New industrial space in the Upstate has been getting harder to find, but companies will soon have another option.
Pattillo Industrial Real Estate, an Atlanta-based design/build general contractor, this week announced plans for a new 108,000-square-foot, Class A spec building at the Hillside Industrial Park in Duncan off of Interstate 85 and Highway 20.
The building will be located on a 30-acre site the firm purchased earlier this year. Currently the Highway 290 submarket, where the building will be located, has 45 industrial buildings that are 40,000 square feet and larger, but zero square feet directly available for lease and only 279,173 square feet available for sublease.
Hillside Industrial Park currently includes 14 buildings, totaling 1,169,829 square feet of existing industrial space, which are 100 percent occupied.
Existing tenants in the park include Rochling Automotive, ZF Lemforder, AFL Telecommunications, Staubli America Corp, Global Automotive Partners and United Tool, among others.
The new building will include 40-by-52-foot column spacing, 30-foot minimum clear height, a 150-foot truck court, 19 dock-high doors, a 12-by-14-foot drive-in door and a TPO roof system. The office, slab, mechanical, electrical and sprinkler will all be build-to-suit. It will also be expandable up to 232,000 square feet and will be available for sale or lease.
“We are excited to be developing an industrial building in Upstate South Carolina,” said John Drake, director or leasing and development for Pattillo. “Our firm has worked on many projects in the state, and we look forward to continuing our work in the Upstate. We feel the time is right and the market is ready for it.”
Pattillo is partnering with NAI Earle Furman in Greenville in listing the single-tenant building.
“We are pleased to be able to partner with Pattillo, as they have a successful track record of quality industrial development throughout the Southeast,” said Grice Hunt, industrial real estate broker with NAI Earle Furman. “The limited availability for Class A industrial buildings paired with the location and quality of this building make this a highly desirable property.”
Construction is expected to begin in December, with the estimated completion of the new building in the beginning of the second quarter of 2014.
