Located directly on the “Boom Belt”: Interstate 85 is the region’s undisputed king of commerce, dominated by automotive manufacturing. According to data from the Conway Projects Database, virtually every county along I-85 regularly lands at least one economic development project each year. Last year, Greenville County ranked 2nd with 28 new projects, only behind Fulton County, GA (Atlanta).
Market Conditions: Strong economic indicators for growth in the region have led to new spec construction. There has been an influx of new national and international companies moving to South Carolina in favor of a more stable and beneficial economic and logistics environment. This is favorably impacting vacancies in the leasing market, as well as overall capital investment from companies establishing a foothold in this market building new facilities.
Booming Greater Market: Greenville is one of America’s hottest emerging destinations and fastest growing cities. From a revitalized downtown ranked among “America’s Ten Best” to the influx of major employers such as BMW Manufacturing, Michelin North American Headquarters, GE, and Lockheed Martin Aircraft, Greenville has grown into one of the top places to live in the Southeast.
Explosive Regional Growth: The Greenville/Spartanburg industrial market is one of the most active markets in the country due to its location on the I-85 “Boombelt,” a high growth corridor extending from Atlanta to Raleigh reporting a 40% higher growth rate than the rest of the U.S. Migration of capital to the Southeast has had a tremendous impact on the market evidenced by asset demand and appreciation.
