Greenville’s Sears is closing its doors. Signs announcing the store’s closure were on display when liquidation sales began on Friday, Feb. 7. Parent company Transformco had announced in November it would be closing 51 Sears and 45 Kmart stores by February 2020. The Sears at Haywood Mall had not been on the list of locations affected. A USA Today report said the store would shutter by mid-April. The closings do not affect the company’s 400 independently-operated Sears Hometown stores, which specialize in home appliances, home and garden, tools and sporting goods.

9 Projects you’ve been waiting for n story by ANNA LEE & JEANNIE PUTNAM

A new year has brought renewed commercial activity to the Upstate. New projects are being announced every week, and it’s getting harder to keep track of what’s going where. To help, we’ve compiled a list of some, but definitely not all, of the most anticipated developments, and what you can expect to see from them in 2020.

One

the avant

Initially announced: January 2015

712 S. Main St., Greenville Revised: November 2017

Status: Not Started Permitting for this six-story luxury condominium development is expected to begin in May 2020. The project was delayed by more than a year to obtain LEED certification, but the concept remains the same. It will feature 12 condos anchored by a still-unnamed groundfloor commercial tenant. Amenities include an 80-foot waterfall feature and automated “Lift Glide” garage. Three of the 12 units have already been sold, said Karen Turpin of Marchant Real Estate, and one condo is under contract for $2.3 million.

Two american spinning mill Initially announced: February 2016

300 Hammett St. Ext., Greenville

Revised: August 2019

Status: Undeveloped

This project is named after the 300,000-square-foot American Spinning mill. Once completed, it will add 315 apartments and 48,000 square feet of commercial space, according to an application from Detroit-based Contour Cos., which bought the mill and adjacent properties in April 2019 for about $9 million. A connection that would extend the Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail through the property is also proposed. The parcels had previously sold in 2016 to a Virginia-based investment group with plans to build 230 market-rate apartments, but the project stalled and was never completed.

Kessler, chairman and CEO of The Kessler Collection. The hotel, evoking the look of a rustic lodge, will also offer indoor and outdoor event spaces, a two-story restaurant and bar and a pool with views of the Reedy River Falls. It’s set to debut in early 2021.

400 N. Church St., Greenville Revised: January 2018

Status: Undeveloped Rajesh Patel and Kana Gateway LLC purchased the former Memorial Auditorium site in January 2018 for $3 million. A mixed-use development, including a branded boutique hotel, is planned, though no announcements have been made. The 1.8-acre site has attracted a number of proposals over the years — most recently an apartment complex with underground parking — but none have made it to construction. City leaders had started to refer to it as the “Bermuda Triangle” of downtown Greenville. February 14, 2020 | upstatebusinessjournal.com

burdette central Announced: March 2019

East Curtis and Main streets, Simpsonville

Status: Under Construction

Named after the historic Burdette Hardware building that once sat on the property, this 27,000-square-foot, mixed-use project currently houses Sidewall Pizza and Kaffeine Coffee and Roastery. Smoqued BBQ is expected to open on June 1, and up to 10 more retail, restaurant, entertainment or office tenants are expected to fill in the remaining spaces. Construction is expected to be completed by mid 2020.

former allen bennett hospital Announced: January 2017

Wade Hampton Boulevard and Memorial Drive, Greer

Status: Complete

Upstate car dealer Jim Benson opened his expanded Chrysler Dodge Jeep dealership on the former hospital site in December 2019 after paying Greer more than $3 million for the 10-acre property. Greenville Health System had gifted the property to the city in 2010, and the city subsequently spent years trying to resell it for redevelopment. The city was able to sell the property in 2011 to Cardinal Real Estate for $1.4 million, but the company filed for bankruptcy less than a year later, and the site was returned to Greer.

Seven judson mill Announced: November 2017

701 Easley Bridge Road, Greenville Status: Under Development

Developers recently secured a $31 million loan to fund this ambitious mill renovation featuring 204 apartments, a community pool, fitness center and courtyard. Plans also eventually call for 215,000 square feet of office space, 106,000 square feet of industrial space and up to 12 acres of retail. The current owners, Judson Ventures LLC, purchased the 36-acre mill and surrounding parcels for $6 million after the mill ceased operations in 2015. The loan will fund the fi| rst phase 14, of renovation, which is focused on the multifamily development. February 2020 8 UBJ

