/EINPresswire.com/ -- CHARLOTTE, NC--(Marketwired - December 27, 2016) - Foundry Commercial announces their latest development project in joint venture with Thackeray Partners, to deliver two Class A industrial buildings in Charlotte's Southwest submarket, the largest industrial submarket in Charlotte. The development is named SteelePoint and will contain approximately 367,000 sf of institutional warehouse space near the intersection of Steele Creek Road and Westinghouse Boulevard.

SteelePoint will capitalize on dynamic market fundamentals, including single-digit vacancy, strong user demand, and limited new supply. The development will simultaneously deliver two, rear-load buildings containing a 250,000 square-foot and a 117,000 square-foot warehouse with a 200' shared, truck court. Preliminary plans call for tilt-wall construction, 30' clear height and ESFR sprinkler systems with flexible specifications accommodating single or multi-tenant users.

Foundry closed on four parcels from two different sellers totaling 25 acres allowing SteelePoint to offer access from both Steele Creek and Ed Brown roads, both of which intersect with Westinghouse Boulevard, the most developed industrial corridor in the submarket.

"Our local team was instrumental in assembling one of the best remaining undeveloped industrial tracts in the market -- the site has an 'infill' feel given the location, access and dense surrounding development. It's exciting to offer such high quality product to our clients on both the tenant and capital sides of the business," said Bill Simerville, managing director and principal at Foundry Commercial. "We secured the dirt and joint ventured with our partners at Thackeray -- now we get to deploy our construction management, project leasing, property management and asset management teams -- that's the alignment of interests across multiple disciplines that sets Foundry apart -- it's what attracted me to Foundry in the first place."

Foundry Commercial's presence in the Charlotte market has grown steadily since the company entered the region in 2011. Currently, the firm estimates the combined Charlotte and Raleigh offices lease roughly 30 percent of the third-party institutional market.

The company is actively investing in and developing industrial assets throughout the Southeast. In Orlando, Foundry Commercial is developing a combined 1.74 million square feet of industrial space through its Princeton Oaks and Crews Commerce Center assets, respectively. The firm is also developing a 1.75 million square-foot industrial asset in Miami, called Carrie Meek International Business Park.
