Lifestyle retail company URBN plans to expand in Philadelphia and establish operations in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The at least $150 million project is expected to create 1,050 jobs.

The investment will include the construction of a new Nuuly facility in Bucks County as well as additional workforce at the company’s existing headquarters at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.

“URBN’s roots are firmly in Philadelphia, from our beginnings at 43rd and Locust 56 years ago, to our 20-year history here at the Navy Yard. Celebrating this anniversary alongside the opening of Building 16 is a proud moment for our company,” said Richard A. Hayne, Chief Executive Officer of URBN. “Our relationship with the state has been vital to our success, and we look forward to creating more jobs and continuing our investment in Pennsylvania.”

To support the project, Pennsylvania extended Keystone Opportunity Zone (KOZ) benefits to the company.

“URBN has been a key player in transforming the Philadelphia Navy Yard back into a thriving center for economic activity and we’re proud to support their continued investment in Pennsylvania,” noted Rick Siger, Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development. “This new investment from the company serves as an engine for job growth in Philadelphia and Bucks County. The Shapiro Administration will continue to support thriving businesses like URBN that help boost our economy and create real opportunity for Pennsylvanians.”

URBN’s brands include Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Free People, FP Movement, and Terrain. The company operates apparel, accessories, home goods, and consumer lifestyle brands through stores, e-commerce platforms, and subscription services.
