About Mike White

I\'m Mike White, the Broker/Owner of Charleston Industrial, and exclusive leasing agent for Crosspoint at Palmetto Commerce Park, the premier location for the supply chains of Boeing and Mercedes-Benz Vans. With 30+ years of industry and entrepreneurial experience, I \"think like an owner\" for companies seeking space that leverages my deep network of contacts, strong negotiation skills, and knowledge of available properties.As a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, I served as an Army Intelligence officer for ten years, bringing leadership experience to all my client interactions.\':An aerospace supplier from outside the U.S. needed a local manufacturing location to meet their primary customer\'s preferences, requiring a site within six months. Charleston Industrial quickly identified suitable facilities that met their needs, organized tours, and provided essential business terms to facilitate an informed decision. After the client chose a facility, we negotiated with the landlord to secure a lease, all of which we completed in under five months. Most importantly, they met their customers\' requirements, which resulted in their certification as a manufacturing facility. It was a BIG win for them.Connect with me here on LinkedIn or email me to schedule a time to chat: & :To support my clients with the best possible expertise, I have earned the prestigious SIOR and CCIM designations. I have also earned the designation of Fellow in Industrial Real Estate, awarded by the Industrial Asset Managers Council (IAMC), and my educational accomplishments place me within the top 1% of all licensed real estate professionals nationwide. Charleston Industrial has won prestigious awards, including \"National Industrial Broker of the Year\" from the IAMC (Industrial Asset Managers Council) and \"Service Provider of the Year\" by Site Selection Magazine.
