Atlas Commerce Center is pleased to announce that it has executed a lease with Labinal Power Systems, part of the Safran Group, for 25,000 SF located in Phase 1 of its project at 8351 Palmetto Commerce Parkway in North Charleston, South Carolina. Atlas Commerce Center is comprised of two 67,500 SF dock height warehouse buildings, with the first building to be competed in April of 2016. “We are thrilled to have Labinal Power Systems as our first tenant,” said Warren Zinn, the Developer of Atlas Commerce Center, “as an aerospace company with locations around the world, they were a natural fit for the project.” Alan Bolduc, CCIM, SIOR of Avison Young commercial real estate represented the Landlord, Kalulo Development, LLC and Jim Hazard, SIOR, of E.

When the warehouse, a class “A” speculative building measuring 67,500 square feet, is completed, it will also include a second 67,500 square-foot structure.

“Atlas Commerce Center aims to serve a niche group of businesses who need space ranging from 7,500 to 67,500 square feet, but who still demand the same high level of quality and features usually reserved for much larger users,” Atlas Capital Group Inc. Principal Warren Zinn said. “The tilt-up building incorporates modern design with functionality, including some features such as 30-foot clear ceilings, large truck aprons, multiple dock doors per bay and high parking ratios.”

A Miami-based real estate developer has started clearing land on a 12-acre tract in Palmetto Commerce Park in North Charleston for its new Atlas Commerce Center.

The first of two 67,500- square-foot speculative warehouses is set for completion by March, said Warren Zinn, president of Atlas Capital Group. Depending on leases, the second building will follow with completion set for no later than November 2016.

“Charleston is an attractive market,” Zinn said, referring to Boeing’s growth and automakers Daimler and Volvo Cars each planning to build $500 million auto-manufacturing plants in the Lowcountry.

The buildings are being designed to be subdivided into as many as nine 7,500-square-foot units each because Zinn believes the demand in Charleston doesn’t always require cavernous warehouses.
