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.
