I think we can mark Greenville County as one of the beneficiaries of the changes sweeping across the country given the Covid-19 pandemic.
Greenville County saw a record capital investment commitment of $631 million in 2020 according to the Greenville Area Development Corporation (GADC). This blew away the previous record of $476 million in 2014. The investment is coming from a broad range of companies in various industries. The biggest investments are coming from manufacturing and distribution which remains huge here in the Upstate. But we are also seeing other investments starting to percolate from other industries such as information technology.
It’s becoming increasingly clear that Greenville, SC is going to be hitting a lot of peoples’ radars over the next decade. It certainly has come a long way but it’s time to shine is here.
I know people get tired of growth of Greenville, but you are either growing or dying. You can’t have it both ways. Greenville stands to benefit both in terms of manufacturing growth but also in the transition to work from home (WFH). The area is beautiful. The weather is better than much of the rest of the U.S. Cost of living is still relatively low and there are lots of amenities…shopping, the arts, sports etc. I think the schools are still seen as a bit of a weakness but they are working on that. There are plenty of private school options in the area as well. Living here so close to the mountains and just 3.5 hours drive to the beach…it’s just a great place to be…and many others are coming to find that as well.
If you’re thinking of moving here, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d be happy to talk. If you want to look for homes, please check out my site at GVLHomesandLand. — John Murphy, Broker Associate, eXp Realty 864-276-1448.

Fox Hill Business Park / Fox Carolina
The first major Class A business park development in 20 years was announced last month. The massive 172 acre development was announced by the Greenville Area Development Corporation. The development will be named Fox Hill Business Park. GADC chose New Jersey Developer, Sudler Companies to develop the property.
It’s a very impressive and ambitious plan with nearly 2.5 million square feet of development designed to meet the needs for manufacturing, distribution or warehouse. It demonstrates that there is strong belief that the growth we have seen in the Upstate of South Carolina will continue. Greenville Business Magazine’s story on the Fox Hill Business Park has a lot of excellent additional details about the development project.
Fountain Inn is within easy access to the Inland Port and GSP Airport as well as interstate 385 and 85. There is also lots of expected housing growth in the Fountain Inn area. Greenville County Schools is also building a brand new Fountain Inn High School. It’s set to open for the fall 2021 – if we ever go back to school again 🙂
NAI Earle Furman will be working with Sudler Companies to market the property.
