Hollenbach Oakley announced Monday it plans to grow Midea America’s footprint at its facility in Blankenbaker Station nearly fivefold. The project is expected to create 110 new jobs.<\/p>\n
Louisville-based commercial real estate firm Hollenback Oakley was awarded the project management agreement. Midea America, based in New Jersey, has a research and development center in Louisville.<\/p>\n
Plans call for Midea to invest $35.6 million to expand its office and lab space at the 600-acre “Class A” business park. The expanded facility will be located at 2700 Chestnut Station Court, which is part of the Phase III Blankenbaker Station project.<\/p>\n
Design plans are already in place, according to a news release from Hollenbach Oakley. Groundbreaking is scheduled for late 2024.<\/p>\n
Midea America is a Fortune 500 company and the world’s largest producer of home appliances. The company manufactures a variety of products, including refrigerators, window air conditioners, washers and driers.<\/p>\n
The company posted revenue of about $372 billion yuan in 2023, or about $51 billion in U.S. dollars.
