Metal supplier expands footprint in Weston-owned building

Listen to this article

Metals supplier Sage International has expanded its operations at 103 Lachicotte Road in Lugoff in a building that is port of Weston’s Southeast Industrial Properties portfolio.

After originally signing a lease for 45,197 square feet in the building in 2021, the international supplier of manufactured products and metal forming, casting and stamping services expanded to the entire 121,017 square feet of space when it became available.

The property is owned by Cleveland-based commercial real estate owner and developer Weston Inc., which has nearly 7 million square feet in assets in South Carolina.

Colliers | South Carolina’s Chuck Salley, Dave Mathews, Thomas Beard and John Peebles represented Weston in the expansion and also found a tenant to sublease a portion of the expansion space until the Sage expansion.

Sage recently expanded its reach through the acquisition of U.S.-based Trident Components LLC, which is known for its metal casting, metal forming and plastic molding capabilities; and Jayco Manufacturing, recognized for its metal forming, powder coating and rapid prototyping expertise.

“Weston is pleased that we were able to find a solution for Sage as its business continues to grow,” Eileen McConville, Weston Inc. asset manager, said in a news release from Colliers. “They are a valued tenant, and we look forward to serving them for years to come.”

Colliers’ Grant Butler serves as the property manager for 103 Lachicotte Road.

Two Vista office spaces leased

NAI Columbia brokers facilitated the lease of two office spaces in the Congaree Vista.

Peyton Bryant and Ryan Causey facilitated the lease of 2,750 square feet of office space at 1325 Park St. and the lease of 2,600 square feet of office space at 1331 Park St.

“We were delighted to help the common ownership lease both of its vacant spaces in these high-end, historic properties on Park Street,” Bryant said in a news release. “These leases evidence an office leasing market that is rebounding and beginning to thrive again after several years of challenges due to the pandemic. Columbia is a great place to do business, and more companies are realizing this every day.”
