Front Street Welcomes Excel Interior Door to Union Cross

Winston-Salem, NC – Front Street Capital announced the successful leasing of its 144,000 square foot industrial facility, Union Cross Industrial Center lot IV (UCIC IV), to Excel Interior Door. This marks the completion of a 20-month development and leasing process, a testament to the robust demand for high-quality industrial space in the region.

Excel Interior Door, a leading manufacturer of residential interior wooden doors, will utilize UCIC IV to expand its production capacity and reduce delivery times to its growing customer base in the Southeast. The facility’s prime location, with easy access to I-40 and I-74, was a key factor in the company's decision to choose Winston-Salem.

“We are very pleased to establish our new manufacturing site and corporate headquarters in North Carolina,” said Excel Interior Door CEO Mitch Sanner. “We studied labor availability, site availability, proximity to shipping routes, and many other factors important to our expansion, and Winston-Salem consistently ranked as the ideal location.”

The addition of Excel Interior Door to the Forsyth County community is expected to create up to 69 new jobs over the next five years, contributing significantly to the region’s economic growth. According to North Carolina Senator Joyce Krawiec, “This is great news for Forsyth County and the entire state. These additional jobs and capital investment will support the innovative economy we’re cultivating in the region.”

“We are thrilled to welcome Excel Interior Door to the Front Street family,” said Robin Team, chairman at Front Street Capital. “This project exemplifies our commitment to developing high-quality industrial spaces that meet the needs of growing companies. The rapid lease-up of UCIC IV underscores the strong demand for our properties and the strategic value of our investments.”

Front Street Capital’s focus on developing speculative industrial buildings in key locations has proven to be a successful strategy. The company is now turning its attention to the development of additional industrial space at Union Cross Industrial Center to capitalize on the continued demand in the market.
