With debt and equity financing complete, the 1.43 million square foot spec industrial project in the Camp Hall Commerce Park is currently underway
Childress Klein, a premier Charlotte based real estate developer, and Altus Equity Group Inc, a diverse real estate sponsor, operator, and investment company, today announced the finalization of securing the debt and equity needed for construction of their industrial project located in the Camp Hall Commerce Park in Ridgeville, South Carolina, believed to be one of the largest historical spec build industrial projects within the Charleston MSA. New York Life Real Estate Investors arranged financing for the construction loan in the amount of $86.5 million.
Camp Hall Commerce Park Campus 8 is the next phase of the larger Camp Hall mixed-use park, which has been ranked by Business Facilities Magazine’s annual rankings as the No. 7 best industrial park in the nation for 2022 – and the only industrial park to make the list in the southeast. Moreover, the project’s strategic access to I-26 provides exceptional connection to the world-class logistics and distribution capabilities of the Charleston market, including the Port of Charleston and Charleston International Airport (CHS).
Project Details: 1,430,330 Total SF
o 971,302 SF (Building 1), 40’ Clear Height
o 275,271 SF (Building 2), 36’ Clear Height
o 183,757 SF (Building 3), 32’ Clear Height
“While construction started in June of last year, we are pleased to announce the closing of our financing for this project,” said Matt Harper, Partner at Childress Klein. “Despite some headwinds in the capital markets, we were able to secure attractive financing through New York Life Real Estate Investors; and look forward to working with them to complete construction in the second half of this year.”
Andrew Eicher, Altus Equity Senior Vice President, added, “We are extremely excited about this project. Charleston is a strong economic center with growing industrial demand from manufacturing, logistics, and the continued growth of the Port of Charleston. There are many complications in a deal of this size, and we appreciate the attentiveness of the local and state governments to the project. In addition to our trusted local industry relationships, Camp Hall and Santee Cooper were instrumental in working through challenges as they arose during the pre-construction phases.”
“We continue to see opportunities in construction lending and look forward towards solidifying and expanding our relationships with top tier sponsors such as Childress Klein and Altus,” said Elizabeth Roy, Senior Director on the New York Life Real Estate Investors’ Structured Debt team.
Construction commenced in June 2022 immediately upon purchase of the land, which was facilitated by the Cushman and Wakefield’s Charleston Office (NYST: CWK). The Charleston office of Jones Lang LaSalle Inc (NYSE: JLL) has been selected as the leasing broker for the project by the combined management team.
