Two large, multi-story office buildings near Interstate 77 in Fort Mill could be demolished to make way for warehouses.
Foundry Commercial applied to rezone 32 acres at 3476, 3480 and 3560 Stateview Blvd. for light industrial use. The Lakemont East properties near Carowinds include Wells Fargo Home Mortgage buildings. A concept plan submitted to York County planners shows three new buildings that would replace the offices, at almost 460,000 square feet combined.
That construction would be about 33% larger than the office space there now.
The York County planning commission held a light discussion on the proposal Monday night before unanimously recommending in favor of the rezoning.
York County Council will make that final decision. Further details on the new construction would come when the property owner submits plans for it that have to go through the civil review process, said county planning manager Diane Dil.

One of the existing buildings was completed in 2002. Dallas, Texas-based Lexington Fort Mill LLC bought the three-story, almost 172,000-square-foot structure from Charlotte-based Crescent Resources (now Crescent Communities ) in December of that year for more than $17.9 million.
