EASLEY, S.C. — Marcus & Millichap’s Taylor McMinn Retail Group has brokered the sale of a newly built, 5,798-square-foot retail property in Easley, roughly 12 miles west of Greenville. Firestone, a subsidiary of Japanese tire manufacturer Bridgestone, occupies the building on a 15–year, triple-net, corporate-guaranteed lease that features 5 percent rent increases every five years.A preferred developer for Firestone sold the property to a 1031 exchange buyer. Don McMinn and Andrew Koriwchak of Taylor McMinn Retail Group represented the seller in the transaction, which marks the team’s 21st new-construction Firestone closing, according to McMinn. “This closing highlights the growing presence of higher price point 1031 exchange buyers re-entering the net lease market,” says McMinn. “As this momentum continues into 2026, we anticipate strong demand for Bridgestone assets driven by the investment grade credit, long-term triple-net lease and limited on-market supply.” McMinn adds that the Taylor McMinn Retail Group has more Firestone-occupied retail listings coming to market soon.
