What We Acquire
Commercial Land We Acquire in North Carolina
Commercial land parcels, IOS lots, and development-ready sites across North Carolina.
Roth Capital acquires commercial land and development sites in the $500K-$5M range across North Carolina for value-add repositioning. We are direct buyers, meaning we move quickly and efficiently without the uncertainty of traditional market sales.
When evaluating land parcels, we focus on:
1. Market location and tenant demand fundamentals
2. Operational efficiency and upside potential
3. Capital expenditure requirements and returns on repositioning
4. Lease structures and tenant quality/stability
5. Opportunity to improve revenue or reduce expenses through active management
We are disciplined about valuation and structure, but we are also flexible. If your land parcel has strong development potential and the market positioning is sound, we will work to find a deal structure that works for both sides.

Direct Sale Advantage
Direct Sale vs. Traditional Broker
Selling your North Carolina commercial land directly to Roth Capital eliminates the cost, uncertainty, and timeline of a brokered transaction. No listing, no showings, no re-trades.
Direct Decision Maker
No Investment Committee. No Analysts. No Delays.
Many buyers operate through acquisition teams and investment committees. That process can take weeks — and often leads to price reductions or cancelled deals after months of due diligence.
At Roth Capital, the person evaluating your property is the same person making the offer and signing at closing. There is no committee vote, no analyst review, and no approval chain.
One decision maker. One conversation. A straight answer within 48 hours.
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

North Carolina Market
North Carolina Commercial Land Market
North Carolina’s commercial land market is driven by strong demand across multiple corridors, with Charlotte, Raleigh, and the Triad all seeing rising land valuations. Industrial and commercial parcels range from $200K-$375K per acre across major metros, with premium sites near logistics hubs commanding higher values.
Industrial outdoor storage has emerged as a high-demand use case across North Carolina, with developers seeking 2-10 acre parcels near logistics corridors. The I-85 corridor from Charlotte through the Triad, the I-40 corridor through Raleigh, and coastal corridors near Wilmington all present strong IOS opportunities.
North Carolina’s industrial zoning frameworks across most municipalities accommodate outdoor storage with appropriate setbacks and screening. Entitled parcels near distribution hubs, technology parks, and major highway interchanges benefit from development-ready positioning.
Major infrastructure investment continues across North Carolina — from I-485 expansion in Charlotte to Research Triangle transit improvements to port-connected corridors in Wilmington. These projects support long-term land appreciation.

Entitled commercial land supply across NC
Demand across North Carolina 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
Charlotte Metro & I-85 Corridor
Infill land in Ballantyne, Pineville, and South End is among the most sought-after in the metro. Zoning complexity and limited remaining parcels make entitled sites especially valuable. Developers are paying premium prices for shovel-ready commercial and mixed-use land here.
2
Raleigh-Durham & Research Triangle
Huntersville, Cornelius, and Davidson are absorbing residential and commercial development at a rapid pace. Land along the I-77 corridor is in high demand from national retailers, medical users, and multifamily developers following rooftop growth.
3
Greensboro-Triad & Piedmont
Industrial-zoned land along the interstate interchange is increasingly scarce as logistics operators and distribution centers expand. Parcels with utility infrastructure and freight access command strong pricing from developers who can’t build fast enough to meet demand.
4
Wilmington & Coastal NC
One of the last affordable corridors in Mecklenburg County for commercial land. Rezoning activity is increasing as the city pushes development eastward. Investors are targeting underutilized parcels for redevelopment as infrastructure improvements connect this corridor to Uptown.
5
Asheville & Western NC
CLT airport expansion is driving significant land value appreciation in surrounding areas. Commercial and industrial parcels near the airport benefit from logistics demand, cargo operations, and the growing workforce supporting airport-adjacent businesses.
Market Timing
When to Sell Commercial Land in North Carolina
Several market dynamics make this an optimal window for North Carolina commercial land owners considering a sale.
Supply-Demand Imbalance
Population growth across North Carolina continues to outpace new commercial construction. This gap creates pricing power for owners of existing well-located properties. Selling into this structural imbalance commands stronger valuations.
Replacement Cost Thesis
Land and construction costs in North Carolina have risen 40-60% since 2019. For owners of well-maintained properties, your existing asset may trade at or near what it would cost to build new. That gap strongly favors sellers.
Rate Environment Uncertainty
Interest rates remain elevated, compressing buyer pools for brokered deals. Direct buyers like Roth Capital have capital in place and do not depend on bank financing. Selling directly removes rate-driven deal risk entirely.
Interest Rate Environment
North Carolina continues to rank among the fastest-growing states in the country. Charlotte, Raleigh, and the Triangle are adding rooftops and businesses at a pace that sustains long-term commercial property demand.
Population Growth Tailwind
Retail vacancy below 4%, industrial vacancy tightening, and record population growth — North Carolina’s commercial fundamentals are strong across asset classes. Sellers who move now benefit from this cycle’s strength.
Why Direct Sale Wins in NC
Broker-listed deals in North Carolina can take 6-12 months while competing against newly constructed Class A assets. A direct sale to Roth Capital removes that friction. We make a firm offer based on actual operating data, close in weeks, and pay no commissions.

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.

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 the 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
North Carolina’s new construction pipeline 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 like North Carolina, 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. 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 North Carolina 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.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Commercial Land in North Carolina
What size land parcels does Roth Capital purchase?
We typically acquire land between 1 and 10 acres, depending on location and highest and best use. Industrial outdoor storage sites, infill commercial parcels, and development-ready land within our target corridors are ideal candidates. Land larger than 10 acres may fit our portfolio if location and price align with our development strategy.
Do we need to have zoning and environmental approvals before selling?
No. Unlike brokers and traditional buyers, we can acquire land without final zoning or environmental entitlements. We evaluate the development potential and can manage the approval process post-acquisition. If you have a site that needs rezoning or environmental review, contact us with site details and we’ll provide a confidential assessment.
How quickly can you close on a land purchase?
Our typical closing timeline is 30 to 60 days from accepted offer to close. We maintain flexible terms and can accommodate owner financing, earnouts, or alternative structures if the property and terms align with our acquisition criteria. Speed and certainty are competitive advantages we offer to land sellers.
What markets in North Carolina do you cover?
We acquire commercial land across all major NC markets including Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, Asheville, Wilmington, and Fayetteville. We also look at secondary markets along the I-85, I-77, and I-40 corridors.
