On Tuesday, April 9, UGI Utilities celebrated the grand opening of its 93,000-square-foot headquarters building in Denver, PA. The new building, which currently hosts 260 employees, can accommodate as many as 350.
“Construction of our new headquarters building marks a significant milestone in the history of UGI Utilities,” Robert F. Beard, UGI CEO and President, said. “We are pleased to locate our new headquarters building in Lancaster County, which is one of the fastest-growing areas in our service territory. The location and design of our new building will enhance and expand our employees’ efforts aimed at providing excellent service and the safe and reliable delivery of energy to our customers and to the many communities located within our service territory.”
Located on 32 acres at the intersection of Route 222 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike, UGI’s headquarters boasts a multitude of features to improve employee health and wellness, including nearly a mile of walking trails, an outdoor patio and firepit, electric vehicle stations, a full-service kitchen, and a yoga studio and fitness center.
Originally planned for a 15-month construction schedule, the UGI project was completed five weeks ahead of schedule, allowing senior staff to move in at the beginning of 2019.
