State Credit Union
Columbia, South Carolina
Operations Center & Headquarters Renovations
South Carolina State Credit Union retained LCK to serve as its project manager in the renovation and expansion of its corporate headquarters located on Huger Street in Columbia, SC. The goal was to not only upgrade the appearance of the original building, but also to consolidate operations from two other locations into a single facility.
The leadership of the Credit Union and its Board of Directors depended heavily on LCK to lead the organization through this generational project. The expansion and renovation of approximately 55,000 square feet included replacement of the stucco exterior of the existing facility and re-skinning it with brick to match the new addition, resulting in a total project investment of $26.5 million. The project was initiated in the first quarter of 2021 and is essentially complete as of the third quarter of 2023.

Campus Relocation

After identifying all market options to house pre-determined consolidated functions, the Colonial Life campus prevailed as the most economical solution. Real estate occupancy cost savings alone were projected to be $1.8 million over a ten-year lease term. This did not take into consideration the valuable operating cost savings to be realized through consolidation of like functions, resulting in employee efficiency. These projected savings would allow Prisma Health’s precious capital to be deployed elsewhere on revenue-generating space.

Wells Fargo Center
Greenville, South Carolina
Common Area Renovations
Learn more
When the Wells Fargo Center was acquired by a new investor in 2016, LCK played a key role in analyzing property assessment reports as well as leases and construction documents associated with leasehold and capital improvement obligations the buyer would assume from the seller at closing. We advised the buyer of risks and financial impacts of capital improvement projects which would be in progress through the closing date. Upon closing, our project management team went to work to complete all pending work and also to execute leasehold improvements for new leases. Our team later coordinated the renovation of the main lobby and continues to manage all tenant improvement projects. Assignments have been accomplished through intense collaboration and information sharing among the brokerage and ownership teams.
