The Mid85 industrial park development is taking place at a convenient location which is just off Interstate-85. Therefore, it offers future tenants easy commutes to Inland Port Greer, I-85/I-26 interchange as well as the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport.

Development plans for phase I of the Mid85 industrial park

The developers will complete the  industrial park in two phases and the first phase will feature two speculative warehouse facilities. The buildings’ designs will integrate tilt-up concrete wall panels and structural steel frames. Additionally, both buildings will occupy 1.2 million square feet in total.

Mid85 industrial park’s first building for phase I will span across 277,648 square feet. It will feature amenities such as rear-load layout, 32’ clear height, 58 dock doors, including spaces for 78 trailers. However, the second building will occupy 917,694 square feet. This warehouse facility will have a cross-dock layout with 88 dock doors, 40’ clear height, and 201 parking spots.

While SeamonWhiteside is the project’s civil engineer and WGPM, Inc., is serving as the structural engineer. JLL will handle all necessary leasing arrangements for the industrial park. The development team expects the project to reach completion by October 2024.
