New office building planned at The Corridor lands Hydrite
One of two new office buildings planned for The Corridor mixed-use development in Brookfield has landed an anchor tenant.
Hydrite Chemical Co. will fully occupy a two-story, 45,000-square-foot office building on Golf Parkway at The Corridor, between I-94 and West Blue Mound Road, west of Calhoun Road.
Hydrite will move there from its 26,000-square-foot office at 300 N. Patrick Blvd., also in Brookfield.
Hydrite's new corporate headquarters is designed with future growth in mind, according to a Wednesday announcement from Irgens Partners LLC, The Corridor's developer.
“We are fortunate to have a forwardthinking partner and legacy Milwaukee-area based company in Hydrite Chemical Co.,” said Tom Irgens, executive vice president of Irgens.
The Corridor, which includes hotels, stores, restaurants and a fitness center, "offers many amenities for our employees and customers,” said Paul Honkamp, Hydrite chief executive officer.
“Our new corporate headquarters facility is an investment in our future," Honkamp said.
Construction will begin this fall, with
Hydrite moving into its new offices in January 2022, Irgens said.
Hydrite, a family-owned company established in 1929, operates manufacturing facilities, warehouses and laboratories in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, California and Texas. It has 1,000 employees.
The future Hydrite headquarters is one of two neighboring office buildings that make up Golf Parkway Corporate Center at The Corridor.
The other building will have six stories totaling 188,000 square feet.
Irgens executives told the Journal Sentinel in May that the larger building is close to signing two tenants, with 115,000 square feet and 35,000 square feet.
The firm isn't yet disclosing those prospective tenants' names. But two possibilities are actuarial consultant Milliman and MRA-The Management Association, according to an office market report from Founders 3 Real Estate Services.
