Construction is well underway on the final undeveloped site in the Pineville industrial corridor in the Charlotte metro area.

The last large-scale development there, the Pineville Distribution Center, will be a 194K SF Class-A industrial facility some 15 miles south of Charlotte, according to a Jan. 26 press release from Iconic Equities.

Iconic Equities, a Miami-based industrial real estate investment firm, led rezoning efforts for the center last year along with Shoreline Capital. Along with Iconic Overlook Ventures and LaSalle Investment Management, Iconic Equities is developing the project.

Iconic Equities CEO Tim Bishop declined to provide details on the price tag for the development.

The 15-acre site is at 10203 Pineville Distribution St. on 15 acres in Mecklenburg County, with good access to I-485 and I-77.

The new facility will reportedly be used as a build-to-suit warehouse for distribution. Construction began in November and is expected to be completed later this year.

“Being the last available site adds scarcity value,” Bishop said in an email. “And the location is already proven, with major tenants in the nearby Carolina Logistics Park.”

The 288-acre Carolina Logistics Park features a 525K SF distribution center for Campbell Snacks and a 526K SF Amazon facility.

Beacon Properties developed the nearby logistics park, which has more than 3M SF of industrial space, and last year sold much of it amid deals totaling some $500M.

“The Charlotte market is experiencing exceptional demand for high-quality industrial properties, fueled by population growth, e-commerce expansion, and regional manufacturing strength,” Bishop said.

Industrial vacancy in the Charlotte metro area dropped at the end of last year to 7.5%, according to CBRE, backed by 2.3M SF of net absorption. For the year, tenants took 9.5M SF more than they vacated in the metro area.

CBRE's outlook for 2026 predicts a 5% year-over-year increase in national industrial leasing activity to nearly 1B SF.
