Colliers International facilitates lease for Home Depot at Magnus Development’s Midway Logistics VI in Lexington County Industrial Park

Colliers International | South Carolina announces that Home Depot has signed a 68,040-square-foot lease at Midway Logistics VI, Magnus Development’s speculative industrial development under construction in Lexington County Industrial Park in West Columbia, SC.

Chuck Salley, SIOR, Dave Mathews, SIOR, Thomas Beard and John Peebles of Colliers’ Columbia industrial brokerage team represented Magnus Development in the transaction.

Home Depot, whose distribution center is also located in the park, needed to find additional space due to their rapid growth and demand for their products in 2020. It will use Midway Logistics VI as a last-mile delivery location for e-commerce sales.

“Home Depot brings the only tilt-wall, Class A building under construction in the Columbia industrial market to 35% pre-leased, demonstrating the need for additional availability in this product class,” said Salley, Vice President and Director of Industrial Brokerage Team. “Magnus Development has proven their ability to construct a building that delivers on time as seen with their other Midway Logistics developments, and that was attractive to Home Depot. Since there is currently zero vacancy in this product type in the market, we expect to have Midway Logistics VI completely leased when it is delivered in the second quarter of 2021.”

124,740 square feet remains for lease at Midway Logistics VI. The 192,780-square-foot Class A warehouse features a 32-foot clear height, high-capacity loading and enhanced trailer parking. The building has a smart, energy-efficient design with flexibility for users to accommodate as little as 34,020 square feet. The ESFR sprinkler system will allow tenants to maximize the cubic feet of storage space, and the motion sensor LED light fixtures provide daylight brightness in the warehouse with utility savings for the tenant.

“It was a pleasure working with Home Depot’s real estate team and we look forward to delivering this important project to them in June,” said Kevin Werner, Partner with Magnus Development.
