Foundry Commercial to Develop 1.1 Million Square-Foot Industrial Park, in Charlotte's Airport West Submarket

106-acre property marks commercial real estate firm's second industrial development announced in last 60 days

/EINPresswire.com/ -- CHARLOTTE, NC--(Marketwired - January 27, 2017) - Foundry Commercial, a regional commercial real estate firm with offices across the Southeast and Texas, has closed on another industrial development site in the last 60 days -- a 1.1 million square-foot, 106-acre property located in the Airport West submarket. Formerly known as Beltway Business Park, Foundry and capital partner Principal Real Estate Investors, will rename and develop the tract as WestPark 85.

Located off Interstate 85, the dominant industrial corridor in Charlotte, West Park 85 is strategically positioned along the "Mega Corridor" commonly referred to as I-85 between Atlanta and Raleigh. The asset's connectivity to other major interstates (I-77 and I-485 -- Charlotte's outer belt), as well as the Charlotte Douglas International Airport and the Norfolk Southern Intermodal railyard, makes WestPark 85's location ideal for tenants requiring access to a broad distribution network.

"The Airport West submarket has seen only 400,000 square feet of new product delivered in the last 2 years, so we expect demand for this project to remain high," said Bill Simerville, managing director and principal at Foundry Commercial. "What makes WestPark 85 so exciting is it accommodates pent-up demand for institutional quality new supply, while fueling job growth in our region."

West Park 85 will have the ability to accommodate virtually any size user. The 32' clear height, rear-load, tilt-wall construction with ESFR sprinkler systems reflects demand for the deepest sector of the industrial market. The first phase will break ground immediately consisting of two buildings totaling 450,000 square feet. Based upon tenant demand, the second phase will accommodate one large user requiring up to 800,000 square feet or up to four, multi-tenant buildings containing 650,000 square feet.

Phase I will deliver the first two buildings simultaneously in Q4 of 2017, Phase II will follow immediately unless tenant demand accelerates development.
