility increases operational efficiencies and allows Heritage to better serve its more than 1 million clients.
