Karis Cold Begins 278K-SF Cold Storage in Rock Hill

Karis Cold, a FL-based developer of cold storage facilities, has begun a 277,785-square-foot industrial cold storage facility in the Charlotte submarket of Rock Hill, SC.

The project marks the first cold storage spec facility in the region according to JLL, which is handling marketing and leasing efforts for the property.

“Charlotte has been on our radar since 2018 as it continues to cement itself as a top industrial hub in the US,” Jake Finley, founder and CEO of Karis Cold. “We saw a strategic investment opportunity to develop the region’s only speculative cold storage facility and add to the economic development of the area while strategically being down I-77 in SC to benefit from state and local employment resources.”

Encompassing warehouse and build-to-suit office space across 40 acres, the facility is equipped with convertible freezers, 50’ clear heights, 28 dock doors with two drive-in doors and 47 trailer parking stalls. The facility is expected to deliver in Q1 2024.
