BRISTOL, WIS. — Haribo of America Inc. has signed a full-building industrial lease for 447,216 square feet at Bristol Highlands Commerce Center East in Bristol, a city in Southeast Wisconsin. Chicago-based HSA Commercial Real Estate owns the 68-acre industrial park. The lease marks the largest industrial lease executed in the Southeast Wisconsin submarket last quarter, according to HSA.
Haribo, a global manufacturer of gummi products, currently occupies the 157,656-square-foot Building 1 at Bristol Highlands Commerce Center East. The warehousing and distribution operations will move from Building 1 to Building 3 upon completion of the interior build-out in the second quarter.
