KANNAPOLIS, N.C. — A Charlotte company plans to break ground next year on a $35 million "eco-friendly" commercial and retail park in Kannapolis that it hopes will become a gateway to the $1.5 billion N.C. Research Campus being built in Kannapolis and create hundreds of jobs.

The 32-acre Research Commerce Park will be developed by DPE Investments at the southwest corner of the Lane Street interchange with Interstate 85, Exit 63, according to a press release.

Plans for the park include a dozen parcels for commercial use, including five outparcels for retail development and two hotel sites. When built out in three to four years, company officials say, the site will include 275,000 square feet of mixed commercial space.

The anchor tenant will be a hotel and conference center at the corner of the interchange. Other possible tenants include a retail pharmacy, a convenience store and office buildings.
