Axial Industrial By Crescent Communities Announces Construction Start At Axial Crosspoint And Axial 301 Manatee
CHARLOTTE, NC – (June 1, 2022) – Crescent Communities, a nationally-recognized, market-leading real estate investor and developer, today announces the start of construction on two new industrial investments, AXIAL Crosspoint in Greenville, SC and AXIAL 301 Manatee in Bradenton, FL. Both properties will launch under Crescent Communities’ new and rapidly growing industrial platform, AXIAL, and are slated for completion in 2023.
AXIAL Crosspoint
AXIAL Crosspoint will offer three rear-load buildings totaling 552,300 square feet with expansive employee and trailer parking space, and flexibility to accommodate multiple tenants. The configuration is ideal for both local and regional distribution-focused tenants as well as light manufacturing and assembly users. Located near BMW, Michelin, Bosch, and more, AXIAL Crosspoint is strategically positioned at the interchange of I-85 and I-185 in the largest MSA in South Carolina. The site’s interstate frontage will allow its backlit signage to be visible from the roadway day and night.
AXIAL 301 Manatee
With over 21 acres and two buildings totaling approximately 295,000 square feet, AXIAL 301 Manatee is strategically located along the I-75/Highway 301 Corridor in Bradenton, FL. With rear-load capacity, a shared truck court and tilt-wall concrete construction, each building is designed to boast multiple storefront entrances and is made to accommodate up to four tenants. The 301 Manatee site will also deliver a road that will connect 24th & 44thAvenues in Bradenton, allowing better access for the entire county.
“Following the launch earlier this year of AXIAL, our new industrial umbrella, we are eager to bring these two new investments to market as we continue to expand our industrial footprint into new territories,” said Bryan Blythe, Managing Director of AXIAL Industrial at Crescent Communities’ Commercial business unit. “With decades of industrial development experience, our team at Crescent Communities’ AXIAL division looks forward to bringing unmatched industrial offerings to the Greenville-Spartanburg and Tampa/Bradenton areas through these high-quality, state-of-the-art logistics facilities.”
Furthering AXIAL’s growth in new and prospective markets, AXIAL Crosspoint and AXIAL 301 Manatee are each positioned as infill developments, located near key population areas. Both infill developments can serve as last mile locations, providing tenants with the ability to deliver items in a one-to-two-hour window to nearby residences.
AXIAL Crosspoint will be located at 101 – 301 Piedmont Grove Park, Greenville, SC. Partners include MCA Architecture (architect), SeamonWhiteside (civil engineer), Harper Corporation (contractor), CBRE (leasing), AEW Capital Management (equity), and Santendar (lender).
