Columbia, SC Commercial Real Estate Market Overview

Location Photo
The local economy in Columbia, S.C., is fueled by activity within the military, health care and manufacturing sectors. Recently, the city benefited from a series of downtown revitalization projects, such as the adaptive reuse of the Confederate Printing Plant on Gervais and Huger.  Major manufacturing companies such as Pirelli, Michelin, International Paper and Honeywell drive the demand for commercial real estate properties here. Central Midlands Regional Transit Authority — commonly referred to as The Comet — handles public transportation within the city and its neighboring suburbs though a fleet of express shuttles and buses. The city is accessible via several highways — such as I-26, I-20, I-77 and I-126 — while Amtrak, Megabus and Greyhound also have stops here. It’s also serviced by Columbia Metropolitan Airport and the much smaller Jim Hamilton-L.B. Owens Airport in Rosewood.
