Charleston, South Carolina (PRWEB) March 06, 2015
Amstar, a Denver-based real estate investment manager, announced today the ground breaking on a 16.7-acre development site in Charleston. Amstar and its development partner, Childress Klein (“CK”), began construction in January on a 278,720 square-foot state-of-the-art industrial facility and expect to deliver by the end of July. The Property will feature a 300’ deep front-loading configuration, 30’ clear height, 172’ truck court with ample trailer parking, ESFR sprinkler system and T-5 lighting.
The property is located in the Charleston Regional Business Center (“CRBC”) in the Clements Ferry submarket of Charleston, a distribution corridor with close proximity to the Wando Welch Terminal, the largest terminal by container volume in the Port of Charleston. CRBC is also located 12 miles from the Charleston International Airport and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner Final Assembly Campus making this a key location for aviation and aerospace suppliers, manufacturers and logistics operations. The investment fits within Amstar’s industrial development strategy, which is focused on providing superior risk-adjusted returns by partnering with high-quality local development firms to develop Class A industrial assets in strong U.S. industrial markets.
"Amstar is excited to be a part of such a promising and well-located development. Childress Klein is a long-standing partner of Amstar and we look forward to another successful outcome," said Amstar Managing Director Tricia Noble.
“Childress Klein is excited for the opportunity to take advantage of the current low inventory environment of available Class “A” industrial space as well as to capitalize on the increased port activity in Charleston,” said Childress Klein Partner Matt Harper.
Michael White of Charleston Industrial, LLC will be representing the landlord for all leasing activity.
