Montcross is a growing suburban area in eastern Gaston County, North Carolina located in Belmont and surrounded by the towns of McAdenville, Mount Holly, Gastonia and Charlotte.  Montcross stretches along I-85 and has two interchanges in place for great success.

Over the last 10 years, the tremendous growth of the Charlotte metropolitan area has made Montcross an outstanding option for businesses wanting an Interstate presence with easy access to the region.  Montcross has grown to over 110,000 square feet of leasable space within Abbey Plaza Shopping Center and over 100 acres of outparcel land leased to tenants such as Walmart, Lowe’s, Hampton Inn, Home 2, BB&T, Bank of America, Wachovia, CaroMont Health, Gaston County Visitor’s Center, Arby’s and Taco Bell.

In the 13 interconnected counties surrounding Montcross, the workforce totals over 2.6 million people with the services and manufacturing sectors providing the top employment. As the second-largest financial center in the nation, Charlotte offers an abundance of jobs in finance and technology, and affords a wealth of services to commercial and individual customers.

Montcross is owned by The Southern Benedictine Society of North Carolina, which is a Benedictine Monastery founded in 1876.  One of the primary purposes of the development is to provide financial support for the Monastery and Belmont Abbey College.  Over their extensive 144 year history, the Monastery has assembled and preserved approximately 700 acres of land, of which 160 acres are used by the Monastery and College.
