Merritt Properties has broken ground on RDU Business Park, a 150-acre light industrial development located just three miles from Raleigh-Durham International Airport in Morrisville, North Carolina, within the Town of Cary. Upon completion, the development will encompass up to 13 single-story industrial buildings totaling 790,527 square feet. With construction now underway on the first phase, Merritt’s North Carolina portfolio will grow to more than 1.35 million square feet across six business parks.
The West Phase, the project’s first 31-acre section, will include three single-story light industrial buildings totaling 201,250 square feet. Scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2027, the buildings are available for preleasing and are designed to accommodate a wide range of industrial, warehouse and distribution users seeking flexible, high-quality space in one of the Southeast’s fastest-growing markets.
“We’ve continued to grow our presence in North Carolina because we believe in the strength and future of this market,” said Keith Wallace, regional director of Merritt Properties’ North Carolina office. “The West Phase is the first step in delivering a premier shallow-bay industrial park that will meet growing demand and support the next wave of business growth across the Triangle.”
“The construction of RDU Business Park combines exceptional connectivity with flexible space where companies can put down roots, build their teams, and grow,” said Scot Berry, Cary’s assistant town manager and chief development officer. “We’re excited to see this project break ground, helping more businesses choose Cary and remain here as they provide jobs and opportunities for our community.”…
