The fully leased property offers unparalleled worldwide connectivity near the Port of Charleston

Summerville, SC – Global real estate advisor Avison Young has been exclusively retained by an institutional real estate investor to market a Class A, 448,765-square-foot (sf) warehouse and distribution facility located at 479 Trade Center Parkway in Summerville, South Carolina. IFA Rotorion, a market-leading automotive supplier of prop shafts and joint competencies for companies such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Ferrari, is the sole tenant.

The listing is managed by Avison Young Industrial National Capital Markets Group Principals Erik Foster and Michael Wilson based in the firm’s Chicago office, with local support from Principal and Managing Director of the firm’s Charlotte office, Chris Skibinski and Senior Vice President Alex Irwin of the firm's Charleston office.

The building sits on a 32-acre site in the highly coveted Charleston Trade Center; a three-million-square-foot industrial campus located within the Jedburg submarket, which is widely considered as ground zero for industrial activity for Port-related products. Institutional developers have planted flags in Jedburg due its prime location, strong tenant demand and top-tier industrial infrastructure.

“Market fundamentals in South Carolina are thriving due in part to numerous investments large corporations have pumped into the market, as well as the growth at the Port of Charleston, which delivers unparalleled worldwide connectivity,” said Foster. “This site offers an outstanding investment opportunity to tap into state’s favorable business landscape, innovative tenant base and strong labor pool.”

As the Port of Charleston completes major infrastructure projects improve existing facilities and upgrade its technology, demand for proximity to the coast heightens with 1.2 million sf of space being occupied than vacated in the wider Charleston industrial market year-to-date. Despite overall higher vacancy in the market, over half of the leasing transactions in Q1 2025 were in class A product, indicating flight-to-quality remains strong.
