The former Neese's Country Sausage distribution warehouse in NoDa has a new owner. Browder Brown, a Charlotte-based firm, acquired the 0.82-acre property at 2604 N. Davidson St. after the site had been listed for sale.
A Discount From the Original Asking Price
The warehouse had been listed for sale at $2.85 million before Browder Brown's purchase, according to Charlotte Observer reporting from this past August. That earlier listing, handled through commercial real estate firm CBRE, described the parcel as roughly 0.823 acres spanning 2604 N. Davidson St. and 613 Jordan Pl., zoned TOD-NC. Browder Brown's acquisition was first reported by The Business Journals.
Browder Brown, which is based in Charlotte, told the outlet that the site's existing transit-oriented zoning designation would accommodate any future development it may plan there. The firm did not detail a specific redevelopment project, timetable or investment figure, and those specifics have not been independently verified elsewhere.
Neese's Brand Changed Hands Earlier This Year
The warehouse sale comes amid a broader shake-up for the Neese's brand itself. After months of product shortages, Jesse Jones became Neese's new owner in a sale announced in June, the Charlotte Observer reported; White Packing is Jesse Jones's parent company. The company's Greensboro facility had received positive tests for listeria in multiple locations on Sept. 3, 2025, according to the same outlet's reporting.
Part of a Pattern for the Buyer
The NoDa purchase isn't Browder Brown's only recent move into Charlotte-area real estate. The firm also acquired the former Beauregard's Restaurant site on Freedom Drive in west Charlotte for $1 million back in August, eyeing redevelopment there as well, per the earlier Business Journals report. The NoDa deal also lands amid continued investor interest in the broader corridor; Northmarq facilitated the $12.4 million sale of the nearby Atando Noda development site in February, a transaction the brokerage says it handled for a multifamily land deal in the area.
For now, the fate of the old Neese's warehouse remains an open question. Any future construction or land-use change would still need to move through official channels.
