Nestled off White Oak Road in Dover, DE, Garrison Oak Business Park has emerged as a beacon of opportunity, captivating the attention of businesses and developers alike. In a region with a high demand for industrial space but limited supply, the visionary efforts of the City of Dover, initiated two decades ago, have led to the emergence of this business park.

Garrison Oak Business Park presents a perfect blend of accessibility and convenience. With easy access to major highways, including Route 1 and Route 13, as well as close proximity to Philadelphia, Baltimore, and New York City, businesses operating within the park enjoy seamless connectivity to regional and national markets.

The park received a revitalizing jolt when Mayor Robin Christiansen and City Manager Dave Hugg appointed Todd Stonesifer from Commercial Moving Experience as the park's broker. Todd's exceptional expertise became the catalyst that ignited the interest of new and expanding businesses, propelling Garrison Oak Business Park to new heights.

"The Commercial Moving Experience is proud and excited to market this project on behalf of the City of Dover," said Todd Stonesifer. "The city was an excellent partner, and enthusiastically supported the needs of responsible buyers/developers who are bringing good, high paying jobs and economic diversity to the business park. As residents of Kent County ourselves, we know that the City of Dover is the economic driver for the central part of the state and the success of Garrison Oak Park will have a positive effect on the quality of life and economic well-being county- wide. We look forward to engaging with new buyers, developers, and investors for the remaining lots."

Today, an impressive six out of the ten lots have already been sold or secured under contract, while the remaining are generating significant interest. The overwhelming response to Garrison Oak Business Park has resulted in an impressive investment of nearly $4 million from land sales alone. What makes Garrison Oak Business Park truly remarkable is its vast potential. It has the capacity to accommodate over one million square feet of top-notch warehousing, cold storage, manufacturing, and industrial buildings, representing a staggering investment potential of over $50 million. These investments will introduce hundreds of high-paying employment opportunities, enriching the community with a substantial influx of quality jobs.

"The City of Dover is thrilled with the overwhelming success of Garrison Oak Business Park, as it signifies a significant step towards economic growth for our community," says City of Dover Mayor Robin Christiansen. "The park's capacity to attract substantial investments and high-paying jobs showcases our commitment to fostering a thriving business environment in Dover, Delaware."

In a testament to the City's commitment to meeting the evolving needs of businesses, a groundbreaking announcement was made last year: a state-of-the-art substation will be constructed within Garrison Oak Business Park. This strategic addition will cater to the power requirements of almost any business seeking to establish a presence within the park, reaffirming Dover's dedication to providing an infrastructure that surpasses expectations.

"Garrison Oak Business Park serves as a testament to Kent County's determination to shape a vibrant economic landscape and foster an environment that encourages innovation, collaboration, and prosperity," Kent Economic Partnership Executive Director Linda Parkowski said. "As the park continues to attract forward-thinking businesses, it cements its position as an industrial hub of the future, offering limitless opportunities for growth and success."

As Garrison Oak Business Park continues to forge ahead, attracting visionary businesses and fostering a thriving community, it solidifies its position of success and limitless potential. For businesses seeking unparalleled opportunities for growth and prosperity, Garrison Oak Business Park signals as the premier industrial destination in Dover, Delaware.
