“They not only acquired the land for us, but also put together the entire package: design, development, construction and financing. They enabled me to greenfield without having to hire outside consultants. They also helped our company work through rezoning, NCDOT approvals, Norfolk Southern rail spur and tax inducements.”

Builders FirstSource
Builders FirstSource, a leading supplier of structural building materials to homebuilders across the country, needed to significantly expand its office and warehouse space to keep pace with the rapidly growing homebuilding industry. In an effort to reduce shipping costs Builders FirstSource required a site with access to rail service. The following was accomplished:
- Acquired and master-planned a 50-acre rail-served site
- Extended utilities to the site
- Obtained an individual wetlands mitigation permit from the US Army Corp of Engineers for stream relocation; constructed an extended stormwater detention wetland
- In phase I-developed a 112,000 square foot office and distribution building and provided over 14 acres of heavy-duty asphalt for outside storage
- In phase II-added 60,000 square foot wall-panel production plant
MPV Properties predecessor, Merrifield Partners, delivered the project on time and on budget, meeting the client’s objectives by engineering a site that allowed the company to cost effectively move more inventory through the operation.
