Nestled in the beautiful foothills of the North Carolina Piedmont, Kings Mountain is an emerging hotspot for both residents and investors. Over the past decade, the city has undergone significant transformation, with millions of dollars in private and public investments fueling its growth. From housing developments to industrial expansions, Kings Mountain is quickly becoming one of the most exciting areas in the region, with a bright future ahead for those who choose to invest in this rapidly growing market.
This 0.53-acre lot located at the intersection of York Road and East Gold Street offers a prime development opportunity in the heart of the city’s growth corridor. Zoned AU (Auto-Urban Commercial), the property is ideally suited for commercial or residential development, providing flexible options for businesses and developers. The site is flat and has excellent visibility and accessibility, positioned at a signalized intersection with high traffic volume. The property’s proximity to both I-85 and NC Hwy 74 gives it unmatched access to key transportation routes, further enhancing its appeal for potential development.
In recent years, Kings Mountain has attracted significant investment, with over $23 million in private funds and $35 million in public investments. The city is also seeing the arrival of new businesses and industries, further fueling the area’s growth and increasing property values. Nationally recognized brands such as Utz Quality Foods, Newell Brands, and Hanes Brands have established operations nearby, creating thousands of jobs and driving economic development. The expanding industrial sector, including over 2.5 million square feet of new industrial space under construction or proposed within five miles, positions Kings Mountain as a hub for both commercial and industrial enterprises.
One of the key drivers of the region’s growth is its proximity to Charlotte, one of the largest and fastest-growing cities in the southeastern United States. As the city continues to expand, Kings Mountain benefits from its close location to the metropolitan area, offering a more affordable cost of living while still providing easy access to Charlotte’s job market, amenities, and cultural offerings. This makes Kings Mountain an attractive destination for both new residents and businesses looking to capitalize on the expanding opportunities in the area.
The Kings Mountain area is also home to a rapidly growing housing market, with new developments catering to both affordable single-family homes and upscale properties. This diverse market makes the region attractive to a broad range of homebuyers, from first-time buyers to retirees and everyone in between. Whether you're looking to build single-family homes, apartments, or mixed-use developments, Kings Mountain offers a robust market with strong demand for new housing.
The property’s location in a vibrant and growing community ensures that it will continue to appreciate in value as the area attracts more investment, development, and residents. With its prime location, flexible zoning, and proximity to major highways, this lot is a valuable asset for anyone looking to capitalize on the growing demand for real estate in the Kings Mountain region.
