Ulta Beauty seeks a permit for a $2.25 million conveyor system for its fulfillment center under development at the Park 295 Industrial Park in Northwest Jacksonville.

Ulta Beauty wants to install the system in the 202,471-square-foot center it will lease in the business park. Lumax Miami Corp. of West Park is the contractor for the conveyor system.

The city issued a permit July 26 for Ulta Beauty to build-out a fulfillment center in the space.

Jim Cooper Construction Co. Inc. will renovate the tenant space for Ulta Beauty at a cost of almost $3.98 million at 2619 Ignition Drive.

Ulta will lease part of a 552,634-square-foot building, the first structure at the business park in development at Interstate 295 and Duval Road. NorthPoint Development of Kansas City, Missouri, is developing Park 295.

The company distributes and sells cosmetics, fragrances, skin care products and hair care products.

Ulta Beauty CEO Mary Dillon said in March the Bollingbrook, Illinois-based beauty products retailer would open an e-commerce fast fulfillment center in Jacksonville in summer 2020.

In May, the city confirmed that Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance Inc. is Project Flamingo, which City Council approved Jan. 8 for a city grant of $1.425 million.

Ulta Beauty intends to invest $37.5 million to lease and equip the center to distribute skin and hair care products.

City legislation calls for the project to create 30 full-time jobs by year-end 2021 at an average annual salary of $46,346.

Ulta hasn’t announced the number of employees it will hire in Jacksonville, but the city’s 2019 Economic Development Partner Impact Report says the center will create 150 logistics and distribution jobs.

Lower-wage warehouse jobs are not counted toward the salary threshold.
