An Ohio based distribution company is the newest tenant in the SouthPoint Business Park located in Huntsville, Alabama. The 227,600 SF facility was being built as a virtually-complete speculative building that was completed in October. Due to the high demand for Class A industrial space, the building was leased in less than 60 days of completion.
SouthPoint Business Park, Alabama has seen rapid expansion since 2016. Five facilities have been leased in the last 30 months. To support this growth, a 108,960 SF facility has recently been completed and is available for lease. Development of a new 172,000 SF facility is underway and will be available in mid Q3, 2019.
The SouthPoint Business Park, Alabama is located adjacent to both the I-65 and I-565. This location provides excellent access to markets from Nashville, TN and Louisville, KY to the north and Birmingham and Montgomery, AL to the south. This corridor is highly favored by companies that serve the Southern Automotive market.

In addition to The Hollingsworth Companies’ portfolio of virtually-complete industrial buildings, the company has been active with build-to-suit projects in 2018. The Hollingsworth Companies has recently increased their construction staff to provide additional build-to-suit capacity for 2019.

With an inhouse architect and seasoned project managers, BTS facilities are completed faster than industry average at very competitive pricing due to our consistently high volume of construction.
