UPS Reveals Locations Of 22 Facilities Slated To Close This Year

UPS announced late last month that it would close 24 facilities as it culls its workforce by some 30,000, but it didn't disclose which sites in its vast network it would close.

Now, thanks to court documents, the locations of 22 of those targeted sites have been revealed.

The list includes two major regional hubs in Atlanta and West Columbia, South Carolina, each well over 200K SF, as well as 20 smaller facilities throughout the U.S, according to a UPS document filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts.

The publication FreightWaves was the first to report the list of closures.

UPS plans to close three facilities in Massachusetts, the most in any state on the list.

Atlanta-based UPS is conducting the closures amid its dispute with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters over its voluntary driver separation program aimed at reducing the company’s overall workforce.

UPS said in its annual report that it had identified 24 buildings for closure in the first half of 2026, and “we continue to review expected changes in volume in our integrated air and ground network to identify additional buildings for closure.”

The shipping giant posted a $5.5B profit on revenues of $88.6B in 2025, down from $5.7B on revenues of $91B the year before, according to its annual report.

At the start of 2025, UPS announced it would shutter facilities and reduce staff as part of a plan to reduce its low-margin parcel business with Amazon by half, Bisnow previously reported.

Last year, UPS cut 48,000 positions and closed 93 leased and owned buildings, part of a reconfiguration effort that generated savings of around $3.5B for a total cost of $544M, according to its annual report.

UPS said its network reconfiguration effort, slated to end next year, is expected to save the company $3B in 2026. Last year, UPS sold a data center and other real estate properties in a series of sale-leaseback transactions for $465M, according to the annual report.

UPS sold 35 Glenlake Parkway, a 133K SF office building near its Atlanta headquarters, to Kennedy Wilson for $16.5M, Bisnow previously reported.

Earlier this month, the Teamsters filed a lawsuit against UPS over its voluntary driver separation program, through which about 105,000 UPS drivers can elect to take a $150K buyout, the Atlanta Business Chronicle reported.

While the Teamsters claim the program violates UPS’ contract with the union, the shipping giant argued the union is using the court system in its labor dispute rather than going through proper arbitration and negotiating directly with the logistics company.
