Recent Acquisitions
Properties We’ve Acquired
Real deals. Real problems solved. Here’s how we’ve helped commercial property owners move forward.
Commercial Land — 10 acres
NC – Along I-85
Vacant commercial parcel
The seller of this 10 acre parcel off I-85 wanted a quick closing without rezoning or entitlements. We were able to give them a cash offer based on the existing agriculture land value and close in a few weeks. The seller had sold off a portion of the land to another developer years ago and had no interest in developing it or waiting for it to be rezoned or entitled. We purchased as-is, updated entitlements, and moved forward with our development plan.
Industrial Land — 5.8 acres
Acquired Q3 2025
Industrial-zoned land
6 acres of industrial-zoned land in the Charlotte metro. The partnership that owned it had been trying to sell for two years through a broker with no success. We closed in 45 days with no financing contingency.
Infill Commercial Land — 6 acres
Infill development site
6-acre infill parcel in South Carolina zoned for commercial use. We completed Phase I due diligence, confirmed no issues, and closed on schedule. The seller avoided months of re-listing uncertainty.
General Business Vacant Land — 10 Acres
Vacant commercial land
We purchased this 10 acre site that was listed with a broker. We completed a survey and our entitlement work and we closed on time and as promised

Asheville Market
Asheville Commercial Land Market
Asheville’s commercial land market offers exceptional value relative to the Southeast. Land averages $5,000-$30,000 per acre depending on location and development status. The Haywood Road corridor has seen 9% appreciation in commercial values over the past year, while downtown has shifted toward commercial-to-residential conversions. Industrial development is concentrated along major transportation corridors with sewer access.
Asheville’s outdoor storage market is nascent but growing. The city’s tourism and distribution economy requires secure storage for seasonal inventory and logistics operations. IOS operators can capture niche demand in the Blue Ridge market without competing against larger regional players.
Asheville’s Unified Development Ordinances support concentrated industrial development along major corridors. The city uses overlay districts to manage aesthetic and environmental impacts while permitting industrial uses in designated areas.
I-40 provides the primary east-west corridor. The Blue Ridge region’s emerging tech and logistics sectors support industrial land appreciation. Local infrastructure improvements continue in target corridors.

Low vacancy with limited new supply
Demand is driven by population growth, infrastructure investment, and expanding commercial development. Construction costs surging 40-60% since 2019 have made entitled land increasingly valuable as developers seek shovel-ready sites.
Key Submarkets
1
Downtown / River Arts District
Land in downtown Asheville is among the most constrained in western North Carolina. The South Slope and River Arts District have transformed from industrial to mixed-use, with remaining parcels commanding premium prices. Mountainous topography, strict zoning, and historic preservation requirements limit new supply, making any developable land extremely valuable.
2
South Asheville / Biltmore
The Biltmore Village area and South Asheville corridor along Hendersonville Road benefit from tourism traffic, estate visitors, and strong local demographics. Commercial pad sites are in demand from restaurant, hospitality, and specialty retail users. The limited flat topography in this corridor concentrates development pressure on available parcels.
3
West Asheville / Enka-Candler
The I-26 corridor connecting Asheville to Hendersonville and the regional airport has seen significant industrial and logistics development. Commercial land near the Asheville Regional Airport and along Long Shoals Road attracts distribution, flex, and light industrial users. This corridor benefits from the strongest highway access in the metro.
4
Fletcher / Airport / Arden
West Asheville has evolved into one of the metro’s most desirable neighborhoods for commercial investment. Land along Haywood Road and the Patton Avenue corridor benefits from strong foot traffic, density, and a thriving local business scene. Infill parcels are scarce and rezoning for commercial use is increasingly competitive.
5
East Asheville / Swannanoa
The Tunnel Road and Swannanoa River corridor is Asheville’s primary retail and service commercial district east of downtown. Land along I-240 and US-70 benefits from regional traffic patterns and proximity to both the VA Medical Center and commercial services. Available parcels with proper zoning and topography are limited.
Market Timing
When to Sell Commercial Land in Asheville
Several market dynamics make this an optimal window for Asheville commercial land owners considering a sale.
Supply Constraints Create Structural Value
Asheville geography and zoning create a natural floor on property values. Unlike larger metros where new construction can satisfy demand, Asheville faces limited development capacity. This means your existing property is less vulnerable to obsolescence from new competitive supply.
Tourism Recovery Post-Helene
Hurricane Helene caused significant damage in fall 2024 with $1.2B in rebuilding costs. The region is actively recovering, with visitor spending projected to grow 3.5% in 2025 and 5.2% in 2026. For tourism-dependent properties, this recovery creates attractive exit timing.
Illiquidity vs. Institutional Markets
Asheville commercial market is significantly less liquid than Charlotte or Raleigh. Broker-listed properties often remain on market 12+ months. Direct buyers like Roth Capital have capital deployed locally and can close efficiently.
Pratt & Whitney Expansion Tailwind
The 2025 announcement of $285 million Pratt & Whitney expansion (325 new jobs) is a significant positive signal for Asheville economy. Owners of industrial, manufacturing, and logistics properties should consider timing — buyer interest is high.
Construction Cost Inflation in Mountains
Building in Asheville terrain is expensive. Land preparation, foundation work, and labor costs are higher than flat markets. This elevated replacement cost supports valuations for existing properties as construction costs continue climbing.
Industrial Scarcity Premium
With industrial vacancy at critically low 3.0% and topographic constraints limiting new supply, existing industrial and flex assets command scarcity premiums. This window may compress as new post-Helene construction completes.

