Customer retail management company Stream Global Services on Tuesday announced plans to relocate its local service center from Beaverton to Wilsonville.

The company will begin moving into the new facility in mid-summer and expects to complete the move by late September.

The lease on the company's current 93,000 square foot building expires at the end of the year, according to a company press release. The company plans to expand to the 120,000-square-foot building at 9275 Southwest Peyton Lane, which was formerly a Hollywood Video headquarters.

The new facility is one of the six properties identified for tax breaks under Measure 3-421, which Wilsonville voters overwhelmingly supported in a March 12 special election. However, Stream does not appear to qualify for the incentives, said Wilsonville public affairs director Mark Ottenad, as they were designed for manufacturers.

Stream spokesman Joe Thornton said the new facility allows the company the space to take on new clients. In addition, the space will provide new amenities for employees, including more training rooms, a new employee lounge and gaming area, individual employee lockers and new workstations.

Current employees will be able to retain their positions following the move, according to a press release. Thornton estimated the company employs more than 1,000.

"We will work closely with our employees during the transition to minimize disruptions and make them aware of options including public transit, convenient commuting along the I-5 corridor and ample parking," said site operations director Jillene Jensen in a release.

Ottenad said the company was looking to relocate when a real estate broker familiar with Wilsonville suggested the former Hollywood Video building. The company is working with the city to modify parking access and other parts of the building.

The company began operations in Beaverton in 1993 and provides customer management services, including sales, customer care and technical support for clients in video gaming, retail and financial services.
