A South Windsor property owner is looking to build a new accessory warehouse for consolidation and expansion of a logistics operations tenant along Sullivan Avenue.
Moores Property Management LLC wants to build a new 32,200-square-foot accessory warehouse on a 4.27-acre property that it owns at 500 Sullivan Ave.
The site contains an existing building used by United Delivery Inc., a family-owned logistics management, product distribution, and warehousing company that has been operating there since 2020. The site was formerly operated by New England Transportation Inc.
United Delivery is currently leasing off-site storage space in multiple buildings around South Windsor, and the new building would limit the need for off-site storage space and transportation between facilities, the application reads.
The United Delivery facility has roughly 25 employees, which “may increase due to future business growth but is not anticipated to increase immediately with the construction of the warehouse,” the applicants said.
Plans for the expansion project include building two new loading docks, adding to the existing building’s nine active loading bays, and seven trailer parking spaces, all of which will remain. Additional parking spaces for employees will also be added to the site.
United Delivery office space in the existing building will be relocated to the new warehouse, the application said.
Members of the development team incluse PDS Engineering and Construction of Bloomfield as general contractor; Design Professionals Inc., of South Windsor for civil engineering, planning, landscape architecture and land surveying; F.A. Hesketh & Associates Inc., of East Granby for traffic engineering; and Ian T. Cole, of Middletown, for wetlands and environmental work.
