NorthMark Strategies, an investment firm with a multi-strategy focus, has chosen Spartanburg County, South Carolina, as the location for its first operation in the state. The firm announced its decision recently and committed to an investment of $2.8 billion. This project is anticipated to create a minimum of 27 new jobs and will employ regional businesses and suppliers for maintenance and operations support.
This facility will be NorthMark’s fifth operation in the United States and will be located at 4000 South Pine Street, Spartanburg. It will serve as a high-performance computing center aimed at supporting a portfolio of businesses in the engineering and technology sectors. Designed for sustainability, the facility will generate its own power, minimizing grid impact.
The Spartanburg operation is expected to begin initial operations in the third quarter of 2026. Interested candidates can explore career opportunities on NorthMark’s careers page.
