Gateway Region Home to Largest Spec Site Development in Virginia



Virginia's Gateway Region is home to the largest spec site development in Virginia. The Hollingsworth Companies have pre-graded the site and are starting construction of a 650,250 sq. ft. speculative building in Southpoint Business Park located in Prince George County. This will be the 12th and largest facility developed by The Hollingsworth Companies in Southpoint, which has provided the community with facilities supporting hundreds of jobs and millions of dollars in investments.

With this new facility, Southpoint Business Park will have 1,600,000 sq. ft. of industrial space suitable for high-growth manufacturing and distribution companies. It is located along I-295, only minutes from I-85 and I-95. The spec building will be a concrete tilt-wall comprising 40' in clear height, 60' by 60' column spacing, 142 dock doors and 177 trailer drops.

"While there are build-to-suit projects in Virginia exceeding 1,000,000 sq. ft., this will be the largest speculative building in the market," said the spokesperson. "Speculative buildings are developed to provide immediate occupancy and lure large site-selection projects. Since the building will be completed with up-fits, target clients can take occupancy in less than 60 days, compared to build-to-suit projects that can take up to two years for land acquisition, site work and building construction."

"We are extremely excited about the construction of this new speculative development in Southpoint Business Park. Buildings of this caliber will attract industrial prospects quickly, and are of immediate support to the local and regional economy ultimately increasing prosperity," explained Keith Boswell, President and CEO of Virginia's Gateway Region Economic Development Organization (VGR). "This latest Hollingsworth building of 650,250 sq. ft. in Prince George County will result in a company that will create additional jobs and investment, an increased tax base and will boost the region's prosperity, while giving us another tool to help us in our continuing efforts to diversify our economy and to assist anyone in the Gateway Region who wants a job to get one. We appreciate Hollingsworth for responding to the demand for industrial facilities needed for the expansion of our community now and over the horizon."

Joe Hollingsworth, CEO of The Hollingsworth Companies, stated: "In spite of the economic pressure of COVID-19, we are very bullish on the Richmond metropolitan statistical area, and specifically the Gateway Region and Prince George County markets. We have successfully grown our business on the belief that American manufacturing will continue to prosper, and the Southeastern United States will lead this growth. I would like to thank the community for being willing to invest the time, effort and money into being a true partner in making this park successful. It is my belief that the next eight years will be the best economic period of our lives."
