Frampton Construction completes first Portside Distribution Center building
Charleston, S.C. — Frampton Construction Company, LLC, a regional full-service construction firm providing planning and design support, preconstruction, and construction services, has brought construction of a 189,500-square-foot industrial building in Summerville, S.C., to a close. The Class-A speculative facility, developed by Randolph Development, is the first of two heavy industrial buildings that will comprise the Portside Distribution Center. Plans are currently underway to break ground on the second building later this spring.
The new building, strategically located beside I-26 in the Charleston Distribution Corridor, is suitable for a variety of end-users including logistics companies, aerospace and automotive suppliers, defense contractors, light manufacturers and last-mile distributors.
With a clear height of 32 feet, the facility boasts structural steel and load-bearing concrete tilt walls. The building is divisible to 28,944-square-feet and features 33 dock doors and two drive-in doors. Colliers International is handling the leasing of the property.
“Knowing the high demand for industrial real estate in the Charleston Tri-county distribution corridor, this project gives the entire team a great deal of pride as it comes to completion, and all the more with a second building on the horizon,” Chad Frampton, president and CEO of Frampton Construction noted.
Thomas & Hutton provided site, civil, and landscape design for the 31-acre development, while McMillan Pazdan Smith provided architectural design. Construction was completed in December of 2020.
