Liberty Property Trust Brings Caliber North Online; Caliber Ridge Reaches 100% Occupancy

5/4/17

New Leases Round Out Portfolio 

Liberty Property Trust is putting the final touches on the first of two planned buildings at the new Caliber North Business Park in Greer, South Carolina during the same week in which it has reached 100% occupancy at the adjacent Caliber Ridge Business Park.

“It’s was a hectic but satisfying start of the year,” said Massie Flippin, vice president and market officer for Liberty in the Mid-Atlantic. “This building could not have come online at a better time, as we are more than 95% occupied across our entire Carolinas portfolio.”

The new building at Caliber North (2988 Green Road) offers 171,600 square feet of space. The LEEDÒ certified industrial building is the first in the market to offer 36-foot clear heights and 54-by-50-foot column spacing, providing a tremendous advantage to tenants.

“A higher roofline and wider aisles gives tenants more flexibility by increasing cubic volume and racking efficiency,” said Flippin. “For comparison, in a similar size warehouse with 32’ foot clear heights and 50-by-50-foot column spacing, you can store about 6,200 pallets of product. At Caliber North, you could store more than 8,000 pallets. It is tremendously cost efficient for our customers.”

The building features 260-foot depth, a 60-foot speed bay, rear loading, and energy-efficient LED lighting.  Its strategic location provides easy access to Highway 101 and I-85, as well as the Greenville-Spartanburg Airport and the Inland Port.

The development team includes MCA Architecture, blueWater Design and Harper Construction. The company has plans to develop a second, smaller (94,500 square foot) building to complete the park.
