Brings Charleston Trade Center to completion at 2.5M fully leased sq ft

Frampton Construction Company, LLC, a full-service construction firm providing planning and design support, preconstruction, and construction services, has completed work on a 430,920-square foot distribution center at the Charleston Trade Center, located in Summerville, S.C. The delivery of this building marks the completion of the Charleston Trade Center at large.

In addition to constructing the core and shell of the facility, Frampton Construction completed a full-building upfit for Sagebrook Home, a California-based home décor company that will be occupying the entire space.

Developed by The Keith Corporation, the 430,920-square-foot cross-docked facility is constructed of concrete tilt walls and a structural steel frame. It features a 36-foot clear height with 50 dock doors and two drive-in doors, along with 105 trailer parking spaces and 243 car parking spaces on site.

Chad Frampton, president and CEO of Frampton Construction, commented, “We kicked off our first project in the Charleston Trade Center in 2017 with the construction of IFA’s facility, and it’s been so rewarding to witness the evolution of the park since then. The successful delivery of this campus is a testament to the collaborative spirit of the entire development team.”

Sagebrook Home’s building joins five other industrial facilities on the campus, four of which were constructed by Frampton. This completes the Charleston Trade Center’s planned 2.5M square-foot development, with all buildings fully leased.

McMillan Pazdan Smith Architecture completed the building’s design, while Alliance Consulting Engineers served as civil engineer.