Life Changes
Selling Because Something Changed? You’re Not Alone.
Most owners don’t sell because they want to. They sell because the property or the situation around it changed. If any of the scenarios below sound familiar, a direct, as-is sale may be the fastest path to certainty.
Get a confidential offer
Or call/text 704-600-3839
Common scenario
Tired of Managing It
Commercial properties can drift when management, maintenance, or collections slip–even if the location is solid. If you’re dealing with constant tenant issues, selling can be the reset.
Common scenario
Tenant Leaving or Lease Rollover
With pandemic-era tech leases maturing across Western North Carolina in 2025-2027, rollover risk is real. Selling while income is still in place commands stronger pricing than carrying vacancy through a re-leasing cycle — especially if tenant improvements are needed.
Common scenario
Vacancy or Deferred Maintenance
Asheville’s changing market means tenants have options. If your building needs repairs, capex, or a lease-up plan to compete, that investment may not pencil. We buy as-is–vacant, partially occupied, or with deferred maintenance–so you can exit without funding improvements.
Common scenario
1031 Exchange Timing
When you’re up against exchange deadlines, certainty matters more than “testing the market.” We can move quickly and coordinate with your qualified intermediary to keep timing tight (confirm with your tax advisor).
Common scenario
Partnership Disagreement
When partners disagree on hold vs. sell, reinvest vs. cash out, the property stalls. In a market moving as fast as Asheville, indecision costs money. A direct sale converts an illiquid asset into clear proceeds and lets everyone move forward.
Common scenario
Estate or Inherited Land
Inherited properties often come with unclear records, deferred maintenance, or multiple decision makers who may not be local to Asheville. We keep the process simple and coordinate with attorneys and executors for a clean closing.
Common scenario
Quiet, Off-Market Exit
In a market like Asheville where competitors, tenants, and employees monitor listings closely, some owners value privacy. If you want a discreet sale with clear terms and no public listing, a direct acquisition is the simplest path.
Common scenario
Loan Maturity or Refinance Pressure
If your note is coming due, today’s rate environment can change the refinance math quickly–DSCR, reserves, lender requirements. Selling before a maturity deadline protects value and avoids last-minute concessions to lenders.

Absolutely. We purchase commercial land as-is — deferred maintenance, needed capital improvements, or operational issues are all things we underwrite and handle. You do not need to make repairs or improvements before selling.
