Description

Manufacturing Facility for Sale - 523 Flitter Hill Road, Whiteville, NC 42,000 Sq. Ft. Fully Conditioned Former Manufacturing Building on 12 Acres This exceptional industrial property offers an immediate opportunity for manufacturers seeking a move-in-ready facility with significant expansion potential. Never flooded, the building features 15-foot clear ceilings, four dock-high doors, abundant electrical power (including a bus panel running across the middle), and a fully conditioned interior--ideal for production, assembly, or distribution operations. The building envelope consists of durable brick and block construction on three sides with metal siding on the fourth, providing a strong, low-maintenance structure and excellent potential for future expansion onto the expansive 12-acre site. Proven Manufacturing History Formerly home to Franklin Electric, where baseboard heaters were manufactured, the facility later housed a meat production operation. At its peak, the site supported 150 full-time employees across three shifts (50 per shift), demonstrating its capacity for high-volume, multi-shift production. Strategic Location & Economic Advantages Located in Columbus County, a Tier 1 County in North Carolina, this property qualifies for attractive state and local economic development incentives, including grants, tax credits, and workforce training support for companies that create jobs. Whiteville offers a strong labor pool, competitive operating costs, and convenient access to major transportation routes. Whether you're looking to relocate, expand, or establish a new manufacturing operation, this versatile facility delivers the space, infrastructure, power, and incentives needed to hit the ground running and scale efficiently. Serious inquiries invited. Contact us today to schedule a private tour of this rare manufacturing opportunity in southeastern North Carolina.
