Brownfields Redevelopment Strategy in South Carolina
What is a Brownfield property?
South Carolina’s Brownfield and Voluntary Cleanup framework allows redevelopment of environmentally impacted properties while providing liability protection for new property owners when appropriate investigation and remediation are completed.
A Brownfield property is a site where redevelopment may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of environmental contamination. Through programs such as the South Carolina Voluntary Cleanup Program, many Brownfield sites can be investigated, remediated, and returned to productive use.
CRB helps Greenville developers structure these projects by:
Evaluating environmental exposure before acquisition
Conducting Phase II environmental investigations
Coordinating regulatory review
Designing cost-effective remediation strategies
Securing documentation supporting liability protection and site closure
Turn Challenged Properties
Into Viable Development Opportunities
Brownfield sites don’t have to stall your project. With the right environmental strategy, contaminated or underutilized properties can be repositioned for redevelopment with clear timelines, regulatory alignment, and liability protection.
Many brownfield properties involve historical contamination, groundwater impacts,
or unknown environmental conditions that can delay financing, approvals, and construction.
CRB helps developers, attorneys, and property owners navigate these complexities by identifying risks early, structuring a clear path forward, and executing remediation strategies that align with project timelines and regulatory requirements.

-
Yes. CRB provides Phase I ESA in Greenville SC as well as nationwide that meet ASTM 1527-21 requirements and are designed to support acquisitions, financing, and redevelopment decisions.
-
Most Phase I Environmental Site Assessments can be completed within two to three weeks depending on the size of the property and availability of historical records. CRB works with developers and lenders to align environmental due diligence timelines with transaction deadlines.
-
If environmental contamination is identified, additional investigation such as a Phase II ESA may be recommended to determine the extent of impacts and appropriate remediation strategies. Many redevelopment projects in Greenville move forward successfully once environmental risks are properly defined and managed.
-
A Phase II ESA is typically recommended when a Phase I identifies recognized environmental conditions (RECs) or when a lender, buyer, or counsel needs sampling data to confirm and quantify risk before closing.
-
South Carolina’s Brownfields/Voluntary Cleanup framework can provide a pathway to redevelopment with liability protection for existing contamination when assessment and remediation are completed under an approved process.
