Pleasant Prairie-based Uline plans to further expanding its Kenosha County footprint with the addition of a 1.2 million-square-foot warehouse and distribution facility to be located on an 80-acre site southwest of its warehouse campus north of 38th Street and 128th Avenue in Kenosha, according to city documents.
Uline is a distributor of shipping, industrial and packaging materials. The company’s new warehouse will cost roughly $129 million to build and will add to its already expansive Kenosha County footprint, which could total more than 12 million square feet with the addition of this facility.
The new building will be constructed in the likeness of others on the Kenosha campus and will be utilized similarly, with several loading docks and structural designs emulating its campus neighbors.
Uline owned the land prior to the release of its plans to construct another facility and mentioned the possibility to build two, one million-square-foot facilities on its site, according to a December conversation with Joe Stagnaro, distribution manager at Uline.
It is likely that Uline will build another warehouse facility east of this project also, city documents said.
Uline also recently expanded in Pleasant Prairie, leasing a 502,000-square-foot facility.
Uline currently occupies 16 buildings in Kenosha County including several large distribution centers on the Kenosha warehouse campus, plus two headquarters office buildings and additional distribution centers at the corporate headquarters campus in Pleasant Prairie.
