On January 15, the Pleasant Prairie Plan Commission approved a Master Conceptual Plan to develop an approximately 45-acre property in Prairie Highlands Corporate Park. The approved plan outlines the construction of a 325,000-square-foot Uline Headquarters Office Building (H4). The office building will be three stories with a basement and is proposed to be developed on vacant property north of 104th Street (CTH Q) on the east side of 128th Avenue.
The project will expand Uline's presence in Pleasant Prairie. Construction of H4 will bring a fourth Uline headquarters office building to the area. The approved plans include offices, conference rooms, dining areas, and a fitness area. There is also a detached 4,000-square-foot utility building proposed. The corporate office building development adheres to the uses within the M-5 zoning district.
The building design will be similar to the existing Uline Headquarters buildings, featuring extensive landscaping, green spaces, and an architectural layout and scale that aligns with the other Uline buildings. The facility anticipates employing at least 700 full-time and 20 part-time employees, with many positions relocating from existing Uline facilities. The site will provide 1,061 parking spaces, including 21 handicapped-accessible parking spaces. Construction is anticipated to begin in Spring 2024, with occupancy expected by late 2025.
"The development approval shows the Village's commitment to facilitating responsible and strategic growth within Pleasant Prairie," stated Jean Werbie-Harris, Community Development Director. "The Master Conceptual Plan for the corporate headquarters reflects the collaborative efforts between Uline and the Village of Pleasant Prairie to create an attractive and functional space that positively expands the job market in southeastern Wisconsin."
