CHARLOTTE-Wilton Connor is adding another 470,000 sf to its 1.5 million-sf inventory in and around Westlake Corporate Center in the city’s southwest submarket, according to a report in the Business Journal of Charlotte. The packaging company plans a spring ground-breaking at the 306-acre, 1.6 million-sf center.

Wilton Connor’s latest building is part of a larger expansion that could exceed $70 million in the next three to five years. The building could add as many as 300 new jobs to the company’s current payroll of 600 employees, according to company officials.

The business park, which could accommodate over over million sf of additional space, is being developed by Kirco Realty Services Group with Westlake owner Centex Development Co. of Dallas.
