A newly issued commercial permit valued at $7 million authorizes construction of a new office and warehouse building for food industry operator Concept Foods within the Durham 85 development. The project, identified as Building 7 Storage (2), adds to the growing roster of industrial and logistics facilities taking shape in one of the greater Greenville area's expanding business park corridors.
What the Permits Show
The commercial building permit covers construction of a combined office and warehouse facility for Concept Foods. Designated as Building 7 Storage (2), the project is situated within Durham 85, a business park development positioned along the Interstate 85 corridor. The $7 million valuation places it among the larger individual commercial permits issued in the area recently, reflecting the scale of the planned structure and its fit-out requirements for food industry operations.
The permit signals that the Durham 85 development continues to attract tenants and investment, with Concept Foods joining other commercial operators building out space in the park. The combination of office and warehouse functions in a single building suggests the facility will serve both administrative and distribution or storage needs for the company's food operations.
Why It Matters
The $7 million Concept Foods project reinforces the Durham 85 corridor's role as a magnet for industrial and logistics investment in the greater Greenville region. Food industry operators require specialized warehouse and storage infrastructure, and the decision by Concept Foods to build a dedicated facility in this business park points to continued demand for purpose-built commercial space along the I-85 corridor. As Durham 85 adds square footage with projects like Building 7 Storage (2), the development strengthens its position as a hub for companies that need proximity to major transportation routes and flexible space that blends office and warehouse functions under one roof.
