NEWS ARTICLES: (4/17) Port spurs warehouse projects Planned expansion
creates opportunity

North Pointe Industrial Park The planned expansion of the Port of
Charleston has helped land another sizable warehouse development that's
banking on future growth at the state's docks.

Indiana-based Lauth Property Group said Wednesday that it plans to break
ground in June on the first of two big commercial buildings at North
Pointe Industrial Park, off North Rhett Avenue in Hanahan.

The first structure will measure nearly 391,000 square feet and is
scheduled to be finished early next year, the company said. The second
planned structure, totaling nearly 400,000 square feet, will be built
based on market demand.

The developers are "very bullish on ... the growth at Southeast ports, and
their ability to capitalize on that growth," said Hagood Morrison, a
broker with Colliers Keenan, which is handling the leasing for the North
Pointe project.

Lauth of Indianapolis joins a growing roster of real estate investors
betting that a shipping terminal the State Ports Authority is proposing
for the former Navy base will stoke demand for modern warehouse space.

In the Jedburg area, for instance, Ross Perot Jr.'s Hillwood group is
getting set to start work on its Charleston Trade Center, a project that
eventually could house more than 9 million square feet of industrial real
estate.

Near Daniel Island, Childress Klein of Charlotte is adding warehouse space
at Charleston Regional Business Center. Farther away, two groups have
proposed massive port-driven industrial parks near Orangeburg, where
Interstates 26 and 95 intersect.

Most of the projects are speculative, meaning developers are starting work
without any tenants.

For 31-year-old Lauth, the Hanahan project is its first venture in the
Lowcountry. "The Charleston market as a whole is a place we want to be and
do business," said Houston Roberts, a vice president in the firm's
Charlotte office.

"It's something we've had our eye on for a long time, and we were just
looking for the right deal."

The local warehouse construction boom is partly a response to projections
that Asian exporters will shift some of their containerized shipments from
the West Coast to less-congested East Coast ports, including
Charleston's. "That's a big reason why we're down there," Roberts said.

Lauth said its Hanahan site will likely appeal to tenants that want to be
near the proposed and existing North Charleston port terminals and the
region's two interstate highways. "We consider it an in-town location,"
Roberts said.

While the sea trade is fueling much of the building activity, he noted
that Charleston also has a growing base of government contractors and
manufacturers that also require warehouse space. "It's pretty diverse,"
Roberts said. "It's not just one thing driving the industrial market."

Lauth's project will be vying for tenants with two recently vacated
300,000-square-foot warehouses in North Pointe Industrial Park. Those
buildings went dark earlier this year when clothing importer McNaughton
Apparel shut down its local distribution center.

"Hopefully, they'll be leased by the time our first building is
delivered," Roberts said.
