Chicago-based developer HSA Commercial Real Estate has broken ground on the first phase of the Bristol Highlands Commerce Center, a 68-acre business park at Wilmot Road and 136th Avenue near the Wisconsin-Illinois border.

According to a news release, the first phase consists of two speculative buildings totaling nearly 629,900 square feet. The roughly 157,700-square-foot warehouse and 472,200-square-foot distribution center buildings are scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter this year.

Site work and mass grading for the business park is already underway, and the buildings are expected to start going vertical later this month.

A remaining 25-acre parcel can accommodate another up to 450,000-square-foot warehouse. This would create a total warehouse capacity of over 1 million square feet in the business park.