MILESTONE

Constructing a network

OVER 10 YEARS, CREW UPSTATE HAS BUILT A STRONG CORE OF WOMEN IN COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE

n story by JOHN JETER | photos PROVIDED

Maurie Lawrence remembers trying to gauge whether anyone in Greenville would be interested in starting an organization composed solely of professional women in commercial real estate. “I met with a bunch of different people and I said, ‘Oh, really, you’re interested? Would you be interested in working on it before even launching?’” she recalls. At the first formal meeting, “we probably had 35 [people],” she says. This year, that group, CREW Upstate, marks its 10th anniversary as a chapter in the international CREW Network, whose 12,000 members — all commercial real estate women, hence the acronym — must apply to and are then vetted to join one of its 77 chapters. “Ten years is an important milestone for a chapter,” says Laura Lewis, chief marketing officer for the Lawrence, Kansas-based group representing virtually every aspect of commercial real estate. “Ten years is a pretty young chapter in the scheme of our organization, but once they get that foundation — like the Upstate has — the growth in a decade can be really strong.” CREW Upstate now boasts 108 members, who forge deals and relationships through professional-development and educational programs, awards and, of course, networking. “You have camaraderie with people that are experiencing a lot of the same stuff that you are,” says Angela Self, CREW Upstate’s new president, “and we have that because we’re all women in a more male-dominated industry.” Lewis notes that women represent 35% of that industry in the U.S. and just 9% in the C suite. CREW

CREW UPSTATE’S

First Decade

Network is now working with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on a 2020 study, and they “hope to see improvements in both areas,” Lewis says. Lawrence, who is senior counsel and director of ethics and compliance at Milliken & Co., says she began working on developing an organization for female commercial real estate professionals in 2008. “I started meeting with women to say, ‘Hey, what do you think? I’ve seen this works in Charlotte [and] Atlanta,’ and most people, most women, said, ‘Tell me more.’ People who are not women in commercial real estate would say, ‘Are there enough women [to form a chapter]?’” There were and more — and the chapter now also includes men. “I know, it’s crazy, isn’t it?” Self says. “We need the support of men that are in our industry to keep helping to advance the achievements of women.” Michael Watts is one of them. The financial planner and real estate developer, whose Consolidated Planning Inc. office sits across the hall from DP3’s suite in the Wells Fargo Bank building on Main Street, joined CREW Upstate a little more than a year ago. “I think that women bring a whole new perspective to business that we as males are not exposed to — they look at things differently,” he says. “They just do because they’re female. There’s some sharp women in there. Sharp.” Watts pays the $350 yearly membership fee, which, as he and the others say, pays for itself. For Lisa

You have camaraderie with people that are experiencing a lot of the same stuff that you are. And we have that because we’re all women in a more male-dominated industry.” -Angela Self, president, CREW Upstate Dwight, director of marketing at DP3 Architects, CREW changed her professional life. “This is personal to me,” she says. “I had anxiety issues for my entire career, and so I never joined a networking organization because I was always just afraid.” Then CREW Upstate recruited her. “And it has completely changed my professional landscape. The people that I met were instrumental in bringing me out of my shell,” says Dwight, who moved from the communications committee member to committee chair to president-elect to president in four years.

“I never would have imagined that six years ago.” Lawrence couldn’t have imagined a decade ago what the organization would look like today. Now CREW Upstate includes real estate bankers, architects and even a professional like Self, who specializes in “building biology”; she’s founder and principal of Vital Spaces and a licensed residential builder and contractor. CREW Upstate’s success is “a testament to the leadership they have, to have a strong core of professionals who are pulling everyone together,” says Lewis. “It’s obvious they have that.”

Creek Walk tiny home community brings simplified living to Travelers Rest n story ^ photos by JESSICA MULLEN

Creek Walk, a community of tiny homes, welcomed its first residents in July, 2019. The community is located on the Swamp Rabbit Trail in Travelers Rest, just 20 minutes from downtown Greenville. Every tiny home at Creek Walk is under 400 square feet, according to the community’s website, but developer Justin Draplin says most people don’t mind the cozy setup.

