Homes Fort Mill SC

The Portland Business Journal and Rock Hill Herald have both published stories recently about Daimler Trucks North America, formerly known as Freightliner LLC, purchasing 396 acres of undeveloped land in York County South Carolina.

Daimler Trucks closed on the 396 acre land purchase on August 7, 2008. The land is located along Lake Wylie near the Alison Creek Road. The location is on the southwest side of Lake Wylie on what is called the Big Allison Creek.

Daimler Trucks claims they will begin construction on a 200,000 square foot office building sometime next year and relocate the marketing and sales employees that just moved into the Intellicenter building on Deerfield Dr in Fort M Mill last July. Daimler Trucks has not disclosed any other plans for the 396 acres.

Rumor has it that Daimler Trucks will eventually relocate their headquarters from Portland to the 396 acres in York County South Carolina. There is certainly enough space. In additional it seems odd that Daimler Trucks will relocate the sales and marketing employees since Daimler signed an 11 year lease for the Intellecenter.

Fort Mill SC keeps growing. The new Koll Development Company 150,000 square foot Intellicenter building in Fort Mill SC is finished and has been turned over to Daimler Trucks of North America. Freightliner LLC changed it corporate name last January to Daimler Trucks of North America.

Last October Daimler Trucks announced the move of its 340 job sales and marketing division from Portland OR to Fort Mill, SC. As of the company deadline for relocation decisions last January, 118 Portland Daimler employees are making the move to Fort Mill, SC. I took a look at Daimler’s job opening website. Only 14 positions were listed as available. Daimler had a job fair in March so many of the non relocating positions may have been filled.

The Daimler Trucks sales and marketing new office is located on Deerfield Drive near the Gold Hill and I-77 interchange. Here is the last picture from the construction job site camera of new building taken on May 21st.

You can see the exterior of the building and landscaping is complete. Work left to do is focused on the interior office set up including furniture. Daimler Trucks expects operations to begin in the new offices the first part of August.
