Baltimore developer Obrecht Properties is making a sizable play in southeastern North Carolina, rolling out a roughly 325,000-square-foot industrial project at the Gateway at Military Business Park in Fayetteville. The complex is pitched as an answer to a local crunch in modern flex and small-bay industrial space near Fort Bragg, sitting next door to a massive Amazon fulfillment campus and aimed at logistics operators, light manufacturers and military contractors that need quick access to the post. The developer says the project is designed to give tenants move-in ready options close to both the base and key regional transport routes.
As first reported by The Business Journals, Obrecht has filed plans for the roughly 325,000-square-foot phase at the Fayetteville site. The Baltimore-based firm, which has a long-running development and management business in its home market, highlights its industrial and flex experience and capabilities on its company website.
Project Specs and Location
The development is being marketed as The Gateway at Military Business Park at 2755 Procurement Circle, with offering materials showing a total property size of about 325,550 square feet. According to the project's leasing brochure, phase one is slated to deliver two flex buildings of roughly 28,000 square feet each, plus an additional structure of about 57,500 square feet. Units are planned to be divisible to 2,500 square feet and feature 18-foot clear heights, 3-phase power, drive-in doors and wet sprinkler systems. The brochure also lists asking rents at roughly $18.50 per square foot (NNN), positioning the complex for a mix of small industrial, light assembly and distribution tenants. Detailed specs and the site plan are laid out in materials from ZoomProspector.
Why Developers Are Betting on Fort Bragg Adjacency
The site’s draw is boosted by its neighbor: Amazon’s nearby fulfillment complex, a 1.3 million-square-foot operations campus that local reporting says has already reshaped demand along Bragg Boulevard. WRAL has noted the Amazon facility’s scale and hiring push, which in turn has encouraged suppliers and third-party logistics firms to hunt for smaller, close-in footprints. Regional industrial trackers are also showing a rebound in Southeast industrial leasing and falling vacancy in early 2026, trends developers point to when moving into secondary logistics corridors and military-adjacent markets. That broader market momentum is summarized in a Q1 2026 Southeast industrial report from Cornovus Capital.
What Comes Next
Commercial marketing materials indicate that the Gateway buildings are being offered for pre-lease while site work and initial deliveries are scheduled through 2026, with brokers actively courting logistics users, defense-supply firms and light-industrial tenants. Availability, floor plans and broker contacts are detailed on Crexi. How quickly the space is absorbed will determine whether the project actually relieves the tight small-bay market near Fort Bragg or functions more as added staging and supplier space for the Amazon campus and military contractors circling the area.