An important part of the community is the simpliﬁed living aspect.” -Justin Draplin, developer, Creek Walk

“A lot of people don’t want to live in an apartment or a condo because they have to share a wall. These houses have windows all the way around with views of nature. Even though it’s a small space at 400 square feet, you can have an 800-square-foot apartment that feels smaller than this,” he says. “An important part of the community is the simplified living aspect,” Draplin says. “Everyone who moves here expects to get rid of stuff. Sometimes they have anxiety about it, but once they start doing it I get texts like ‘Justin, I started throwing stuff away, and it feels great!’” Draplin shares the story of one resident who has chosen to put

REAL ESTATE

Retail opportunities persist despite market confusion n by TOMMY MOLIN | graphs PROVIDED

If one thing is clear about the retail sector in the Greenville and Spartanburg central business districts, it is that the process for accurately assessing and predicting market conditions is getting more complicated. Recent data offers a conflicting message:

IN THE LAST THREE QUARTERS: • Overall market vacancy rates for Class A and B retail properties: +830 basis points to 5.0%. • Rents -5% to $12.13/SF on a triplet net basis. • Greenville CBD vacancy rates: +5,200 basis points to 8.9% • Rents +27% to $25.51/SF. • Spartanburg CBD vacancy rates: +2,100 basis points to 7.8% • Rents +9% to $15.64/SF.

What do the retail stats above really mean? What is really happening in our market affecting these statistics? Retail rates vary greatly and are dependent upon the location, demographics, traffic counts, age, size, access, parking and visibility, as well as other factors. When you look at the suburbs outside of the Greenville CBD and Spartanburg CBD, which makes up the majority of the overall market, existing Class A and B retail centers have been

leasing up due to little new inventory, thereby reducing vacancy, and rates have remained steady for the product type. The asking rents for existing class A properties in the suburbs on desirable corridors with over 25,000 vehicles per days and favorable demographics typically range from $18 to $22 per square foot, and Class B properties typically range from $12 to $16 per square foot. The existing centers that are located on corridors with lower car

counts and less favorable demographics have lower asking rents. Total market rates include a blend of all of these property types and average $12 to $13 per square foot. The majority of new development and redevelopment over the last 36 months in our market has been centered around grocery-anchored or urban mixed-use projects, which is a consistent trend in the Southeast and U.S. With rising land cost and construction cost, asking retail rents for new projects typically range from $25 to 35 per square foot. The retailers that can afford to pay this rent must have high sales volumes that benefit from the anchor grocer or can maximize the benefits of an urban mixed use setting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; proximity to local residents, daily workforce and tourism. Over the last 12 months in downtown Greenville and downtown Spartanburg, vacancy rates increased and asking rents also increased, which may seem counterintuitive. A deeper dive reveals many of the new mixed use projects in the CBD take a long time to develop and the retail spaces typically lease up after the major anchor (hotel, apartments, office) is open. The income generated from the anchor typically makes each project economically viable on its own. As a result, landlords of retail spaces in mixed-use projects can be patient to select suitable tenants who add value to the project and surrounding area.

Tommy Molin is vice president of the Retail Group at CBRE in Greenville.

Additionally, in the last quarter several very high-profile newer locations have come on the market in the Greenville CBD specifically with higher asking rents that have raised the average. The market rent (rent that tenants actually pay) can vary in CBD locations by $10 to $15 per square foot, depending on the block where a property is located. When evaluating older CBD properties, it is important to have a clear understanding of the market rents on that block but more importantly have a firm understanding of the cost to retrofit an older building to meet current code for a tenantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use so that you can compare competing properties apples to apples. Recent retail headlines communicate a clear message of retailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decline. While it is true that many retailers are struggling in their adjustment to incorporate stronger e-commerce, the sector is still filled with opportunities. Due to conflicts between headline risk and confusing market conditions, the value of well-informed advisement has never been greater.

PROFILE

Base 360’s projects ‘focus on the cool stuff ’ n story by JOHN JETER

Growing up in Charlotte, Nick Gilley spent hours playing in sawdust pits on his father’s construction sites, where the self-proclaimed “king of Lincoln Logs” assembled “mansions.” Today, Nick’s found a niche for his fast-building construction company. “We want to be known as the guys who are doing the unique, interesting projects,” says Gilley, 39, president and founder of Base 360 General Contractors, reminiscing in his offices’ glasswalled conference room in a squat white building on Augusta Street. One particular stretch of the street, a half-mile that encompasses his headquarters and two current projects, offers an apt illustration of Gilley’s passions: bringing old buildings back to life and creating something entirely new. Take Gilley’s soon-to-be residence, for instance. Near Fluor Field, a building that was a barbershop and social club in the 1960s will soon be home to Gilley, his wife, Sarah, 39, and their two children. Yet another couple of blocks closer to Greenville’s West End, Base 360’s latest and perhaps most daunting work, Gather GVL, opens soon. “It’s been an extremely challenging project,” says Doug Cross, the older half of the father-son team behind the open-air food court at 126 Augusta St. Cross credits Carl Jones, Base 360’s project manager and “one of the finest human beings I’ve ever known,” for coming up with “creative approaches to challenging issues and getting to the finish line. I don’t know that, without Carl, this would have happened.” With its steel shipping containers, a stage and picnic tables, the project pushes the envelope of what Gilley calls “construction science.” While the FR8Yard, which opened in Spartanburg in 2017, bills itself as “South Carolina’s first fully outdoor biergarten built entirely from repurposed shipping containers,” Gilley says, “We are now the company known in Greenville as the leaders in shipping-container construction.”

