Growth Capital Partners in Jonesboro, GA

​Wright Construction’s Birmingham Division recently completed a large-scale asphalt mill and pave project at 9250 South Main Street in Jonesboro, Georgia, a 499,960-square-foot industrial facility located in Atlanta’s I-75 South submarket. The Birmingham asphalt crew milled and repaved 5,550 square yards of surface area, placing 640 tons of asphalt while maintaining full operational continuity for the property’s tenant throughout the project.

This project reflects the type of industrial asphalt paving work Wright Construction performs across the Southeast, where property owners and logistics operators depend on durable, code-compliant pavement to support daily freight and warehouse operations.

About the Property and Ownership

The Jonesboro property is owned by Growth Capital Partners (GCP), a Birmingham, Alabama-based industrial real estate firm that acquires, develops, and manages industrial and logistics assets throughout the central and southeastern United States. GCP operates as a vertically integrated real estate investment and management platform, and its portfolio spans roughly 6.7 million square feet across Sun Belt markets, including Atlanta, Nashville, Houston, San Antonio, Charlotte, and Jacksonville.

GCP acquired the Jonesboro facility in 2022 as part of a joint venture with AEW Capital Management, which purchased a 2.9 million-square-foot industrial portfolio in the Atlanta I-75 South submarket. That portfolio included three Class A industrial facilities in McDonough and Jonesboro, housing tenants such as Whirlpool Corporation and Caterpillar. The 9250 South Main Street property is currently leased to The Shippers Group, recently acquired by Kenco, a logistics and warehousing provider that relies on the site’s pavement infrastructure to support inbound and outbound freight movement, trailer staging, and heavy equipment traffic.

Industrial properties of this scale require pavement that can withstand constant tractor-trailer traffic, heavy equipment loads, and high-frequency use without premature failure. A mill and pave project like this one removes the deteriorated top layer of existing asphalt and replaces it with a new, properly compacted surface, extending the pavement’s service life and reducing the risk of cracking, potholing, and drainage issues that can disrupt tenant operations.

Project Execution

The Birmingham Division mobilized its asphalt crew to Jonesboro to complete the mill and pave scope in full. The crew encountered challenging weather conditions during the project timeline, which required close coordination with the client to sequence the work around active site operations. Wright Construction communicated directly with the property team throughout the project to ensure that The Shippers Group experienced no disruption to daily operations while the milling and paving work proceeded.

The project was completed on time and met the quality standards Wright Construction applies to every asphalt paving project, regardless of size or market. The finished surface now supports the ongoing freight and logistics activity that the Jonesboro facility was built to handle.

Team Recognition

Wright Construction recognizes Brian Kay for his work leading the Birmingham Division’s asphalt crew on this project. His coordination with the client and management of the crew through adverse weather conditions helped keep the project on schedule and on budget.
