NEW YORK, March 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SkyREM, a leading owner and operator of industrial real estate, is pleased to announce the signing of a 129,600-square-foot long-term lease at 2251 Catawba River Road in Fort Lawn, South Carolina. This lease brings the 236,210-square-foot building to full occupancy, reflecting the continued demand for high-quality industrial space in the region.
The new tenant, a global leader in advanced engineering and construction solutions, specializes in infrastructure, environmental protection, and geotechnical innovation. The company provides solutions for road and rail infrastructure, erosion control, soil stabilization, and reinforced structures, serving industries such as civil engineering, mining, and environmental remediation. The mission-critical Fort Lawn facility will support the company's U.S. expansion, bolstering its manufacturing, distribution, and logistics capabilities to meet growing demand across North America.
The facility offers state-of-the-art warehouse and manufacturing space, strategic access to major transportation networks, and proximity to a skilled workforce. As part of its commitment to long-term asset enhancement, SkyREM has planned a multi-million-dollar capital improvement program to further modernize the property. Additionally, the dual-rail served industrial campus includes 77 acres of development-ready land, presenting significant expansion or build-to-suit opportunities.
"We are excited to bring this facility to full occupancy and to welcome another industry leader to our portfolio," said Jared Zolna, Vice President of Asset Management at SkyREM. "This lease highlights the continued strength of the Chester County industrial market and SkyREM's ability to attract high-caliber tenants. With planned capital improvements, we are ensuring this facility remains a premier option for industrial users."
Chester County, located just south of Charlotte, has become one of the region's fastest-growing industrial hubs. Over the past decade, manufacturing in the area has increased substantially, driven by its proximity to Charlotte, the largest city in North Carolina and one of the fastest-growing metros in the U.S. With a labor force of over 2.7 million people from both Charlotte and Columbia, the area offers industrial businesses access to a skilled workforce.
The region is strategically positioned for global logistics, with easy access to major highways, Charlotte Douglas International Airport which offers direct flights to key global markets, and rail service. This connectivity enables businesses in Chester County to benefit from reduced freight costs and enhanced access to international supply chains.
"We are seeing an increasing number of companies looking to Chester County for its proximity to Charlotte and its strategic transportation infrastructure," said Zolna. "The region's growth, along with the support from local economic development initiatives, makes this a highly attractive area for industrial expansion."
The transaction was facilitated by Tommy Turner, SIOR and Zack Daltorio of Newmark, representing SkyREM, with Clifford Blanquicet Jr. of Blanq Real Estate representing the tenant.
