Four lots remain undeveloped at the Summit Corporate Center Site. The lots are all less than 2 acres. The largest is 1.96 acres. The smallest is 1.19 acres.
A large portion of land next to the already developed space remains empty, but is shown on site plans as a potential phase 2 of development.
Summit Corporate Center is one of the most financially significant construction projects that have occurred to date in 2015. Less than a mile away, the headquarters of Agility Fuel Systems is also among the most financially significant construction projects.
Rowan County Commissioners approved the project in late 2014. Construction began shortly after.
