UPSTATE, SC MARKET REPORTS - NOW AVAILABLE!
CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE COMPLETE REPORTS
The industrial market continues to grow stronger as we begin the second half
of the year. The steady flow of economic development announcements are a
good indicator that not only is the commercial real estate market continuing
to improve, but the economy is beginning to experience healthy growth as
well. The resurgence of activity has led to a healthy cycle of steady sales and
leasing as companies continue to expand and grow. Another good market
indicator is the return of investors buying stabilized income producing assets,
which has been missing in the market for the past few years. The biggest
problem for the industrial sector is available space, especially higher quality
space, which will hopefully lead toward some opportunities for build to suit
projects, the next step in a healthy business cycle.
- Grice Hunt, Industrial Division Broker
For the first half of 2012 we have seen a rise in retail activity in the Upstate
market. We are still seeing a big push from the gasoline companies in the
Upstate. Spinx and Quik Trip are continuing to build top of the line stores all
over the area. We will continue to see this sector grow for the rest of this year
and on into 2013. The dollar chains such as Dollar General and Family Dollar
have also continued their search for holes in the market. Dollar General is
expected to open an additional 600 stores nationwide in 2013. The downtown
market has continued to flourish with the addition of several new restaurants
including Breakwater and Mac’s Speed Shop. These additions have helped
continue the sprawl of downtown towards the West End. The heart of Main
Street has seen project One taking shape. Among the key tenants is retailer,
Anthropologie who will occupy 9,500 square feet of main level space. Looking
forward we expect to see a rise in new development and should see a
decrease in vacancy rates with rental rates remaining steady.
- Jake Van Gieson, Retail Division Broker
The first half of 2012 has seen a slow and steady recovery in the Office
sector. The average rate at the end of the quarter decreased slightly and the
trend of positive net absorption remained in tact. The positive net absorption
pushed vacancy down to 9.5%. Much of the positive absorption came from
the Greenville suburban area with large move-ins such as Aimco (26,768 SF
at Patewood) and Diabetes Care and Education (20,240 SF at Park East) In
Greenville’s CBD all eyes are on project One taking shape along Main Street
with the first office tenants moving in early next year. Also downtown, The
Landmark building welcomed new tenants, GSA (14,114 SF) and Windstream
(40,195 SF).

Property Management
Continues to Grow
NAI Earle Furman’s Property Management division has added
nine new properties to its management portfolio so far this year,
continuing its recent growth.
The latest additions to the company’s management portfolio
are 29 North Academy St., 1417 Laurens Rd., and 200 N. Main
St., all of which are located in or near downtown Greenville.
The North Academy property is the home of the Center for
Developmental Services, while the other two locations are retail
in scope.
The three most recent additions have added approximately
45,000 square feet to NAI Earle Furman’s management
portfolio, bringing the total number of square feet under the
management of the company to nearly 5.2 million.
“We are extremely pleased to have the opportunity to
manage these properties. CDS is an amazing partnership of 6
organizations all under one roof which collectively serve almost
5,000 families through expert diagnosis and treatment of
developmental problems. To have the honor of working with the
incredible staff at CDS is a wonderful experience for our firm.
We are also very excited to have the opportunity to manage
200 N. Main, which serves as the home of the newly opened
Charleston Cooks store, and 1417 Laurens Rd., a retail center
with six separate tenant suites,” stated Bill Weede, Principal and
President of the Property Management division.
In addition to Weede, the property management team at NAI Earle Furman includes Brent Illingworth, division Vice
President; Leanne Jaskwhich, CPA, Controller; and a team of four property managers, two lease administrators, a
property management assistant, and two maintenance technicians.
NAI Earle Furman’s property management program employs a hands-on approach to real estate management, where
formal monthly property inspections with face-to-face contact with each tenant provide the foundation of the program.
At the beginning of each new assignment, the property is thoroughly evaluated so that a management program can
be created that will suit the needs of the property and owner. Monthly operational reports are tailored to accommodate
each property and include an executive summary page unlike any in the industry.

John Powell, CCIM and Tom Daniel of NAI Earle Furman have been accepted to Class 29 of Leadership Anderson, while
Kay Hill, also of NAI Earle Furman, has been accepted to Class 39 of Leadership Greenville. The Leadership Anderson
and Leadership Greenville programs require a 10-month commitment to a development initiative that helps to grow and
motivate community leaders.
According to the Anderson Area Chamber of Commerce and the Greenville Chamber, program
participants are selected through an application process based on the applicant’s prior involvement
in the community, as well as their ability to set and achieve high personal goals. Each year, a new
class of participants is selected for each program.
NAI Earle Furman is pleased to have three members of its brokerage team accepted into the
programs. John Powell, CCIM is an Anderson native. He is part of NAI Earle Furman’s Anderson
office with an emphasis on Industrial, Office, Retail and Investment properties and has over a decade
of experience. Powell is actively involved in the Anderson community and currently serves on the
Board of Directors for the TL Hanna Booster Club and Cardinal Park. “I am very excited for the
opportunity to attend the Leadership Anderson class,” stated Powell. “The things I’ll learn from it will
only expand my existing market knowledge which will ultimately benefit my clients.”
John Powell
Tom Daniel recently relocated to Anderson from Atlanta, and has worked to quickly put down roots
in the community. “My wife, Elaine, and I are excited about our move and look forward to this next
chapter in our life,” stated Daniel. He has over 25 years of experience in commercial real estate and
is a member of the Industrial Division at NAI Earle Furman.
Kay Hill is a Greenville native and joined NAI Earle Furman in 2011 as a part of the Multifamily
Division. She is involved with Commercial Real Estate Women of the Upstate, the Urban Land
Institute, and the Greater Greenville Association of Realtors. “I am honored to be given the
opportunity to work side-by-side with such a diverse and impressive group of Greenville leaders,”
stated Hill. “I expect the next ten months to be challenging, educational and extremely rewarding.”
Both Leadership Anderson and Leadership Greenville have long histories of developing key leaders
in their respective communities. Leadership Anderson was founded in 1984, and over 600 local
leaders have graduated from the program and continue to be committed to the growth and progress
of Anderson County. The Leadership Greenville program began in 1973, and has seen over 1,600
participants. Alumni serve in leadership roles within their businesses and organizations, in the
community, and in state and local government.
