Market Performance and Outlook
Last year was characterized by steady absorption in Spartanburg. Despite starting with a high vacancy rate, the county ended the year as the number one city in the nation for the decline in industrial vacancy. The outlook for the current year remains robust, driven by high demand and a slowdown in new construction.
Key Competitive Advantages
Spartanburg continues to be a highly desirable distribution hub for several reasons:
- Infrastructure: Excellent access to major interstates and the local inland port.
- Cost Efficiency: The market is approximately 30% cheaper than many other competing industrial markets.
