Chicago-based HSA Commercial Real Estate announced that HARIBO of America, Inc., has executed a 157,656-square-foot, full-building lease at HSA Commercial’s Bristol Highlands Commerce Center, a 68-acre industrial park in Bristol, Wisconsin, near Interstate 94 and the Wisconsin-Illinois border.
The deal means the first phase of Bristol Highlands Commerce Center, which was completed in 2020 and includes a larger 472,176-square-foot warehouse, is now fully leased.
HARIBO, the world’s leading manufacturer of gummi products, plans to occupy the space in first-quarter 2022, using it for distribution of finished product. Located at 9655 136th Ave., the facility will complement HARIBO’s first-ever North American production plant, which is currently under construction just 2 miles away in Pleasant Prairie.
HSA Commercial broke ground on a third speculative warehouse at Bristol Highlands Commerce Center this summer. Located at 9403 136th Ave., the 447,000-square-foot distribution center is scheduled for completion in early 2022 and features 36-foot clear heights, 73 truck docks and ample parking for employees.
Earlier this year, Visual Pak, a Waukegan, Illinois-based firm providing contract packaging and manufacturing solutions for a variety of well-known food, personal care, automotive and healthcare brands, moved into the 472,176-square-foot warehouse that, together with the HARIBO building, comprises phase one.
Bristol Highlands Commerce Center features a campus-like design that includes generous setbacks, sizable walking paths, an upgraded detention pond, enhanced landscaping and several signage features.
Whit Heitman, Sam Badger and Jared Paff of CBRE represented HARIBO in the lease transaction. Jeff Hoffman of Cushman & Wakefield | Boerke and Eric Fischer of Cushman & Wakefield represented ownership.