Gilley’s heart, though, still beats in buildings of the past, with 75% of Base 360’s portfolio involving historic properties, including: Elements West, a $12 million renovation of the 1930s-era E.W. Montgomery Cotton Warehouse at 2 Waco St., with 60 new units in what’s billed as Greenville’s first solar-powered apartment building. Edgefield Hotel, a 1919 hotel in Edgefield with more than 30 rooms, a restaurant, bar, spa and two retail spaces. “We can’t recreate what we cannot build the way they used to,” he says. “These buildings had a moment in time, in history, that needs to be promoted. We have an obligation as a society to restore these structures.” Base 360 didn’t start that way. “I just moved here with next to nothing,” Gilley recalls of his arrival to Greenville in 2004, a year after he graduated with a finance degree from the University of North Carolina-Charlotte. “I knew I had skills, and I was able to pick up more renovation jobs pretty quickly.” Early on, his living came primarily from renovating kitchens and bathrooms. At the same time, he joined an Atlanta development firm specializing in public-private partnerships. Among other projects, that company restored Mitchell House, built as a luxury hotel in 1875 in Thomasville, Georgia. Gilley served as general contractor for that $12 million condominium project. While also continuing work in Greenville, he got his first major solo gig: The Elements, a collection of green-construction condos on Mohawk Drive. In 2010, he started building in Acadia, a subdivision of high-end homes in Piedmont; that work lasted eight years. Now, with 2019 revenues totaling some $7 million — up 240% from the year before — Base 360 has a dozen projects ongoing, with more on the way. The company, employing 17 people, just completed a five-year plan that also includes affordable housing: using Greenville’s topography to build homes into hillsides. Beyond construction, he and Sarah opened MADabolic, a fitness franchise, at McBee Station in 2016 after Base 360 completed upfit work there. “Let’s focus on the cool stuff,” he says. “Yes, historic restoration has a lot to do with that, but we’re looking out years ahead.”

LIST OF PROJECTS: Elements West

E.W. Montgomery Cotton Warehouse is now Elements West, 806 Green Ave. Added to the National Register of Historic Buildings in 2012, the site most recently served as Section 8 housing and will soon feature a pool and club room, which will offer free Wi-Fi, a bar area and attached theater.

BUSINESS

In good times and bad, franchises move to the Upstate

n by EVAN PETER SMITH | photo PROVIDED

There’s a curious thing that happens when the economy goes belly-up, at least if you’re in the business of recruiting for franchise companies. Mike Hall, market president for Frannet, an executive recruiting firm for franchise companies, remembers what happened back in the dark days of 2008 to 2010. “Those were bad years for business, bad years for people who wanted to work, really high unemployment. And yet during that time, we probably saw more people buying franchise businesses than we ever had before,” Hall says.

But that correlation makes sense if you think about it, according to Hall, because if someone has no job and bleak prospects of finding one, the inherent risk of going into business for oneself seems less ominous. Jump ahead to today’s “roaring, raging economy,” as Hall calls it. “With everyone working now, as opposed to back in 2008, I think what we’re seeing right now is actually a slight decrease from years prior,” he says. Hall says he’s glad to see a slight dip if it means the economy is doing well across the board. He says the locations under his purview still offer THREE NEW FRANCHISES unique opporCOMING TO GREENVILLE: tunities for franchise businesses.

which has seen consistent growth year over year. Greenville’s recent Downtown Master Plan projects that the downtown population will grow by up to 6,000 new residents in the next eight years. That growth is enticing for companies like the doggie day care company Hounds Town USA, which is expanding into Greenville. “The area has seen significant growth since the last official census,” says Hounds Town USA founder and CEO Michael Gould. “In particular, downtown Greenville is an attractive area due to the recent revitalization as a residential and business hub

where young professional and families are in need of pet care while they are at work or traveling.” Companies that offer franchises are also taking note of the high rates of home construction. Greenville County’s housing market has seen consistent yearly growth, with the number of building permits in 2019 (3,714 permits) exceeding the number of permits issued at the pre-recession peak of the housing market in 2006 (3,698 permits), according to the Home Builders Association of Greenville’s 2020 Housing Profile.

