Featured Sites & Buildings

The City of Kannapolis has a diverse offering of buildings and sites available for development. They include retail and office space in Cannon Village and land for retail and commercial development on Dale Earnhardt Blvd adjacent to Northlite Shopping Center at I-85, exit 60. The City is also aggressively investigating putting together a new industrial business park, based on the success of the Kannapolis Gateway Business Park.

In the center of downtown Kannapolis, David Murdock is building the North Carolina Research Campus. The research campus will house the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Nutrition Institute, a Dole- NC State Institute for Advanced Fruit and Vegetable Science, a campus of Rowan Cabarrus Community College, and a science and a mathematics school for girls. The development plans also include residential, office and retail components.

At I-85, exit 54 along the Kannapolis Parkway and fronting NC Highway 73, there is space for industrial, office, light manufacturing, and distribution development in Kannapolis Gateway Business Park. Buildings currently under construction in the Kannapolis Gateway Business Park include a 57,600 square foot speculative building and two 8,400 square foot retail/office buildings and eventually include a neighborhood retail center. For more information about Kannapolis Gateway Business Park contact MarkPiercePoole Properties, Inc. at 704-343-2828.

Biscayne Industrial Park, Dogwood Industrial Park, and a new, 275-acre Childress Klein business park also offer these types of development options. Like Kannapolis Gateway Business Park, each of these business parks has access to I-85, NC Hwy 73, and is within easy reach of I-77, NC Highway 3, Concord Regional Airport, Lowe's Motor Speedway and Charlotte's University Area.
