Recent Acquisitions
Properties We’ve Acquired
Real deals. Real problems solved. Here’s how we’ve helped commercial property owners move forward.
Commercial Land — 10 acres
NC – Along I-85
Vacant commercial parcel
The seller of this 10 acre parcel off I-85 wanted a quick closing without rezoning or entitlements. We were able to give them a cash offer based on the existing agriculture land value and close in a few weeks. The seller had sold off a portion of the land to another developer years ago and had no interest in developing it or waiting for it to be rezoned or entitled. We purchased as-is, updated entitlements, and moved forward with our development plan.
Industrial Land — 5.8 acres
Acquired Q3 2025
Industrial-zoned land
6 acres of industrial-zoned land in the Charlotte metro. The partnership that owned it had been trying to sell for two years through a broker with no success. We closed in 45 days with no financing contingency.
Infill Commercial Land — 6 acres
Infill development site
6-acre infill parcel in South Carolina zoned for commercial use. We completed Phase I due diligence, confirmed no issues, and closed on schedule. The seller avoided months of re-listing uncertainty.
General Business Vacant Land — 10 Acres
Vacant commercial land
We purchased this 10 acre site that was listed with a broker. We completed a survey and our entitlement work and we closed on time and as promised

Greenville Market
Greenville Commercial Land Market
Greenville’s industrial land market is one of the Southeast’s strongest performers. Industrial land averages $289,474 per acre (average listing $1.1M), with commercial acreage averaging $81,249 per acre. Q2 2024 saw 1.4 million SF of new industrial leases, with direct asking rents at $5.94/SF. The I-85 corridor is a primary hotspot, with automotive parts manufacturing, distribution, and emerging IOS development driving growth.
The I-85 corridor between Charlotte and Atlanta has become a dominant logistics hub. IOS demand in Greenville is strong, with companies seeking secure outdoor storage for parts, equipment, and finished goods. The Greenville-Spartanburg auto parts cluster requires substantial staging and parking infrastructure.
Greenville’s industrial zoning supports manufacturing, distribution, and outdoor storage uses along the I-85 corridor. Rezoning opportunities exist for strategically located parcels outside current industrial districts.
I-85 provides critical north-south connectivity to Charlotte and Atlanta. Interstate 385 improvements and local utility infrastructure continue to support industrial growth. The region benefits from proximity to the Upstate’s major metro centers.

Demand is driven by population growth, infrastructure investment, and expanding commercial development. Construction costs surging 40-60% since 2019 have made entitled land increasingly valuable as developers seek shovel-ready sites.
Key Submarkets
1
North Greenville / Greer
Downtown Greenville’s nationally recognized Main Street corridor has driven extraordinary land value appreciation over the past decade. Commercial parcels within walking distance of Falls Park and the West End are among the most valuable in South Carolina. The limited remaining developable sites in the urban core make any available parcel highly competitive.
2
Downtown Greenville / Woodruff Road
The I-85 and Pelham Road interchange area is Greenville’s strongest retail and mixed-use corridor. Land along Pelham, Haywood, and Woodruff Road benefits from the highest traffic counts in the Upstate. National retailers, restaurant groups, and medical users compete aggressively for pad sites in this high-visibility, high-income submarket.
3
I-85 Industrial Corridor / Mauldin
The southern suburbs of Mauldin and Simpsonville are absorbing significant residential and commercial growth along the I-385 corridor. Commercial land values are rising as developers follow population expansion south. Grocery-anchored retail parcels, medical parcels, and flex-industrial land near the Golden Strip are in consistent demand.
4
Easley / Powdersville
The GSP airport area and Greer corridor benefit from BMW’s manufacturing presence and the broader automotive supply chain. Industrial and logistics-zoned land along I-85 between Greenville and Spartanburg is in high demand. The Inland Port and intermodal facilities have made this corridor a regional distribution hub, driving industrial land values up significantly.
5
Simpsonville / Fountain Inn
Travelers Rest and the northern Greenville corridor are experiencing rapid growth driven by lifestyle appeal and proximity to downtown. Commercial land along US-25 (White Horse Road) and Poinsett Highway benefits from outdoor recreation tourism and growing residential density. Available commercial sites are limited as the area transitions from rural to suburban.
Market Timing
When to Sell Commercial Land in Greenville
Several market dynamics make this an optimal window for Greenville commercial land owners considering a sale.
Compressed Cap Rates
Institutional capital from REITs, pension funds, and large operators has driven down cap rates in the Upstate. For small and mid-sized owners, listing on the open market means competing against institutional-grade assets and waiting months. A direct sale to Roth Capital bypasses the institutional bidding process entirely.
Construction Pipeline Pressure
A significant pipeline of new industrial and warehouse space is underway across the Upstate. For owners of Class B or secondary properties, this creates urgency — more new supply means your existing asset must compete harder. Positioning your property now, before more new inventory delivers, can mean a stronger valuation.
Tech Tenant Volatility
Many tech tenants signed long-term leases during the pandemic boom. As those leases mature in 2025-2027, some tenants are consolidating, relocating, or negotiating harder. If you have tech-sector tenants approaching rollover, a direct buyer can better manage the risk of lease expiration and tenant turnover.
Replacement Cost Thesis
Rising interest rates have made new construction significantly more expensive. Land and construction costs in Greenville continue to climb. For owners of well-maintained properties, this creates a favorable backdrop — your asset may trade at or near what it would cost to rebuild. That window narrows as more supply eventually delivers.
Strong Absorption Metrics
Greenville’s retail vacancy sits at 3.3% — a historical low. Industrial absorption remains strong as small-bay availability tightens below 5%, driving rent growth. These fundamentals signal that well-located assets are commanding top-of-market rents and leasing quickly. Sellers who move now benefit from this cycle’s strength.
Why Direct Sale Wins in Greenville
Broker-listed deals in Greenville can linger 6-12 months while competing against newly constructed Class A assets and institutional-grade buildings. A direct sale to Roth Capital removes that friction. We make a firm offer based on our understanding of your market. We close in weeks, not months. No commissions.

