CONCORD ó Stanley Steemer has purchased 2.5 acres in the International Business Park off Interstate 85 to build a satellite facility that will employ 30 to 35 people.
Steven Rohletter owns the the Stanley Steemer franchise which serves multiple counties in the Charlotte market.
Rohletter plans to build a 12,000-square-foot building and picked the International Business Park because of its easy access to clients in Concord, Davidson, Cornelius and other locations north of Charlotte.
“Not only will this location allow us better serve our expanding client base, but we found the workforce in Cabarrus County attractive for our expansion,” Rohletter said in a press release.
Stanley Steemer will operate 13 trucks from the facility and plans to hire 30 to 35 people. The firm plans to break ground within a year and complete the facility in two years.
“Stanley Steemer’s choice of the International Business Park really showcases the flexibility of the location,” said Anne Johnson, senior vice president of CB Richard Ellis, who brokered the deal on behalf of the Nolim Group, which owns the park. “They will gain access to the I-77 and I-85 corridor and will also be able to build a suitable facility to protect their significant capital investments.”
Bryan Crutcher, vice president of CB Richard Ellis, also represented the International Business Park, and Ian Bertolina of Bertolina Commercial Real Estate Services served as the broker for Stanley Steemer.
Rohletter started the Charlotte Stanley Steemer in 1997 and currently employs 79.
Currently, the International Business Park is home to Owens Corning, Minka, DNP IMS America Corp., Sysco Food Service of Charlotte, Pass & Seymour/Legrand, FedEx, Oiles America Corp. and ESP Associates.
Currently, more than 300 acres are available throughout the park, and a 74,000-square-foot spec building is available for leasing and custom upfitting. The Nolim Group is ready to work together on land sales, leasing or build-to-suit projects.
