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.

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.

“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.”
