WILMINGTON – Crews have started building a second industrial facility at Wilmington Trade Center on U.S. 421 in New Hanover County, expecting to add supply to a busy real estate sector.
Edgewater Ventures, in partnership with Wilmington-based McKinley Building Corp., recently completed the first 157,610-square-foot building at the center and construction is underway on Building 2, a virtually identical structure, according to a news release Thursday.
Chris Norvell, of Edgewater Ventures, said the second building would help its developers "capitalize on the momentum in the park with our recent leases to PaperFoam and Coastal Carrier.”
