The Hollingsworth Companies break ground on 108,960 SqFt Industrial building in Huntsville, Alabama
Huntsville, AL – July 18, 2017 – The Hollingsworth Companies broke ground on their sixth industrial building project in SouthPoint Industrial Park, Alabama on July 18th. This is the second facility started within the last 2 months and is a replacement for a building that was leased early this month. The 108,960 SqFt class A steel building, with 32’ clear height and LED lighting is suitable for warehouse or manufacturing space.
Tommy Battle, Mayor of Huntsville stated ”The timeline for industrial development projects is becoming quicker because companies want to be in business as fast as they can. Clearly there is demand in Huntsville for industrial facilities and we are sure that this trend will continue as more businesses learn Huntsville is an ideal location to make them successful. This new facility will be a welcome addition to the available inventory in Huntsville.”
“Limestone County Economic Development Association (LCEDA) is very happy to see that the Hollingsworth Companies is adding another building (108,960 sq. ft.) to the SouthPoint Business Park in Huntsville, Limestone County, Alabama. The park has great visibility from Interstate 65 and Interstate 565 and has all utilities in place including high speed fiber. We are pleased to continue our long term relationship with Hollingsworth and look forward to helping bring occupants to the building” added Tom Hill, President of the LCEDA.
In addition to the two buildings in Alabama, The Hollingsworth Companies have completed a 126,000 SqFt building in Andersonville, TN, started an 85 acre expansion of SouthPoint Business Park in Mocksville, NC and plan to start construction of a 108,960 upon completion of the park expansion. Joe Hollingsworth, CEO of The Hollingsworth Companies stated “We are continuing to see an improvement in the real estate market as government regulations have been rolled back. This improvement is all a result of increased manufacturing numbers and continued confidence in the economic recovery.”
The SouthPoint Industrial park is located adjacent to the I-65 and I-565 interstates, between Nashville, TN and Birmingham, AL. This location provides quick access for companies that want to be centrally located in the Southeast manufacturing corridor. The SouthPoint Park, Alabama was designed for companies that support the Red Stone Arsenal, Army Contracting Command; NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center; and the Southern Automotive corridor.
The Hollingsworth Companies have already delivered 60+ projects throughout the southeast to various clients and sees the pace of this picking up again. The projects include Build-to-Suit and Finish-to-Suit projects ranging in size from 85,000 square feet to 400,000 square feet.
