COLUMBIA, SC – Wilson Kibler is proud to announce the successful leasing of a ±1,920-square-foot office suite at 2222 Devine Street, situated just outside the vibrant Five Points District. The space will serve as the new home for an established law firm. The deal was completed by Wylie Coker, Broker Associate, and Wayne Smith, Managing Director of Special Assets at Wilson Kibler.
This transaction holds special significance for Wilson Kibler, as 2222 Devine Street is more than just another office—it marks the company’s original headquarters. In 1987, founders Jeremy Wilson and Marshall Kibler launched the firm from a modest two-room suite within the very same building, accompanied by a single secretary. From those humble beginnings, Wilson Kibler has grown into one of the most respected and long-standing commercial real estate firms in the Midlands.
Today, Wilson Kibler continues to deliver commercial real estate expertise across the Carolinas, with a legacy rooted in integrity, growth, and local connection.

Tariffs are currently a focal point of national attention. In a recent SIOR webinar, economist Mark Dotzour highlighted that it’s not surprising that other countries are upset by the U.S. reciprocating tariffs. After all, many have benefited from unbalanced trade practices with the U.S. for over four decades. Dotzour also emphasized the importance of addressing the trade deficit. Failure to do so could lead to increased inflation, which typically favors real estate assets over others.
While uncertainty looms on a national level, the Southeast market remains resilient. Currently, we are maintaining a healthy 6.0% vacancy rate in the Columbia Market. Additionally, with Scout Motors’ suppliers beginning to explore available spaces, we anticipate upward pressure on rents as these spaces are leased over the next 5-6 months.
