Two of the buildings are just under 200,000 square feet while the other two exceed 200,000 square feet, according to a site plan filed with the city. The largest building proposed is nearly 240,000 square feet, the plans show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__segment combx paywall__content\">Hank Hillebrand, director of development for Poe Cos., said by phone Tuesday that the project is speculative industrial space that could be ideal for e-commerce companies or other users.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__segment combx paywall__content\">&#8220;That seems to be a big driver of our local spec industrial space, but this could also be a great site for other uses,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It will depend. We will not want to limit ourselves on what types of tenants come here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__segment combx paywall__content\">Hillebrand said the firm was attracted to the location because of its proximity to a strong employment base and its easy access to UPS Worldport and local interstates. The project will likely be completed in phases but the timing of the first building has not been determined. Hillebrand\u00a0 also said construction costs have not been finalized.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__segment combx paywall__content\">Louisville&#8217;s Land Design and Development Inc. \u2014 a surveying, land planning, civil engineering and landscape architecture firm \u2014 is assisting on the proposal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__segment combx paywall__content\"><strong>Other projects<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"content__segment combx paywall__content\">Louisville Business First\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/louisville\/news\/2021\/04\/13\/poe-cos.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previously reported<\/a>\u00a0in April that Poe Cos. intends to construct a 434,000-square-foot speculative office and warehouse building on roughly 28 acres around 1391 Dixie Highway, based on plans filed with Louisville Metro Government. A letter filed with the application states this site has a long history of similar uses of an industrial and commercial nature, including the storage and distribution of coal, lumber and other products in the past. The site is vacant now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__segment combx paywall__content\">\u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to taking something that\u2019s frankly been abandoned for years and &#8230; creating something out of it,\u201d Hillebrand\u00a0previously told LBF.
