Minnetonka, Minnesota-based Opus Development Company LLC sold 48.6 acres at 500 W. Opus Drive to Setzer Properties MKE, LLC Â for $2.3 million, according to state records.
The vacant site is where Lexington, Kentucky-based Setzer Properties is planning a build-to-suit project for FedEx.

The facility will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week with three shifts per day. Based on shift overlap, there will be 264 employee parking spaces.
The second phase will add about 27,600 square feet of dock space and 8,400 square feet to the maintenance building
Approximately 315 employees are expected to work at full build out of the property.
