Blue Road Investments eyes September finish for Augusta Arbor II

Blue Road Investments is looking at a September completion date for a three-building industrial park at the corner of Augusta Arbor Way and Antioch Church Road.

The developer broke ground on 346,680 square feet of space at the site in December.

“This will be one of the premier light industrial parks in all of Greenville/Spartanburg with state-of-the-art specifications and functionality that will appeal to tenants ranging from 20,000 to 140,000 square feet,” Jeff Hackmeyer, co-founder and managing partner of Blue Road Investments, said in a news release. The project, named Augusta Arbor II, will be Blue Road’s second development in Greenville and will include three rear-load warehouses with sizes of 87,480 square feet, 116,640 square feet, and 142,560 square feet. Each building will feature fully reinforced 6-inch slabs, 32-foot clear heights, ESFR sprinkler systems and 135-foot truck courts with the largest building offering plenty of trailer parking, the release said.

The site’s location, near the intersection of Interstate 185 and U.S. Highway 25, was a major driver for the Texas-based investment group, according to the company.

“We are very excited about delivering a class A park in this location, which neighbors the Michelin plant, Lockheed Martin at SCTAC, and Isuzu’s new production plant,” Joe Zingaro, Blue Road’s co-founder and managing partner, said in the release. “In addition, we’re able to maintain a 30-minute drive to downtown, GSP International Airport and Inland Port Greer. The easy access to I-185, less than a mile from our location, allows future tenants the ability to quickly serve customers throughout the rapidly growing region.”

BRI has engaged Lee & Associates to lease the project.

“This is great news for our local industrial market,” Randall Bentley, president/managing principal of Lee & Associates Greenville/Spartanburg. “Much like the rest of the country, GSP is lacking quality industrial space, especially in the smaller building sizes. This project features top-tier building specifications in a park setting and meets several different size and use requirements.”

Blue Road Investments is a developer and long-term owner of industrial real estate throughout the United States. The company says it focuses on warehouse distribution facilities in non-major, growth-oriented markets.
