One of the largest industrial developments in the Southeast is planned for one of the smallest counties in Georgia. Located on 1,560 acres in Lamar County on the outer southern fringes of the Atlanta metropolitan area, the development will include 19 million SF of industrial buildings, over 500 acres of commercial space, and 900 housing units. Plus, a 350-acre rock quarry will be a part of the project.

When completed, investment by the developer and companies that locate there will be "at least $2 billion," Tim Abney, a broker in the Atlanta office of KW Commercial told GlobeSt.com. Abney declined to name the developer but said it is a "local" one.

The planned complex, to be known as Legacy 75 Trade Center, will have two exits off I-75, a busy corridor that links the Georgia ports of Savannah and Brunswick with Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. It will follow the successful launch of River Park, another industrial site just one exit further north on I-75, which has a heavy e-commerce presence and where 12 of 16 sites have already been sold to users or developers, Abney said.
