Description
Seize a rare, large-scale opportunity to develop at the absolute pinnacle of East Coast shipping and travel. This premier 18.25-acre tract is strategically positioned along East Lee Highway in Max Meadows, Virginia, directly at Exit 84 where I-81 South and I-77 North overlap. For developers looking for a massive footprint, an additional 17.25 acres can be assembled beside it, creating a combined development canvas of approximately 35.5 contiguous acres. Located within Southwest Virginia's most critical growth corridor, this site offers unparalleled advantages for industrial logistics, high-volume retail, hospitality, or travel services. The Strategic Advantage: By The Numbers Total Available Acreage: 18.25 Acres (Expandable up to 35.5 Contiguous Acres) Daily Traffic Count (AADT): 55,000 to 60,000+ vehicles daily at the Exit 84 concurrency. Unrivaled Truck Density: 25% to 30% of all daily traffic consists of heavy commercial semi-trucks (~11,000 to 16,500+ trucks passing daily). Passenger Car Equivalent: Due to the rolling terrain and heavy truck mix, VDOT estimates the corridor’s operational volume is equivalent to 75,000+ passenger cars daily. Zoning: No County Zoning Restrictions—ultimate development freedom. Dual-Market Investment Potential 1. Logistics, Industrial, & Freight Powerhouse This corridor acts as the premier hub for East Coast logistics, seamlessly connecting the Midwest and Great Lakes (via I-77) to the Piedmont region and Northeast (via I-81). Truck density along this specific interstate configuration is among the highest in the nation. Ideal For: Regional high-throughput distribution centers, fleet parking, truck repair facilities, industrial manufacturing campuses, or flex-space warehouses. Regional Anchor Proximity: Positioned as an ideal supporting commercial site or high-visibility satellite location for companies tracking into Progress Park, Wythe County’s premier 1,200-acre industrial park (home to major global operations like Gatorade/PepsiCo). 2. Retail, Hospitality, & Travel Services Because of the strategic highway split and high-volume tourist flow, this site "double-dips" into two massive customer bases: north-south vacationers/commuters and northeast-southwest logistics traffic. Ideal For: QSR (fast-food) chains, major travel plazas, fuel stations, and hospitality/hotel developments looking to capture captive interstate traffic. Established Synergy: Capitalizes on a strong, proven lineup of national chains operating successfully along this immediate interstate corridor.
