Newby Industrial Park Shares in the Development of South Huntsville’s Business
South Huntsville’s Newby Industrial Park is growing faster than expected due to market demand. Developers John Blue Realty has ramped up the completion date to the first quarter of 2022 in order to service more tenants in the one hundred thousand square foot development.
John Blue Realty acquired the property at the intersection of Newby Road and Bob Wallace in 2018 when it was still an abandoned trailer park. The purpose of the development was to turn the abandoned trailer park into an upscale industrial park built primarily of masonry.
The primary focus for the park has been on small trades and industries needing a small office footprint and storage ranging up to 2,500 feet or larger. When construction started in 2019, the plan was to build the park out in small segments over time as the market dictated. Due to increased demand, the construction of additional buildings is being moved up to early 2022.
Tenants can acquire space at Newby Park ranging from 2,500 square feet up to 40,000 square feet at the price of $9.50 per SF. The space can be custom built to fit the needs of each tenant and include features that are ideal for small manufacturing, workshops, distribution, breweries and other creative spaces. New tenants will be joining companies who already reside in the park such as Clear Defense Pest Control, Rocket City Deli Provisions and IERUS Technologies, among others.
Three buildings have been completed with a total of 35,000 square feet fully occupied. The fourth building of 12,500 square feet has been fully leased, and a fifth building of 45,000 feet is under design with strong interest in most all this building. Two additional buildings will also be added to the park.
When asked about the property, John Blue Realty expressed their interest in maintaining the site as a positive addition to south Huntsville.
“It is our intent to hold the property, as we do most all our development, for an extended period of time and build on our reputation to be a positive contributor to both the beauty of Huntsville, as well as its vitality.”
