BLYTHEWOOD, S.C. — Scout Motors Inc., the electric vehicle division of German automaker Volkswagen, has unveiled plans for an electric vehicle manufacturing plant on a 1,600-acre plot in Blythewood, South Carolina, a suburb of Columbia. The move represents a capital investment of approximately $2 billion and is expected to create about 4,000 jobs. Scout Motors intends to primarily use the plant for the production of trucks and sport utility vehicles (SUVs). At full capacity, the facility should be able to manufacture about 200,000 vehicles annually. Construction is scheduled to begin later this year, and Scout Motors expects the plant to be fully operational by the end of 2026.

Nashville’s economy experienced some of the healthiest growth in the nation in 2022, with an annual job growth rate of 5.8 percent, exceeding the U.S. growth rate of 4.1 percent, based on data from Oxford Economics. Nashville also received high marks from the Urban Land Institute and PricewaterhouseCoopers, ranking as the No. 1 Market to Watch in their 2023 Emerging Trends in Real Estate report. The report credited Nashville’s tremendous and sustained population growth, and its economic diversity. Referred to as a “Supernova,” Nashville grew by an average of 5 percent since 2019 — four times faster than the national rate — due to rapid net in-migration. These fundamentals have helped boost the retail market in Nashville over the last several years. Post-pandemic, market-wide retail vacancy decreased to 3.3 percent at the end of 2022, which is two percentage points less than the rate at year-end 2020, but in line with the 15-year record low mark set in 2018. While Nashville’s retail sector took a hit along with others across the nation, it continues to rebound and perform due to a rise in dense communities where developers and owners are being strategic and thoughtful in retail curation. As such, the …
