The growing Dawley Farm Village in eastern Sioux Falls will add Ulta Beauty to its retail offerings as construction crews continue to build up the sprawling commercial center.

Ulta will move into the Dawley Apex building at the northern edge of the development, commercial broker Ryan Tysdal said in an email.

The Dawley Apex addition is still under construction and will include more than 25,000 square feet of space for incoming retailers.

“The existing smaller retail space has generally been pretty leased up at Dawley,” said Tysdal, a broker for Van Buskirk Cos. “This project will provide more options for small retail and food tenants.”

Ulta will use 10,000 square feet of the new building, which will also have enough space for six other smaller retailers to open up along South Highline Place, across the street from First Bank & Trust.

Both Tysdal and Raquel Blount of Lloyd Cos. worked on bringing Ulta to the Dawley Apex, which will face north next to the Petsmart.

“Typically, Raquel and I are on opposite sides of deals,” Tysdal said in an email. “It was fun to get to be on the same side for once. She was pivotal in this deal coming together.”

The expanding Dawley Farm retail center and the new Apex building, along with other developments in eastern Sioux Falls, will benefit from the extension of Hwy. 100 to Interstate 90. When finished, the I-90 connection will make it easier for shoppers to get to eastern Sioux Falls, Tysdal said.

“Imagine getting from Luverne (Minnesota) to the eastside Target in just 20 minutes,” Tysdal said. “That’s huge.”
