Market Intelligence

Summerville Commercial Real Estate Market

Summerville's commercial real estate market is driven by what may be the fastest residential growth in the Charleston metro. The Nexton master-planned community alone is adding thousands of homes, and surrounding developments along US-17A, Berlin G. Myers Parkway, and the Jedburg Road corridor are expanding the city's footprint rapidly. Each new rooftop generates downstream demand for grocery, dining, medical, banking, and personal services — creating a commercial vacuum that investors and developers are racing to fill.

Boeing's North Charleston plant is a 15-minute drive from Summerville, and many Boeing employees choose Summerville for its affordability and schools, directly supporting the local commercial ecosystem. Summerville Medical Center (part of the Medical University of South Carolina system) anchors healthcare demand with an expanding campus on Midland Parkway. Industrial demand along US-17A and the Jedburg Road corridor serves both Charleston-area logistics tenants and manufacturing operations attracted by lower occupancy costs than North Charleston while maintaining port connectivity.

Summerville's cap rates position between Charleston peninsula pricing and more rural Dorchester County rates, offering investors Charleston metro growth exposure at 50 to 150 basis points above comparable Charleston-area assets. The buyer pool includes Charleston-based investors who understand the growth dynamics, regional operators expanding into the metro's fastest-growing submarket, and national investors attracted by the population growth metrics. For sellers, Summerville properties with proximity to Nexton, highway frontage, or medical campus adjacency attract the most aggressive offers.

What's Selling

Top Property Types in Summerville

01

Retail & Restaurant

Summerville's explosive population growth creates retail demand that outpaces supply — a dynamic that directly benefits sellers of existing retail properties. US-17A, Berlin G. Myers Parkway, and the Nexton commercial areas concentrate retail serving both established neighborhoods and the thousands of new households arriving annually. Grocery-anchored centers, quick-service restaurants, and neighborhood service retailers see strong occupancy and rising rents. The Nexton commercial district is attracting regional and national retail tenants seeking exposure to one of the fastest-growing communities in the Southeast.

02

Medical & Service

Summerville Medical Center's expanding campus and the Midland Parkway medical corridor serve a rapidly growing population whose healthcare needs are compounding annually. Primary care, pediatrics, urgent care, and specialty clinics compete for space near the hospital. MUSC Health's acquisition of the hospital signals long-term investment that will expand the medical campus and generate additional demand for nearby properties. The growing retiree population in Summerville's 55+ communities adds healthcare utilization beyond working-age demographics.

03

Office & Flex

The Jedburg Road and US-17A industrial corridors serve distribution, construction supply, and manufacturing tenants connecting to the Charleston port and the broader tri-county economy. Summerville's lower industrial rents compared to North Charleston attract tenants who need port connectivity without paying premium North Charleston pricing. Properties with dock loading, adequate truck court, and proximity to I-26 access trade most competitively. The industrial market benefits from the same population growth driving retail — more residents means more goods flowing through local distribution networks.
