🏢 Charleston & South Carolina Commercial Real Estate Update — Q3 2026

The Charleston market continues to evolve, and the latest numbers tell a more nuanced story than simply “up” or “down.”

📊 What I’m Watching

• 🏭 Industrial: Charleston absorbed more than 3.46 million SF during the first half of 2026, with vacancy continuing to fall. Flex and smaller-bay industrial remain particularly tight. (Colliers⁠)

• 🏢 Office: Quality continues to matter. Larger Class A blocks are becoming harder to find, with prime Peninsula rents exceeding $50/SF and newer top-end space reaching above $60/SF. (Colliers⁠)

• 🏘️ Multifamily: Development continues moving inland toward North Charleston, Summerville and Goose Creek, following population and affordability patterns. (Colliers⁠)

• ⚡ Development: Across South Carolina, available power is becoming an increasingly important consideration for industrial users and developers. (Colliers⁠)

• 📈 Economy: South Carolina added 10,800 jobs in August, with employment up 1.6% year-over-year. (Bureau of Labor Statistics⁠)

💡 My Take

That suggests to me that Charleston is entering a more selective phase of the cycle. The opportunities are still there—but understanding the specific asset, submarket, tenant base and basis matters more than ever.

As always, I’m here to help evaluate your options and make sense of the market.

🏗️ Multifamily Construction Is Pulling Back

The latest housing data caught my attention—not simply because total housing starts declined, but because of the significant difference between single-family and multifamily activity.

Market Insights 📊

• U.S. housing starts fell 2.6% in August.
• Multifamily starts plunged nearly 22%.
• Single-family starts increased 7.6%.
• Building permits declined 2.7%.
• Housing completions dropped nearly 12%.
• Mortgage rates were still approaching 7%, keeping pressure on builders and buyers. (CRE Daily⁠)

Why does this matter to multifamily investors?

That suggests to me that the future apartment supply pipeline deserves just as much attention as current occupancy and rent growth.

If fewer projects move forward, future competition could eventually moderate. But today’s financing costs, construction economics, available inventory, and market-specific demand still need to be carefully underwritten.

And while national data gives us an important backdrop, Charleston and the broader South Carolina market need to be evaluated on their own fundamentals.

📈 The takeaway: Development trends can create both risks and opportunities—but the numbers have to work on the individual asset.

As always, I’m here to help evaluate your options, whether you’re considering buying, selling, developing, or simply trying to understand where the market is heading.

🏢 CRE Market Update: Refinancing Pressure Is Back

The Fed just raised its benchmark rate 25 basis points to 3.75%–4.00%, while the 10-year Treasury moved above 5%. That combination matters for commercial real estate. (CRE Daily⁠)

📊 What I’m Watching

• Refinancing: Owners with upcoming maturities may face materially higher borrowing costs.
• Valuations: Higher debt costs can put pressure on pricing and cap rates.
• Transactions: Buyers may need stronger income or lower acquisition prices to make deals work.
• Development: Higher financing costs can make marginal projects harder to pencil.
• Capital: Well-capitalized owners may have more flexibility than highly leveraged borrowers.

💡 My Take

That suggests to me that we’re entering another period where the quality of the underwriting matters enormously.

If you’re evaluating an acquisition, I wouldn’t just ask, “Does this deal work today?”

I’d also ask:

👉 What happens when the loan matures?
👉 What if the refinance rate is significantly higher?
👉 How much equity might be required?
👉 Does the property’s cash flow provide enough cushion?

In this environment, understanding the downside isn’t pessimism—it’s good underwriting.

As always, I’m here to help evaluate your options and work through the numbers before the market makes the decision for you.

🏢 The Office Market Is Recovering… But Not All Office Properties Are Recovering the Same Way

There’s an interesting distinction in the latest office-market data: transaction activity is improving faster than property values.

📊 Market Insights

• Office deal counts have moved back toward pre-pandemic levels faster than traded square footage or dollar volume.

• Smaller office buildings have generally held their value better.

• Since Q4 2019, median pricing is up 42% for properties under 50,000 SF.

• Meanwhile, median pricing for buildings over 500,000 SF is down 36%.

• The traditional pricing premium for large office properties has narrowed considerably.

💡 My Takeaway

That suggests to me that we need to be careful when interpreting headlines about an “office recovery.”

More transactions don’t necessarily mean that the market has returned to previous valuation levels. In fact, larger properties are coming back to market at significantly lower pricing.

For buyers, this may create opportunities—but the numbers still need to work based on basis, cash flow, tenant quality, capital requirements, and long-term demand.

For owners, understanding how your property’s size and characteristics affect today’s buyer pool is increasingly important.

As always, I’m here to help evaluate your options, whether you’re considering buying, selling, leasing, or simply trying to understand what the market is telling us. 📈🏢

Big-Box Industrial Demand Is Coming Back — And Charleston Is Participating 📈🏭

Market Insights

The national industrial market is showing some encouraging signs.

According to CRE Daily and Colliers:

* 📊 Bulk industrial move-ins of 100,000+ SF are up 25% year over year
* 📈 Net absorption jumped 82% to 108M SF
* 🏗️ Large users are expanding again, especially in logistics, manufacturing, construction, and data-center supply chains
* 📦 E-commerce demand is beginning to re-emerge (CRE Daily⁠)

What About Charleston?

This is particularly interesting here in the Lowcountry.

Charleston absorbed more than 3.46M SF of industrial space during the first half of 2026, with vacancy falling 362 basis points from the end of 2025. (Colliers⁠)

That suggests to me that Charleston’s industrial market is beginning to work through the excess supply created by several years of aggressive development.

But there’s an important distinction: not all industrial product is behaving the same way.

🏢 Larger distribution and manufacturing facilities are seeing renewed activity, while smaller flex and industrial properties remain especially competitive.

Advisory Perspective

For investors and property owners, this is a market where the details matter.

The right question isn’t simply, “Is industrial demand coming back?”

It’s where, what size, what quality, and at what economics?

As always, I’m here to help evaluate your options and make sense of what the market means for your next commercial real estate decision.
