The Hollingsworth Companies have been a long time supporter of the Mocksville community with the introduction of the areas 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 in making this park successful and I want to thank the entire county for their willingness to help us develop their area,” Hollingsworth said.
This tenth building, a 253,180 square foot industrial building, will be a similar designed, steel and masonry facility, with 30’ clear height, 60 foot by 60 foot column spacing and high intensity LED lighting. This facility design has been very successful for The Hollingsworth Companies with four industrial parks and over 125 buildings across the Southeastern Manufacturing corridor located from Virginia to Mississippi. From their beginnings as a local development company in Clinton, TN, The Hollingsworth portfolio now includes 18 million square feet of property leased to companies that range from manufacturing to distribution and fortune 100 companies to high growth, early stage companies less than two years old.
The ninth building in the park, a 108,960 SF facility built on spec. is currently available for a long-term lease by a light manufacturing and/or distribution company. Two additional buildings are planned in the park, a 152,160 SF facility that can be expanded to 238,590 SF and a 130,344 SF facility that can be expanded to 259,944. Both are expected to be constructed in 2019.
“Mocksville could not have asked for a better business partner than the Hollingsworth Companies. It has been a pleasure working with such a professional organization that has helped bring so many employers to our town since 1997. With their new buildings coming on line in the near future, Mocksville will remain at the forefront of economic development in this booming economy” stated Will Marklin, Mayor, Mocksville, NC.
Terry Bralley, President of the Davie County Economic Development Commission added “Mocksville-Davie County has been the envy of rural communities in North Carolina for 20 years. Our community has developed the perfect public-private partnership to support an industrial park with speculative buildings bringing 100’s of jobs and new investment to our community.
Hollingsworth believed in our community when others did not. Without industrial buildings in today’s fast paced environment, communities do not have the opportunity to grow future jobs.
The partnership with Hollingsworth, the largest non urban industrial real estate developer and construction firm in the southeast United States continues to creates an incredible winning story for our community, of which we are most grateful.”
The SouthPoint Industrial park is located adjacent to the I-40 between the I-85 and I-77. This location is ideally suited for manufacturing and distribution companies that support the Charlotte, Winston Salem, and Greensboro MSA’s. The Charlotte MSA has seen strong growth with 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.
