Massey Services has moved into a new headquarters in the city of Orlando. The new offices are adjacent to the company's flagship complex which houses four service centers and a training center and is located on the site of the original business that Massey purchased 23 years ago.
“We’ve been planning for this for over three years,” said Harvey Massey, chairman and CEO of Massey Services. “We had significantly outgrown our Maitland office so this is a most welcome occasion.”

Harvey Massey purchased Walker Chemical and Exterminating Company of Orlando in February 1985. After turning the facility into Orlando’s first Massey Service Center, the Corporate Office relocated to rented space in Maitland Center. In 1998, the company moved to a 17,600 square foot facility where it had been situated for 10 years until moving into the new building in July 2008.
The existing two-story building was purchased in 2004 and construction of the new five story tower, which is attached at the west side of the original building, began in July 2007. Additionally, the exterior of the original building was renovated to match the design of the new tower. The new building has offices on four of the five floors, with parking and a reception lobby situated on the ground floor. The address of the new 39,000 square foot building is 315 Groveland Street, Orlando, FL 32804. Massey Services employs 135 team members at the corporate facility, and more than 770 company-wide.
Massey Communications, the public relations and advertising agency purchased by Harvey Massey in 1997, will also be housed in the new facility.
The new headquarters tower was designed by Powell Design Group and built by Brassfield & Gorrie. Interior finishing was handled by Harkins Development. The new building incorporates several “green” features which include automated light switches with sensors that turn on and off automatically and a programmable AC unit that is set to adjust thermostats at the end of the day to conserve energy.
“I’m especially happy for our people,” said Harvey Massey. “As a result of our incredible growth, we needed additional space to accommodate our increased staff.”
