The properties are located at 1440 N NC 16 Business Hwy, Denver, NC 28037 and 2585 N NC 16 Business Hwy, Denver, NC 28037, offering excellent visibility and accessibility along a major thoroughfare. Denver, NC continues to experience strong population growth due to its proximity to Lake Norman, Charlotte, and major employment centers.
