Bridge Commercial is pleased to present 2011 Broadbank (the “Property”), located in the greater Charleston MSA. This is an opportunity to acquire a flex office warehouse building adjacent to a Class A industrial park. The area is in a rapidly growing Summerville submarket as part of the Greater Charleston market.
The property is owned by Rubicon Industries USA, LLC. The company is in the business of developing technology in order to improve genetics for tree stocks for the forestry sector. The product significantly improves the productivity of forestry land. New Zealand based Rubicon Ltd. Owns Arborgen, Ltd. Rubicon is a publicly listed company with shares trading on the New Zealand stock market.
The building consists of Class A office, lab space and air conditioned warehouse space. The warehouse offers two Dock Doors and one Drive In Door that are accessible by 200’ Truck Court. The office space includes a training room and a number of conference rooms in addition to the open office space and private offices.
The Arborgen building is adjacent to the Pine Hill Business Campus located in Dorchester County. The Pine Hill is a campus developed initially by WestRock. It was sold to Dorchester County in 2021.
Dorchester County recently approved tax incentives for a manufacturer to locate in Pine Hill. This user will take most of the park.
The space is well positioned to appeal to the light assembly and manufacturing users which are relocating to the Charleston area. Auto manufacturing suppliers as well as suppliers to the EV, battery manufacturing and related businesses would locate here. Given the prior use, the cleanliness of the facility allows for electronics related businesses.
Housing for employees is supplied by the nearby Summers Corner subdivision. This community includes new schools, walking parks and a number of differently priced communities.
The area boasts a highly skilled workforce, well known training programs, and a business friendly environment with the unionization rate well below the national average.
Nearby users include Brightline Extrusions, ShowaDenko Carbon, Robert Bosch, and Wabco
Compressor Manufacturing Company.
