Columbia is the capital of South Carolina and the state's second-largest metro, with a CRE economy anchored by state government, the University of South Carolina (more than 35,000 students), Fort Jackson (the largest U.S. Army basic training installation), and a deep insurance and healthcare base. Major employers include BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina, Prisma Health, Lexington Medical Center, AT&T, and Nephron Pharmaceuticals. Industrial absorption along I-20, I-26, and I-77 is supported by the metro's central location in the Carolinas and proximity to the Port of Charleston. Multifamily and student housing fundamentals benefit from steady population growth and one of the strongest higher-education footprints in the Southeast.
