As ARCO Design/Build establishes its presence Greenville, SC, two seasoned leaders are at the forefront: Sam Oates, Division Manager, and Roberto Haley, Director of Business Development. With their extensive experience and dedication to the region, Sam and Roberto are set to drive ARCO’s growth in the thriving Greenville-Spartanburg market, a key industrial hub in the Southeast. 

ARCO’s Expertise Meets Greenville’s Industrial Boom 

Greenville’s booming industrial sector is a perfect match for ARCO’s design-build expertise in high-performance facilities. As the #1 domestic builder of distribution centers and warehouses in the U.S., ARCO brings a proven approach to key industries in Upstate South Carolina: 

  • Advanced manufacturing facilities 
  • Cold storage construction 
  • Distribution centers and warehouse development 
  • Self-storage developments 
  • Multi-family housing projects 

“Greenville, as part of the larger Greenville-Spartanburg market, offers incredible opportunities due to its robust industrial landscape and rapid growth,” says Sam. “This move aligns with our goal of diversifying our market presence and capitalizing on the area’s dynamic industrial strength and diverse range of clients.” 

Roberto adds, “The Greenville-Spartanburg region has emerged as a key industrial hub in the Southeast. Our presence here enables us to better serve clients along the I-85 corridor, offering convenient access to major transportation routes and proximity to the Charleston Port and South Carolina Inland Port.” 

A Strategic Move Along the I-85 Corridor 

Opening an office in Greenville is a pivotal step in ARCO’s growth strategy, creating a seamless connection between the Atlanta and Charlotte offices. This strategic placement strengthens ARCO’s regional reach, tapping into Greenville’s expanding industrial market, including: 

  • Automotive manufacturing 
  • Aerospace industry 
  • Advanced materials production 
  • Food and beverage processing 

“The Greenville office completes our presence along the I-85 corridor,” Sam notes. “Its location enhances our ability to serve a wide range of clients in the Southeast, from local businesses to major corporations expanding their operations in the region.”

Building Relationships & Expanding ARCO’s Presence 

Sam and Roberto are dedicated to establishing a strong ARCO presence in Greenville, focusing on relationships as the cornerstone of their growth strategy. Their approach aims to position ARCO as the premier design-build contractor for industrial construction in the Upstate region. 

“Our initial focus is on building a robust network and creating meaningful relationships with local businesses, developers, and community leaders,” explains Roberto. “We’re committed to becoming a trusted partner for industrial construction projects, from advanced manufacturing facilities to cold storage solutions and distribution centers.” 

Sam adds, “We’re not just building structures; we’re building the ARCO brand in the Upstate market. Our goal is to educate the community about our unique design-build approach and how it can benefit local industries.” 

ARCO’s Design-Build Advantage 

ARCO’s unique design-build approach offers a distinct edge in design and construction, providing clients with a streamlined and cohesive process. By integrating design and construction from the outset, ARCO delivers a range of critical benefits: 

  • Early Cost Certainty: Our design-build process enables us to provide clear, reliable pricing early on, minimizing financial surprises and ensuring long-term cost efficiency. 
  • Enhanced Risk Management: By addressing potential issues at the start, we control project risks, reducing costly delays and change orders. 
  • Accelerated Project Timelines: Seamless coordination between our design and construction teams allows us to complete projects faster, enabling clients to realize their goals sooner. 
  • Transparent Communication and Collaboration: With all stakeholders engaged from day one, ARCO provides clients with a clear vision and an efficient, integrated experience. 

“We’re excited to introduce our design-build expertise to the Greenville market,” Sam adds. “This approach has proven highly successful in our other locations, and we’re confident it will deliver exceptional value to our upstate clients.” 

Creating a Culture of Integrity & Growth 

Both leaders emphasize the importance of fostering a positive work environment that reflects ARCO’s values. “We’re building a team that will not only excel in their professional roles but also contribute to the local community,” says Sam. “Our goal is to create leaders who will drive innovation in industrial construction across Upstate South Carolina.”
