CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. -- A mystery bidder has made an eight-figure offer for an unfinished manufacturing plant in Meadowville Technology Park, though a judge will have to approve the sale before the property changes hands.

A court-ordered public auction was held Thursday for the nearly 300,000-square-foot manufacturing facility that the Mexican packaging company Cartograf left incomplete at the Chesterfield industrial park.

While the auction attracted 10 registered bidders both online and in person, only a single bid of $16.5 million was formally made for the factory at the event.

A Chesterfield Circuit Court judge is expected to consider whether to approve the sale at a hearing set for Dec. 14.
