Flint Development Receives Approval for New Industrial Facility at Patriot 95 in Thornburg, VA

PRAIRIE VILLAGE, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Flint Development, a leading national commercial real estate firm, is pleased to announce it received official approval from Spotsylvania County officials in February to break ground on construction of a premier industrial facility at the Patriot 95 site in Thornburg, Virginia. Located at 6241 Patriot Highway, the project is scheduled to break ground in May.

The new development will feature a 555,675-square-foot state-of-the-art facility designed to meet the growing demand for logistics, distribution and manufacturing space along the I-95 corridor. With a 40-foot clear height and strategic proximity to both Richmond and Washington D.C., the project is positioned to attract high-quality tenants and further strengthen the region’s industrial infrastructure including the Kalahari Water Resort that is adjacent to this property.

“We are incredibly grateful to the Spotsylvania County community and local leadership for their partnership and support throughout the approval process,” said Devin Schuster, Partner at Flint Development. “At Flint, we take pride in transforming underutilized land into high-performing assets. This project is a testament to our commitment to creating productive spaces that serve as long-term economic engines for the municipalities in which we invest.”

With a projected total economic investment of $213.5 million, this project is designed to be a long-term economic engine that will generate an estimated $2.3 million in annual tax revenue for Spotsylvania County. Furthermore, the development is expected to support 734 direct jobs at full build-out, in addition to hundreds of indirect and construction-related roles.

Flint’s large-scale industrial projects are designed to provide significant local benefits. To date, the firm has developed over 21 million square feet of space across the U.S., facilitating the creation of thousands of jobs through partnerships with global tenants such as Amazon, Walmart, and Ford. The Patriot 95 project is expected to generate substantial new property tax revenue for the town and state, helping to fund essential public services, schools, and infrastructure.

“This facility is about more than just square footage. It’s about opportunity,” said Hunter Harris, Partner at Flint Development. “By developing modern industrial space tailored for logistics and manufacturing, we are bringing sustainable job creation and significant tax investment to Thornburg. We look forward to seeing the positive impact this project will have on the community and the local economy for years to come.”

The Patriot 95 project builds on another Flint Development project in the region, the 2023 completion and sale of Caroline 95. That 1.2 million-square-foot distribution center, now utilized by Trader Joe’s, created 745 new jobs in Caroline County and has delivered tens of millions of dollars in economic impact to the surrounding area.

Since its inception, Flint Development has raised in excess of $660 million in capital to drive ground-up developments with an estimated total value of $2 billion. The Patriot 95 site represents the latest addition to Flint’s portfolio of high-quality, data-driven projects in markets with strong demand and supply constraints.
