SUMMERVILLE, S.C. — Atlanta-based Portman has purchased 40 acres along US Highway 78 in Summerville, a suburb of Charleston. Situated near I-26 and the Port of Charleston, the site will be home to Summerville Logistics Center, a two-building industrial development totaling 536,000 square feet. Lee Allen and Kevin Coats of JLL represented Portman with the acquisition of the Summerville land. Ryan Welch and Clarke Attaway with Lee & Associates represented the seller and will lead the leasing efforts for the Summerville Logistics Center on behalf of Portman.
Once complete in February 2025, the center will feature two single-load facilities with a 210-foot shared truck court. In addition to Summerville Logistics Center, Portman is finishing the next phase of its Campus 4 at Camp Hall project, which is situated nine miles north. The next phase comprises a 1.1 million-square-foot facility that will deliver in September. Portman is also co-developing Magnolia, a 189-acre mixed-use, waterfront destination in Charleston, with Highland Resources.