Jackson Marketing Group celebrates 25 years By sherry Jackson | staff | sjackson@communityjournals.com

Solve. Serve. Grow. Those three words summarize Jackson Marketing Group’s guiding principles, and according to owner Larry Jackson, form the motivation that has kept the firm thriving for the past 25 years.

Jackson graduated from Bob Jones University with a degree in video and film production and started his 41-year career in the communications industry with the U.S. Army’s Public Information Office. He served during

Vietnam, where he said he was “luckily” stationed in the middle of Texas at Fort Hood. He left the service and went to work in public affairs and motorsports at Ford Motor Company in Detroit. After a stint at Bell and Howell, where he was responsible for managing Ford’s dealer marketing and training, the entrepreneurial bug hit and he co-founded Jackson-Dawson Marketing Communications, a company specializing in dealer training and product launches for the auto industry in 1980. In 1987, Jackson wanted to move back south and thought Greenville would be a good fit. An avid pilot, he

learned of an opportunity to purchase Cornerstone Aviation, a fixed base operation (FBO) that served as a service station for the Greenville Downtown Airport, providing fuel, maintenance and storage. In fact, when he started the Greenville office of what is now Jackson Marketing Group (JMG) in 1988, the offices were housed on the second floor in an airport hangar. “Clients would get distracted by the airplanes in the hangars and we’d have to corral them to get back upstairs to the meeting,” Jackson said. Jackson sold the FBO in 1993, but says it was a great way to get to know Greenville’s fathers and leaders

with a majority of them utilizing the general aviation airport as a “corporate gateway to the city.” In 1997, Jackson and his son, Darrell, launched Jackson Motorsports Group. The new division was designed to sell race tires and go to racetracks to sell and mount the tires. Darrell Jackson now serves as president of the motorsports group and Larry Jackson has two other children and a son-in-law who work there. Jackson said all his children started at the bottom and “earned their way up.” Jackson kept the Jackson-Dawson branches in Detroit and others in Los Angeles and New York until he sold his portion of that partnership in 2009 as part of his estate planning. The company now operates a small office in Charlotte, but its main headquarters are in Greenville in a large office space off Woodruff Road, complete with a vision gallery that displays local artwork and an auditorium Jackson makes available for non-profit use. The Motorsports Group is housed in an additional 26,000 square feet building just down the street, and the agency is currently looking for another 20,000 square feet. Jackson said JMG has expanded into other verticals such as financial, healthcare, manufacturing and pro-bono work, but still has a strong focus on the auto industry and transportation. It’s

also one of the few marketing companies in South Carolina to handle all aspects of a project in-house, with four suites handling video production, copywriting, media and research and web design. Clients include heavyweights such as BMW, Bob Jones University, the Peace Center, Michelin and Sage Automotive. Recent projects have included an interactive mobile application for Milliken’s arboretum and 600-acre Spartanburg campus and a marketing campaign for the 2013 Big League World Series. “In my opinion, our greatest single achievement is the longevity of our client relationships,” said Darrell Jackson. “Our first client from back in 1988 is still a client today. I can count on one hand the number of clients who have gone elsewhere in the past decade.” Larry Jackson says his Christian faith and belief in service to others, coupled with business values rooted in solving clients’ problems, have kept

him going and growing his business over the years. He is passionate about giving back and outreach to non-profits. The company was recently awarded the Community Foundation Spirit Award. The company reaffirmed its commitment to serving the community last week by celebrating its 25th anniversary with a birthday party and a 25-hour Serve-A-Thon partnership with Hands on Greenville and Habitat for Humanity. JMG’s 103 full-time employees worked in shifts around the clock on October 22 and 23 to help construct a house for a deserving family. As Jackson inches towards retirement, he says he hasn’t quite figured out his succession plan yet, but sees the companies staying under the same umbrella. He wants to continue to strategically grow the business. “From the beginning, my father has taught me that this business is all about our people – both our clients and our associates,” said his son, Darrell. “We have created a focus and a culture that strives to solve problems, serve people and grow careers.” Darrell Jackson said he wants to “continue helping lead a culture where we solve, serve and grow. If we are successful, we will continue to grow towards our ultimate goal of becoming the leading integrated marketing communications brand in the Southeast.”
