Imagine owning a strategic development site in one of North Charleston’s most industrially capable corridors, just moments from I‑526 and I‑26.

This property—comprised of a 2,400 SF existing building plus multiple adjacent parcels totaling ~1.61 acres—is already zoned M‑1 (Light Industrial)

and poised for transformational upside.

1. Zoning Power & Flexibility

The M‑1 (light industrial) zoning grants broad latitude for industrial, warehousing, logistics, and storage-based uses—the kinds of operations that

generate revenue per square foot and remain relatively low risk from a site operations standpoint. Because the property also carries B‑2 / office‑warehouse

compatibility, there’s added flexibility for hybrid uses (office + light manufacturing or distribution) or attractive interim cash flow

options. In many markets, self‑storage (especially climate‑controlled units, drive-up units, RV/boat storage) is considered a “clean,” low-maintenance

asset class—i.e. a highly compatible use in industrial zones with minimal nuisance or heavy traffic impact.

2. Self‑Storage: Highest & Best Use Case

Given its zoning, footprint, and frontage, the property is ideally suited for a self‑storage development. Self‑storage commands strong demand from

residential renters, small businesses, and e‑commerce operators. It scales well (stacked units, multiple stories) and is capital-efficient relative to

heavier industrial uses. The corridor location gives it visibility, access, and ease of use—key competitive advantages for a storage facility. Because

self-storage is relatively passive (no heavy operational complexity, smaller staffing, limited waste streams), it often delivers attractive risk-adjusted

returns. Should local codes or permitting require conditional use approval or design compliance (e.g. buffering, façade treatments), these are typically

manageable relative to building a more intensive industrial use. (Always confirm with City zoning / planning.)

3. Strategic Location & Market Access

Fronting Rivers Avenue, this site benefits from a major arterial route with high visibility and connectivity to the region’s transportation network. Near

I‑526 and I‑26 junctions means fast access to Charleston, North Charleston, Mt. Pleasant, Summerville, and key industrial nodes. Given scarcity

of well-zoned industrial parcels in the greater Charleston metro, this site presents a rare entry into a constrained supply set. It’s proximate to both

consumer and business density: residential areas, light industrial districts, and commercial corridors converge, generating demand for convenient

storage.
