WHO'S BUYING?

The Charlotte industrial market is attracting out-of-market buyers, such as NJ-based Silverman Group, which recently paid $9.7M for the 560k SF  10000 Twin Lakes Parkway distribution facility.
 
Leasing will continue to be strong enough to translate into upward pressure on industrial rents, according to Cushman & Wakefield-Thalhimer's Warren Snowdon and Chris Norvell, who repped the buyer. That'll keep investors interested, Chris tells us: The I-85 corridor from Greenville to Raleigh in particular has their attention. (But it also attracts police cars: slow down!)
