A development company is building an industrial facility near the planned Scout Motors site in Richland County.

Magnus Development Partners has begun work on a new 210,600-square-foot project called Access 77, a state-of-the-art spec industrial facility in Richland County, according to a news release.

The building will be located in Northpoint Industrial Park, the release stated. The project is adjacent to the new Scout Motors development with immediate access to Interstate 77, lending itself to a multitude of uses for logistics and manufacturing customers.

“We continue to see unprecedented demand for industrial space in the market and economic drivers such as Scout Motors continue to further fuel this demand,” said Magnus Development Partner Bill Owen in the release. “Magnus remains committed to providing Class ‘A’, state-of-the-art, industrial buildings to the ongoing needs of the market.”

The flexible design will allow for single or multi-tenant configurations and have the ability to serve a wide range of industrial tenants, the release stated. The tilt-up building will feature a 32-foot minimum clear height, 54-foot-by-50-foot bay spacing with a 60-foot speed bay, a 130-foot-deep truck court, motion-detected LED lighting, trailer parking, thirteen dock doors, expandable to 52, with dock equipment, and two drive-in doors.

Access 77 will be constructed on county-owned land at the Northpoint Industrial Park in Blythewood, the release stated. The Richland County Economic Development Office (RCEDO) has led the effort to generate a comprehensive economic development plan for the region.

“Our team works hard behind the scenes to attract good employers that create quality job opportunities,” said Jeff Ruble, RCEDO’s director, in the release. “We’re proud to partner with Magnus Development to bring this exciting project to Richland County”.

Chuck Salley, SIOR, Dave Mathews, SIOR, Thomas Beard, SIOR, and John Peebles of Colliers International Columbia’s industrial brokerage team will handle the leasing and marketing efforts for the property, according to the release.
