CROSSRIDGE CENTER MAKES BOLD DECISION TO BUILD SPECULATIVE CLASS-A OFFICE IN INDIAN LAND, SC2/24/2020
(Indian Land, SC – May 31, 2019) In a rare move, CrossRidge Center today announced plans to develop Class-A spec office space just across the NC border in Indian Land, SC. The announcement was made by Ben Cerullo, COO of CrossRidge Development, during the joint groundbreaking of the Upper Palmetto YMCA and CrossRidge Center.
“We know this is a unique initiative in the world of development,” said Cerullo. “But this decision demonstrates our confidence in the region’s continued growth and CrossRidge’s ability to position itself to attract regional/national companies looking for the type of aesthetics and amenities we offer. And the parcel we’ve selected for this build is one of the premier sites on campus, with the best road access, ample parking, breathtaking views, and proximity to the CrossRidge Conference and Event Center.” Bryan Tuttle, consultant for the project, couldn’t agree more. “This initiative by CrossRidge Development makes a bold statement to the regional office market, that they are ready, willing and able to step up to the unprecedented demand in the South Charlotte market for new Class-A office space. The biggest problem in recent times is not the demand for space, but the sheer availability of space. This especially is true in the Upstate of South Carolina and Lancaster County, in particular, where the business environment and quality of life is so attractive. CrossRidge wanted to respond in advance to this growing market demand in the Highway 521 business corridor just South of Ballantyne, especially as the YMCA moves toward completion and prospective tenants look to call CrossRidge home.” CrossRidge Center currently boasts one of the most significant office buildings in all of Lancaster and York counties. The 120,000 sq. ft. anchor tenant is central to the development. Visitors are welcomed by a beautiful monumented entry drive and flag court, surrounded by a scenic lake, fountains, bridges, sidewalks, and landscaping unrivaled in the region. Interviews with architects and engineers are being finalized now. CrossRidge Center anticipates breaking ground on the project in late 2019, with a Fall 2020 grand opening.
