Phase I
www.northpointebusinesspark.comNorth Pointe is a master-planned business park catering to industrial users. It offers state-of-the-art speculative buildings, land and building ownership opportunities, and build-to-suit options.
The Parnagians, a local farming family, own the land that this 230-acre project sits on. They waited for years until the timing was right to develop this industrial park. In early 2006, they broke ground on the first 70 acres.
Corporate Express Document & Print Management, Inc.is the first tenant in the new park. They signed a lease for a 110,500 square foot build-to-suit, with room for an additional 50,000 square foot expansion.
