MILWAUKEE, WI – Dremel Power Tools has signed a lease with St. John Properties, Inc. for 8,758 square feet of space at Mt. Pleasant Commerce Center, a mixed-use business community in Racine County, Wisconsin containing just over 200,000 square feet of flex/R&D and office space. Founded in 1932 by Albert J. Dremel, the company recently relocated approximately 20 employees to 13203 Globe Drive to establish a corporate call center. Greg Fax, Regional Partner for St. John Properties represented the landlord in this transaction.

“Mt. Pleasant Commerce Center satisfied every important requirement in our real estate search, including close proximity to our previous location to minimize the disruption to our current call center workforce,” stated Ed Pchola, Director of Operations for Dremel Power Tools. “The flexible design and efficiency of the building made the tenant build-out simple and our staff has easy access to numerous amenities including multiple food options. It was important to remain in Racine County where our company was founded.”

Mt. Pleasant Commerce Center is a five-building business community situated within an 18-acre site near the intersection of WI Route 20 (Washington Avenue) and Interstate 94/41, and features an amenity basketball / pickleball court. 13203 Globe Drive is a single-story building containing 39,080 square feet of flex/R&D space featuring 16-foot ceiling heights and dock and drive-in loading. The site is less than nine miles from Batten International Airport and twenty-five miles from Milwaukee.
