YorK CoUntY
York County is long and lean, stretching 27 miles from Williamsburg to Hampton and covering 106 square miles. Due to its linear shape, York County resides in two distinct sub-markets of Hampton Roads. The “Upper County” sits adjacent to James City County and Williamsburg and is part of the Greater Williamsburg submarket. The “Lower County” is located adjacent to Hampton and Newport News and is part of the Peninsula submarket. Light industrial and office product are available in both the upper and lower county with great interstate access to I-64. These locations all benefit from York County’s low real estate taxes, well educated work force and superior municipal services.
Defense contractors interested in serving the growing military presence at Ft. Eustis will find multiple land and building options in the York River Commerce Park and Yorktown Commerce Center. These locations will provide direct four lane service to Ft. Eustis via Ft. Eustis Blvd. in November of 2011. The newest light industrial announcement is SB Cox’s purchase of 10 acres of county/EDA property to build a 30,000 sq. ft. construction and demolition debris recycling facility. This project will provide a needed service for local contractors and extend infrastructure to 11 acres owned by the EDA that will be marketed for additional light industrial development.
In 2010 the County approved its first mixed-use development. The project, called Nelson’s Grant, will consist of up to 66 townhomes, 46 residential condos, a 3,000 square foot community center and between 13,750 and 19,250 square feet of commercial space.
