Showrooms 2220 is one of the largest antique and design centers in the United States housing prestigious domestic and international antique dealers as well as design professionals. The center encompasses more than 100,000 square feet of renovated industrial space both fully sprinklered and with state of the art security. Housed in a 19th century brick and timber warehouse with interesting architectural details, Showrooms 2220 will provide the perfect backdrop to showcase antiques and design. |
The platform has been thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of antique and design professionals and offers an eclectic mix of furniture and decorative arts spanning the 18th Century to the present. Shop from the comfort of your home or visit our Philadelphia showrooms.
Showrooms 2220 was created after interviewing countless antique and design professionals. What we learned is summarized below:
• Dealers are being squeezed out of major metropolitan markets due to exorbitant rental rates for store fronts. Many dealers report that up to 80% of their sales are now online and know that they would see an increase in net profits by simply moving to a lower cost venue.
• Some dealers expressed an interest in increasing their market exposure with a second location, especially one within 90 miles of New York City.
• With real estate values sky rocketing, antique dealers owning their own buildings realize it would be far more profitable for them to sell or rent their property and relocate their business in a lower cost venue.
• Whether approaching retirement age or simply looking for more leisure time, many antique dealers expressed an interest in simplifying their businesses and having the freedom not to “sit shop” five days a week.
With this information in mind, we created Showrooms 2220.
