Magnolia.

[Infoman]

This thread is dedicated to Charleston, SC and it's surronding cities. Ill start off.
http://www.realtown.com/CharlestonSC/blog/charleston-sc-real-estate/magnolia-development-charleston-sc, This is a development named Magnolia. I do not know if it's still on or not but it look's nice. It will include 700,000 sq ft of retail, 500 hotel room's, 450,000 sq ft of office, and 6,000 residental unit's. Also you can click here to look at Magnolia, and Midtown which are Charleston's two big projects, and let me tell you Midtown has good density. Let's please try to stay on development's on this thread.

The Magnolia project sounds really attractive.

I hope some more urban refill occurs in the area around the crosstown, too.

There will be a new bridge included which really caught my attetion.

Newbie here, I live up in Rock Hill, SC, but have family in Mt Pleasant, just across the harbor/Cooper River from Charleston and I visit it often. Here are some of the projects going on in the Holy City and surrounding area...

This is development has had some financial issues, and issues w/ the city of N Charleston, but they are still pladding along w/ it.

Here's a link to the full conceptual plan w/a lot of specific details for Magnolia. I can't copy the pics off it, b/c it's a PDF File. If I can eventually move down to Charleston, like I hope to, I'd love to live in this area once it's completed.

Another new development that has been recently announced is the Ginn Group's Promenade. It is located along Town Creek, just north of the Ravenel Bridge over an old dump site.

This is in the beginning planning stages. In fact, I think they have said that the proposed amphitheater will be on the bridge side now. I think that will actually be cooler b/c if you go to a concert, and have the bridge behind the stage, that will look cool. There is too much surface parking in this rendering for my like, so hopefully they will change that, and put in a parking deck, and either add more density, or add more park space.

Here are some more smaller developments throughout the Charleston area:

Thanks for the welcome. I'm a big fan of Charleston. I hope to move there someday, b/c I like it even better than Charlotte, though CLT is exploding w/ growth. I'd be happy in either place, but I really like the ocean.

I like Charlotte and Charleston but Charleston is more special to me than Charlotte.
