Chesterfield LLC acquires site for Carolina Pines International Commerce Center; NAI Columbia’s industrial team to lead leasing

April 7, 2025

Chesterfield LLC has officially closed on the acquisition of a prime industrial site in Richland County, paving the way for the development of the Carolina Pines International Commerce Center. This milestone marks the beginning of a transformative project that will bring high-quality speculative warehouse and distribution space, as well as build-to-suit opportunities, to the Midlands.

“We are excited to close on this strategic land acquisition and begin development on what we believe will be a premier industrial site for both speculative and build-to-suit opportunities,” said Chance Raehn, Senior Vice President of Development at Chesterfield LLC.

NAI Columbia’s industrial leasing team, John Gregory, Bill Lamar, and Grice Hunt, will lead the leasing efforts for the Carolina Pines International Commerce Center, strategically located off I-77, Farrow Road, and Carolina Pines Drive. This state-of-the-art development will support the region’s growing industrial sector by providing modern infrastructure for logistics, manufacturing, and distribution, further bolstering momentum from major projects like Scout Motors.

“Partnering with the team at NAI Columbia has been instrumental, and we are enthusiastic about delivering Class A industrial space that meets the growing demand in Richland County and the greater Columbia MSA,” said Raehn. “With the momentum generated by Scout Motors and the region’s robust industrial activity, we see significant potential for long-term growth and value creation.”

NAI Columbia is committed to delivering exceptional real estate services, leveraging its market expertise to ensure the project meets the evolving needs of businesses seeking space in the Columbia Metropolitan area and beyond.
