North Carolina-based Redeye Worldwide is relocating to Hillsborough in May.

The music company announced the move on Wednesday.

Redeye, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2016, is moving to a 90,000 square foot facility at 505 Eno Street.

Redeye says the new space will serve as “offices for 51 of the company’s 67 worldwide employees and warehouse space for hundreds of labels, including Acony Records, Barsuk, Burger Records, Daptone, Kill Rock Stars, Ninja Tune, Warp and Yep Roc Records, as well as artists including Death Cab for Cutie, Iris Dement, Nick Lowe, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, and Gillian Welch.”

Redeye Chief Operating Officer Aaron Freeman said in a release:

“We are excited to move our headquarters to Hillsborough and back to Orange County, where it all began for us as a company 20 years ago. It’s important that we provide a workplace and infrastructure that can support continued growth and allow us to increase the value we bring to our artists and label partners while attracting and retaining our best assets — our employees. Additionally, we are grateful for the assistance of Orange County’s Economic Development Department and look forward to continued growth in Hillsborough and Orange County for many years to come.”

The release says the project also includes involvement from Yadkin Bank, Russell Kennedy general contractor and Center Studio Architecture.

Redeye began in Carrboro and has been headquartered in Haw River.
