The facility will serve as a centralized hub for Southwire’s distribution and shipping activities in West Georgia, combining the operations of the company’s three existing distribution sites in Villa Rica, Ga.

The new development, which will become one of Southwire’s largest facilities, is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2026. A year ago, Southwire opened a distribution center in Dallas-Fort Worth.

Georgia continues to bolster its status as the epicenter of industrial real estate in the Southeast due to textbook key factors such as extensive infrastructure connectivity, numerous ports and intermodal terminals, as well as business-friendly state policies, according to Avison Young’s Chris Hoag, CCIM.

“National capital market investors who activate these distribution centers and industrial projects have taken a keen interest in Georgia as they look to capitalize on the Southeast region’s continued population growth,” Hoag said.

Spec industrial projects meet rising demand

In January, Hoag and his colleagues Jason Holland, CCIM, and Andrew Joyner, CCIM, arranged the sale of 66.8 acres of land near the new Northeast Georgia Inland Port on behalf of the buyer, Alliance Industrial Co., for the development of two speculative industrial buildings totaling 540,408 square feet. Building 100 will be 113,536 square feet, and Building 200 will be 426,872 square feet.

To be named Alliance 985 Business Park, Alliance will break ground on the project in the first quarter of 2025 and is slated to deliver in early 2026. Alliance 985 Business Park is designed to meet the increasing demand for industrial space, featuring clear heights of 32 and 40 feet and ample auto and trailer parking.

With immediate access to I-985 and within 15 miles of I-85, it is well-connected to local, regional and national distribution channels. Tenants will benefit from proximity to key logistics hubs such as UPS and FedEx, while the Northeast Georgia Inland Port directly links to the Port of Savannah through Norfolk Southern.
