Industrial developer Xebec Realty is listed on a city planning form as the company seeking to build the warehouse, which would be located on what is now an empty lot just north of a 468-unit residential complex now under construction.

Scott DiCesare, a Xebec Realty development manager whose name appears on the form, did not respond to multiple calls and emails from The Times asking about the project.

A woman who answered the phone at Xebec’s office said DiCesare had no comment.

In Charleston, S.C., where the ports have been expanding to accommodate larger ships sailing through the newly widened Panama Canal, a real-estate developer named Xebec Realty recently went looking for land to build new warehouses and logistics centers.

So Xebec turned to a Silicon Valley start-up called Jupiter, which offered to analyze local weather and hydrological data and combine it with climate model projections to assess the potential climate risks Xebec might face in Charleston over the next few decades from things like heavier rainfall, sea level rise or increased storm surge.
