Alterra IOS and ARCO develop Charleston storage site for liquid bulk services provider

Alterra IOS, a player in the industrial outdoor storage (IOS) sector that has acquired over 280 sites nationwide, announced the partial delivery of a 21.6 usable acre industrial outdoor storage facility located in Charleston, South Carolina.

The project was developed in partnership with ARCO and is a build-to-suit for tenant Heniff Transportation Systems, a leading national liquid bulk services provider.

The storage yard is just 15 miles from the Port of Charleston and provides easy access to the newly developed Hugh Leatherman Terminal and Wando Watch Terminal.

“This site is one of our largest and the fact that the design supports six-high stacking for shipping containers makes it an extremely unique and desirable asset for a major transportation company like Heniff as they expand operations in the Charleston area,” said Charlie Totten, senior vice-president at Alterra IOS.

“We’re always eager to pursue opportunities that meet growing demand from national IOS tenants through thoughtfully designed, centrally located properties like 7101 Bryhawke, and we look forward to expanding our presence in the Charleston market, especially as the city’s port activity continues to flourish.”

The site features roughly 75,000 square yards of container storage space accompanied by 3,200 square feet of office space and 18,000 square feet of service and shop bay space.

Heniff’s future tank cleaning operations, which require robust electrical service, water, water reclamation systems, and gas service, will be supported by the site’s shop space. The development also includes ample truck and trailer parking spaces and 16 drive-in doors with drive-through capabilities.
