Industrial Redevelopment Proposed at 8309 Wilkinson Blvd.

Green Dock Partners proposes redeveloping the former DyStar plant at 8309 Wilkinson Blvd. in west Charlotte into industrial space. This is the project's first appearance in development tracking records.

DyStar, a textile dye and chemical manufacturer, previously operated a plant on the site. The project is classified as a transaction in tracking records, indicating a property deal tied to the redevelopment. County records show the 62-acre site sold for $7.2 million on Sept. 9, 2026.

The site has direct access to Wilkinson Boulevard, with connections to I-485 and Billy Graham Parkway. Charlotte Douglas International Airport sits less than three miles southeast. The corridor has drawn steady industrial investment on airport and interstate proximity.

The project remains in the proposed stage. Site plan review and permitting come next before construction can begin.

Correction, Oct. 21, 2026: An earlier version of this story said the plan calls for 250,000 square feet of industrial space and put the airport two miles west. No source supports that figure, and the airport is southeast of the site.