Life Changes
Selling Because Something Changed? You’re Not Alone.
Most owners don’t sell because they want to. They sell because the property or the situation around it changed. If any of the scenarios below sound familiar, a direct, as-is sale may be the fastest path to certainty.
Get a confidential offer
Or call/text 704-600-3839
Common scenario
Tired of Managing It
Commercial properties can drift when management, maintenance, or collections slip–even if the location is solid. If you’re dealing with constant tenant issues, selling can be the reset.
Common scenario
Tenant Leaving or Lease Rollover
With pandemic-era tech leases maturing across the Upstate in 2025-2027, rollover risk is real. Selling while income is still in place commands stronger pricing than carrying vacancy through a re-leasing cycle — especially if tenant improvements are needed.
Common scenario
Vacancy or Deferred Maintenance
Greenville’s expanding manufacturing and logistics pipeline means tenants have options. If your building needs repairs, capex, or a lease-up plan to compete, that investment may not pencil. We buy as-is–vacant, partially occupied, or with deferred maintenance–so you can exit without funding improvements.
Common scenario
1031 Exchange Timing
When you’re up against exchange deadlines, certainty matters more than “testing the market.” We can move quickly and coordinate with your qualified intermediary to keep timing tight (confirm with your tax advisor).
Common scenario
Partnership Disagreement
When partners disagree on hold vs. sell, reinvest vs. cash out, the property stalls. In a market moving as fast as Greenville, indecision costs money. A direct sale converts an illiquid asset into clear proceeds and lets everyone move forward.
Common scenario
Estate or Inherited Land
Inherited properties often come with unclear records, deferred maintenance, or multiple decision makers who may not be local to Greenville. We keep the process simple and coordinate with attorneys and executors for a clean closing.
Common scenario
Quiet, Off-Market Exit
In a market like Greenville where competitors, tenants, and employees monitor listings closely, some owners value privacy. If you want a discreet sale with clear terms and no public listing, a direct acquisition is the simplest path.
Common scenario
Loan Maturity or Refinance Pressure
If your note is coming due, today’s rate environment can change the refinance math quickly–DSCR, reserves, lender requirements. Selling before a maturity deadline protects value and avoids last-minute concessions to lenders.

Contractor Yards & IOS

We buy IOS properties with or without buildings, paved or unpaved, improved or raw.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Commercial or Industrial Land in Greenville
How much is my commercial land in Greenville worth?
Valuation depends on several factors including location, size, condition, lease terms, and current market cap rates. In the Greenville commercial land market, we can provide a confidential valuation within 48 hours of reviewing your property details — no obligation, no listing agreement required.
Do you buy vacant commercial land parcels in Greenville?
Yes. We regularly acquire vacant commercial land parcels and commercial land in Greenville and the Upstate. Vacancy is not a dealbreaker for us — we have the capital and relationships to reposition and stabilize vacant properties. If your commercial land is sitting empty, we can make a cash offer based on the property’s repositioning potential.
Can I sell my commercial land as-is in Greenville?
Absolutely. We purchase commercial land as-is — deferred maintenance, needed capital improvements, or operational issues are all things we underwrite and handle. You do not need to make repairs or improvements before selling. We have acquired properties with significant deferred maintenance across the Upstate and handle all repositioning post-closing.
How fast can you close on a commercial land in Greenville?
We typically close in 30-60 days from signed LOI. Because we are a direct buyer with capital in-house, there is no waiting for bank underwriting, investor approval, or SBA loan committees. If you need a faster or slower timeline, we can accommodate that too — we have closed in as few as 21 days when the situation required it.
Do you buy industrial land in Greenville?
Yes. We acquire industrial-zoned parcels, commercial pad sites, entitled development land, and raw commercial land across Greenville and the Upstate. Whether your land is entitled, zoned, or has development potential, we can evaluate and make an offer.
What types of commercial land do you buy in Greenville?
We acquire industrial land, commercial pad sites, development sites, and entitled parcels in the $500K-$5M range. We are value-add focused, meaning we typically look for properties with operational upside or minor repositioning opportunities. We can close on stabilized assets too, but our sweet spot is identifying and improving undermanaged properties.
Can I do a 1031 exchange when selling my commercial land in Greenville?
Yes. We routinely work with sellers who are executing 1031 exchanges and coordinate with qualified intermediaries to meet exchange deadlines. Our ability to close quickly and on a defined timeline makes us an ideal counterparty for 1031 transactions. Consult your tax advisor for specific guidance on your situation.
