Historic Sparty Mill | 100% Vacant 215 Bonview Ave

215 Bonview Avenue, the former Historic Sparty Mill, is the perfect investment just outside of Charlotte, North Carolina. The 145,500-square-foot warehouse spans two stories and 4.9 acres. Built in 1920, this asset is a staple of the Lincolnton community. 215 Bonview Avenue comes equipped with four dock doors, one grade door, 14-16 foot clear height, and 440 amps of power. Previously used as a yarn manufacturing building, the property has advantageous zoning. The GMC zoning (General Manufacturing and Commercial) is designed primarily for general commercial and industrial land uses. Potential uses include manufacturing, processing, and assembling of parts and products, distribution of products at wholesale and retail outlets, transportation terminals, various public and utility uses, and a wide variety of specialized commercial and industrial operations. Ownership has spent over $4 million on recent renovations.

The submarket has approximately 9.4 million square feet of logistics inventory, 450,000 square feet of flex inventory, and 3.6 million square feet of specialized inventory. Rents have changed by an impressive 4.6% year over year in Lincoln County. Annual rent growth of 4.6% in Lincoln County compares to the submarket's five-year average of 9.0% and its 10-year average of 7.3%.

Lincolntown benefits from its quick proximity to the Charlotte area. Charlotte regularly ranks as one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the United States. Thanks to a temperate climate and diverse economy, Charlotte has become a destination for newcomers from throughout the country. Since 2010, population growth here has doubled the national average, and the area has added more than 500,000 new residents. As home to the headquarters of Bank of America and Truist, as well as the largest employment center for Wells Fargo, the financial services industry is a key economic contributor. Historically, the region was home to the largest hub of textile manufacturing in the US. Siemens, Eli Lilly, and Daimler Trucks maintain manufacturing facilities here, and suppliers for major automotive production facilities nearby, such as BMW in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and Toyota’s new plant in Randolph County, North Carolina, regularly land in the Charlotte area. As a hub for American Airlines, Charlotte Douglas International Airport is one of the busiest in the country, with more than 700 flights per day.

215 Bonview Avenue is perfectly placed just 45 minutes northwest of Charlotte allowing quick and easy access to this major metro. Perched just off of W Main Street, the property quickly connects to Highway 321 and Interstate 85. Winston Salem, Raleigh, and beyond are also within reach of this asset, allowing for easy distribution. Lincoln County Airport is nearby, allowing for optionality depending on future use.

215 Bonview Avenue presents investors and owners/users with a blank canvas to meet their specific business needs.
