Ulta cosmetics eye 670,000 SF in Dallas’ Mountain Creek

DALLAS – Ulta Inc. will build a 670,000-sf distribution center in the Mountain Creek Business Park on the north side of I-20 at Mountain Creek Pkwy.

The $18 million distribution center development will ultimately employ 450 workers starting in 2016, according to documents filed with the City of Dallas’ Economic Development Committee.

Construction will start on the building before the end of the year, with completion in late 2015.

Ulta is projecting that the new facility will generate almost $14 million in taxable sales from e-commerce transactions in the first year of operation.

Ulta is the second major cosmetics firm to locate a distribution center in the I-20 corridor. L’Oreal recently opened a 513,000-sf warehouse on Dallas Ave. and Telephone Rd., south of I-20.
