Upstate SC

The Upstate is South Carolina's manufacturing engine, and its smaller towns are some of the best-kept yield plays in either Carolina.

01

Manufacturing muscle

BMW's largest plant in the world, which is also the largest automotive exporter by value in the U.S., Michelin's North American headquarters, and an inland port at Greer that connects it all to Charleston. This is a payroll-driven rental market with real staying power.

02

The corridor position

The Upstate sits on I-85 between Charlotte and Atlanta, and it captures growth from both directions: the Greenville metro crossed one million people in 2025, and Spartanburg's metro ranked third in the nation for growth last year.

03

The secondary towns pencil

Anderson, Laurens, and the smaller markets around Greenville trade at caps the metro core hasn't seen in years, with the same manufacturing payrolls driving tenant demand. For buyers who care about yield, this tier of the Upstate is where it lives.
