West-Signal Breaks Ground on 340,000 SF Industrial Building for Technology Company Near Charleston

HANAHAN S.C. — West-Signal, a joint venture between an affiliate of North Signal Capital LLC and a fund managed by Westport Capital Partners LLC, has broken ground on a 340,000-square-foot industrial facility within North Pointe Commerce Park in Hanahan, roughly 15 miles northwest of Charleston. The partnership is developing the warehouse and production facility for Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC), a technology integrator in the engineering, technical and information technology markets. SAIC’s primary client is the U.S. federal government. The LEED-certified building will feature tilt-up concrete construction, 32-foot clear heights, an ESFR sprinkler system and LED lighting. The building will also have the capacity to expand an additional 74,000 square feet. Evans General Contractors will design and build the facility, and Bank of America is providing construction financing for the project. West-Signal expects to deliver the facility in the fourth quarter. The joint venture acquired three developable sites along North Pointe Industrial Boulevard — collectively referred to as North Pointe Commerce Park — in late 2017 and is developing each one. The project will ultimately add approximately 715,000 square feet of industrial space to the greater Charleston area. The first building within the park is slated for delivery in September. Peter Fennelly, Hagood Morrison, Simons Johnson and Tim Raber of Bridge Commercial are handling leasing for the remaining two sites within North Pointe Commerce Park.
