Construction has begun on two new industrial facilities in the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina
The Hollingsworth Companies is taking advantage of the recent dry weather to start the construction of two new speculatively complete industrial buildings in Mocksville, North Carolina. Both of these facilities are being built for long-term lease by light manufacturing or distribution companies in the SouthPoint Industrial Park – North Carolina.
These new facilities will be constructed at 130,492 SF and 152,241 SF to expand the park to a total of 12 single-tenant industrial buildings. With 40 years of project experience from Virginia to Mississippi, The Hollingsworth Companies has completed Build to Suit and “Spec” industrial building projects in multiple tertiary markets throughout the Southeastern United States.
The Hollingsworth Companies have been a long-time partner of the Mocksville community with the introduction of the area’s first industrial park in 1997. I would like to thank the community for being willing to invest time, effort, and money into being a true partner and for their willingness to support us with the development of the SouthPoint Business Park.” Owner & CEO Joe Hollingsworth said.
Terry Bralley, president of the Davie County Economic Development Commission, added, “The partnership with The Hollingsworth Companies and our community has led the way to attracting and growing new businesses and creating jobs in our county for decades. Joe Hollingsworth showed us the way to better prepare our community by providing industrial product that companies need.”
The SouthPoint Industrial Park is off Hwy 601 N. and is located adjacent to I-40 between I-85 and I-77. This location is ideally suited for manufacturing and distribution companies that support Charlotte, Winston-Salem, and Greensboro MSAs. The Charlotte MSA has seen strong growth in defense-related industries, with four of the nation’s top ten defense contractors locating facilities in the area as well as a strong market for distribution companies located along the I-85 corridor. Greensboro has well-established manufacturers in chemicals (pharmaceuticals), transportation equipment, machinery, and fabricated metals. While the Winston-Salem area sees continued expansion in Apparel, Aerospace, and Construction Equipment manufacturing.
Current tenants, representing hundreds of jobs and millions of dollars in investments, include Larson, Gesipa Fasteners, Metal Sales Manufacturing, Dunlop Aircraft Tyres, Entrematic, Scott Bader, Palltronics, Concordance Healthcare Solutions, and Guidecraft.
