$13.3M paid for 7 industrial buildings near Summerville

A Mount Pleasant real estate investment firm recently paid $13.3 million for seven industrial and flex buildings with 91,000 square feet of space off U.S. Highway 78 south of Summerville.

WRS Real Estate Investments bought four buildings totaling 40,000 square feet at 131-135 Elliana Way and 10162 Bellwright Road from Dean Hensley Enterprises LLC of Summerville for $5.68 million, according to Berkeley County land records.

WRS also bought three buildings with 51,000 square feet at nearby 210, 216 and 217 Cember Way from Summerville Industrial Partners LLC of Jacksonville, Fla. for $7.625 million, land records show.

The properties, ranging from 2,000 to 10,000 square feet, are 100 percent leased by 18 different tenants, according to Pat Marr of WRS.

"With the growth in industrial rents, we feel good about the maket continuing to rise for smaller tenants who have fewer options," Marr said.

Future development on the site could include an additional 13,000 square feet of industrial space.
