Should UWP Desktop Bridge app rebuild all the referenced project?

We have an UWP app and recently we wanted to make it a Desktop Bridge app for other business needs.
So, our project configuration is like this:

Windows app packaging project  
    |  
    |------- UWP App Project  
    |------- Console Application (.NET Core)  

When we build the project, at first it builds all the dependencies of UWP App project and the project itself.
Then, it builds the Console Application project.
Finally, during building the WAPP, we can see that it once again builds the UWP App project.

This seems strange. I am not sure if this is the intended behavior.
I guess, there might be some problems in our project/solution configuration which can be fixed to prevent building the UWP project twice.

This is a huge project and the build time is too much, which is frustrating.
I can' t share the full solution/project config file here as this is an enterprise app.
Please let me know the minimal information you need to debug the problem.
