The building, located at Phase II of the Crossroads Logistics Center, a master-planned project at the intersection of Interstate 10 and Hwy. 60, will be used to accommodate ULAC’s global design/manufacturing, marketing, sales, and distribution.

It will contain assembly, racking, and state-of-the-art material handling conveyor automation systems and includes approximately 30,000 SF of office space.

This one-half mile long building will be distinguished as one of the largest known industrial buildings in the entire Southern California region.

“This groundbreaking is a key milestone for the continued growth of United Legwear & Apparel Company in the United States,” said Chris Volpe, chief operating and financial officer of ULAC. “This amazing facility will be a catalyst to our commitment to our customers and the community for years to come.”

Luke McDaniel, Cameron Driscoll, Jeff Bellitti, and Mac Hewett of JLL represented United Legwear.

The architecture firm of record is HPA Architecture, and the general contractor is Fullmer Construction Company. 

This new ULAC massive structure is positioned on 85 acres known as Phase II of the Crossroads Logistics Center, a master-planned project at the intersection of Interstate 10 and Hwy. 60, which also includes an under construction 816,000 SF build to suit facility. 

 Wolverine Worldwide’s fulfillment center and another build to suit fulfillment facility were both recently developed as Phase I of Crossroads in 2017 and 2020 by the USAA Real Estate and McDonald team.

A new Highway 60 freeway interchange overpass benefits and provides additional access for the project near the east entrance.

The property is 78 miles from the Port of Los Angeles, proximate to railways and the new FedEx Ground sorting and distribution center in Palm Springs, making it accessible to various intermodal transportation routes.
