The new standard for collection is all industrial buildings 10,000 square feet or larger that can be readily adapted to an alternative industrial use. All properties were placed into a revised set of markets and submarkets and divided into three categories. Warehouse/Distribution, a facility primarily used for the storage or distribution or both of materials, goods and merchandise. Manufacturing, a facility used for the conversion, fabrication or assembly of raw or partly wrought materials into products or goods. Flex/R&D, a building designed to be used in a variety of ways with at least 30% of the rentable building area used as office. It is usually located in an industrial park setting. Specialized flex buildings can include service centers, showrooms, offices, warehouses and more. Due to the adjustments of the building inventory, comparison of data included in previously published market reports should be avoided. 4 South Carolina Research & Forecast Report Q Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson Industrial Colliers International
