Sell Your Commercial Property in Rock Hill, SC

Rock Hill is South Carolina's fifth-largest city and the commercial hub of York County, positioned to capture Charlotte metro growth spillover while offering South Carolina's lower tax environment. Knowledge Park's technology focus, Winthrop University's 6,000+ students, and the city's aggressive downtown revitalization — anchored by the Fountain Park and the developing Riverwalk — create a commercial real estate market that is transitioning from value play to growth story. The I-77 corridor extension and toll lane completion have reduced Charlotte commute times, accelerating Rock Hill's integration into the Charlotte metro's commercial ecosystem.

Market Intelligence

Rock Hill Commercial Real Estate Market

Rock Hill's commercial real estate market is being fundamentally reshaped by Charlotte's southward growth and the I-77 corridor improvements that have reduced commute times to Uptown Charlotte. What was historically a standalone SC market is rapidly becoming a Charlotte metro submarket — a transition that benefits existing property owners as investor perception shifts and property values adjust upward. Knowledge Park, the city's downtown technology and innovation district, anchors professional and tech-oriented demand, while Winthrop University adds 6,000+ students and institutional spending.

The Dave Lyle Boulevard and Galleria Boulevard corridors anchor Rock Hill's retail market, serving not just York County residents but also attracting shoppers from northern SC who prefer Rock Hill's expanding retail options over crossing into Charlotte. Industrial demand along the I-77 and US-21 corridors benefits from both Charlotte-area logistics tenants seeking lower SC occupancy costs and manufacturing operations targeting Rock Hill's workforce. Piedmont Medical Center anchors healthcare demand with an expanding campus that generates medical office need throughout the Cherry Road and India Hook Road corridors.

Rock Hill's cap rates currently offer 100 to 200 basis points above Charlotte, but this spread is compressing as the market integrates into the Charlotte metro. For sellers, this compression represents a timing opportunity: properties sold during the transition period capture pricing that reflects Rock Hill's improving trajectory rather than its historical standalone valuation. Buyers include Charlotte-based investors seeking SC tax advantages, 1031 exchange buyers from pricier Charlotte submarkets, and regional operators expanding into a market with clear growth catalysts.

What's Selling

Top Property Types in Rock Hill

01

Retail & Restaurant

Rock Hill's retail market benefits from a dual catchment: York County residents and SC shoppers who cross into Rock Hill rather than paying Charlotte's higher sales tax. Galleria Boulevard, Dave Lyle Boulevard, and the Riverwalk development corridor concentrate retail demand serving a trade area that extends well beyond the city limits. National retailers continue expanding into Rock Hill as population grows, and the downtown revitalization is creating emerging demand for restaurant and experiential retail properties near Fountain Park.

02

Industrial & Flex

The I-77 and US-21 corridors through Rock Hill serve industrial tenants seeking Charlotte metro logistics connectivity with SC's lower operating costs — including taxes, workers' compensation, and energy rates. Distribution, light manufacturing, and automotive-adjacent operations (serving BMW's supply chain further south) are active tenant categories. Properties with modern clear heights, dock access, and interstate proximity trade most competitively. Rock Hill's industrial cap rates offer meaningful yield premiums over Charlotte while sharing the same regional logistics infrastructure.

03

Office & Mixed-Use

Piedmont Medical Center's expanding campus generates sustained medical office demand along Cherry Road, India Hook Road, and the Herlong Avenue medical corridor. York County's population growth — driven by Charlotte commuter migration — compounds healthcare utilization and supports both existing medical properties and new healthcare development. Multi-tenant medical buildings near the hospital campus attract both physician-investors and regional healthcare REITs. The growth of urgent care and specialty outpatient services creates additional demand throughout the Rock Hill market.
