With the new inland port, which is under construction north of Gainesville, in mind, Alliance Industrial Company plans to break ground this year a new business park in Flowery Branch.
Alliance 985 Business Park, a two-building complex, is slated to be finished early next year at 3605 Atlanta Highway. The first building will be 113,536 square feet, and the second will be 426,872 square feet.
Alliance 985 Business Park boasts seamless access to I-985 and I-85, which, coupled with its proximity to the new Northeast Georgia Inland Port and access to a deep labor pool, makes it one of the most well-positioned products to launch in recent months, according to Chris Hoag, CCIM, senior associate, Capital Markets Group, Avison Young.
“This is extremely attractive to industrial users in the market today, especially as new product supply across the Southeast has dwindled due to elevated construction costs and heightened interest rates,” Hoag added.
Addressing the importance of the new inland port and the state as a whole in the decision to construct the new business park, Hoag said “the Port of Savannah’s rapid growth, the (state’s) nation-leading business-friendly environment, and the state’s growing population will continue solidifying that position.” He also noted that logistics hubs such as UPS and FedEx are nearby, and the Northeast Georgia Inland Port will provide a direct rail link to Savannah via Norfolk Southern.
