Packaging giant begins building $96M facility in region

NAPLES — Construction is underway for a new $96 million distribution center for packaging giant Uline in Naples.

Naples-based DeAngelis Diamond and Minneapolis-based Mortenson are the leading builders on the project, according to a statement. The new Uline Naples facility — near the Paradise Coast Sports Complex, just north of Interstate 75 — is planned as a 937,000-square-foot structural steel framework warehouse. The project, with 40-foot clear height ceilings, will also include a single-story office complex on the southeast end of the warehouse building, the release adds. Construction began in July and is expected to be completed by early 2023.
