Improved Commercial Land for Sale in Smithfield, North Carolina
230 N Equity Dr, Smithfield, NC 27577
Exceptional commercial opportunity in Johnston County's premier retail corridor -- 15,616 SF building situated directly adjacent to Carolina Premium Outlets and Smithfield Cinemas on US-301, with immediate I-95 access at Exit 95. Formerly home to the Johnston County Board of Education, this property sits on 2.42 acres with a circle drive, 71 parking spaces (4.5/1,000 SF), and one roll-up door -- a versatile combination rarely found in this market. The interior is a blank canvas ready for a visionary buyer's build-to-suit vision. Top uses include specialty retail or showroom, event/conference space, medical or professional office, and government or creative studio. Zoned CX/B1. The location is unmatched. More than 10 national-brand hotels -- Hampton Inn, Tru by Hilton, Fairfield by Marriott, Holiday Inn Express, Country Inn & Suites, and more -- along with a dense restaurant corridor including Cracker Barrel, Golden Corral, Panera Bread, and the Old North State Food Hall. Johnston County has grown 47.9% since 2010 -- faster than Wake, Durham, and Orange counties -- and demand for commercial space is outpacing supply.
