4865 E Lee Hwy

For Industrial & Logistics Buyers-You can't buy land with this combination of scale and transit placement anywhere else on the I-81 corridor right now. You are sitting right on the major artery connecting the Midwest and Great Lakes directly to the Northeast and Piedmont regions. It handles 11,000 to 16,500+ heavy trucks every single day. Even better, it’s a straight shot to Wythe County's 1,200-acre Progress Park (PepsiCo/Gatorade), making it a goldmine for fleet parking, freight hubs, regional distribution, or industrial flex space. Best of all? No county zoning means your development timeline isn't held hostage by municipal red tape." For Retail, QSR, & Travel Plaza Developers-This site sits directly at the Exit 84 split, giving you unobstructed exposure to both I-81 and I-77 traffic streams simultaneously. You're capturing the traditional commercial commuter base plus heavy vacation/tourism traffic. With 45k to 55k vehicles hitting this corridor daily and effortless, flat access right off East Lee Highway, it is a textbook location for a high-volume travel center, hospitality group, or a cluster of QSR (fast-food) national chains that thrive on highway synergy. Exceptional Traffic Counts: Positioned near Exit 84 where I-81 and I-77 overlap, the site benefits from an Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) count of 45,000 to 55,000 vehicles per day—some of the heaviest volume in the region. Logistics & Freight Powerhouse: Approximately 25% to 30% of daily traffic consists of heavy commercial trucks. Due to the rolling terrain and heavy truck mix, VDOT estimates the corridor’s operational volume is equivalent to 75,000+ passenger cars daily, proving its value as a vital logistics artery.
