Frampton Construction Company LLC has broken ground on the first phase of Mid85 industrial park in Spartanburg. Phase one consists of two speculative warehouse facilities totaling 1,195,342 square feet, according to a news release from Frampton Construction.

The park, which will total more than 2 million square feet when phase two is complete, is being developed by Greystar Real Estate Partners LLC, an investment, development and management company.

The two initial facilities will be constructed of tilt-up concrete wall panels and structural steel frames. Building one will total 277,648 square feet, with a rear-load layout, 32-foot clear height, 58 dock doors, and 78 trailer parking spots. Building two will measure 917,694 square feet, featuring a cross-dock layout, 40-foot clear height, 88 dock doors, and 201 parking spaces.

Located off Interstate-85, Mid85 is being marketed for its proximity to Inland Port Greer, Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport, and the Interstate 85/26 interchange.

The cost of the project was not divulged.

“Our team is excited for the opportunity to collaborate with Greystar on this significant industrial park project as they continue to expand their operations in the logistics sector,” Chad Frampton, CEO of Frampton Construction, said in the release. “The Spartanburg area is prime for industrial development, especially considering the ongoing expansion of Inland Port Greer.”

McMillan Pazdan Smith completed the design for the facilities. SeamonWhiteside is the civil engineer on the project, and WGPM Inc., is the structural engineer, the release stated. JLL is handling leasing for the park. Construction is expected to conclude in October 2024.
