Industrial property in premier Charleston Trade Center sold
JLL Capital Markets facilitates the sale of the 136,500-square-foot industrial property
CHARLESTON, July 13, 2021 – JLL Capital Markets announced today it closed the sale of 553 Trade Center Pkwy at the Charleston Trade Center, one of the premier industrial parks in Charleston, South Carolina.
JLL worked on behalf of the developer and seller, The Keith Corporation, to complete the sale to the buyer, LBA Logistics.
Built in 2019, the 136,500-square-foot Class A building is 100% leased to Thorne Research Inc. and Advanced Packaging Solutions & Products Inc. The industrial property is a rare, small-footprint building, which has become increasingly desirable amongst investors, as development costs continue to rise.
The building is strategically positioned adjacent to I-26, which provides seamless access throughout the surrounding region. The location also provides direct access to the Charleston International Airport (CHS), the Port of Charleston and large local manufacturers including Mercedes-Benz, Boeing and Volvo.
The explosive industrial market throughout the pandemic had to quickly shift to meet the increasing demands of consumers, as logistics and parcel delivery became the most active industry, according to JLL’s most recent Industrial Tenant Demand Study. In addition, JLL’s Q1 2021 Industrial Outlook stated that the market delivered 55.8 million square feet in that quarter alone.
The JLL Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Senior Managing Director Pete Pittroff, Managing Director Patrick Nally, Director Dave Andrews and Analysts Michael Scarnato and Josh McArdle.
