The company would commit to building a corporate regional headquarters and an advanced manufacturing plant producing commercial and residential windows and doors.

The potential tax abatement agreement is set to go before the Mansfield City Council during its meeting on Dec. 12. Details of the agreement weren’t listed in the meeting agenda.

Mansfield is triangulated south of Dallas and Fort Worth, stradling Tarrant, Ellis and Johnson counties.


In September, the City of Mansfield received a proposal for a $50 million multifamily project. Though it was expected to break ground in October, the mystery developer has yet to be revealed. Overall, the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex is the undisputed leader in industrial construction with nearly 67 million square feet of industrial space under construction in October.
