Multiple Multifamily Units in Point Hope Advance in Charleston’s TRC

In the latest developments headed towards the City of Charleston committees and boards, several multifamily units are making progress. Most
noteworthy amongst these developments is the massive multifamily unit project planned for Point Hope, which has moved forward through the Technical Review Committee (TRC).

Proposed Developments

Notable among the items to be presented are several significant developments for the community. The first of these is a mixed-use building at 211 Seven Farms Drive, a 3-story, 5,630 sq. ft property featuring retail/commercial spaces on the first floor with residential units on the second and third floor. The site plan is proposed by SLS Development, LLC.

Adding further diverse use to the local real estate scene, there’s a proposal for the expansion and improvement of Mankiewicz Coatings. Currently possessing a pond onsite, the existing establishment at 1024 Clements Crest Lane will be expanded with a significant upgrade of facilities through this project by Mankiewicz Coatings, LLC.

Lifestyle Communities and Alliance Apartments at Point Hope

Lifestyle Communities is planning a significant mixed-use site at Point Hope. It includes the creation of a private road, parking and utilities over a sprawling 27.9-acre area with 449 units at 1260 Clements Ferry Rd. The master plan provided by Thomas & Hutton Engineering indicates an ambitious development catering to diverse residential and commercial needs.

Furthermore, the first phase of the Alliance Apartments will set the ground for additional infrastructure in the area. The proposed project involves the construction of 336 multifamily units, supplemented with various supportive amenities, on a 23.9-acre land parcel at 1730 Clements Ferry Road. The development is being planned by Seven Sticks LLC, under the expertise of Seamon, Whiteside & Associates, Inc.

Board of Zoning Appeals

Additionally, the Board of Zoning Appeals is set to look into a case involving a variance request for tree removals at Frontage Road at Forrest Drive, located on the Cainhoy Peninsula, by SCT Properties, LLC & TS DI, LLC. The request includes a variance and a special exception for the removal of several grand trees, alongside a variance to reduce the impervious setback in the vicinity of these trees.

Prior Developments

Prior to these proposed developments, the TRC reviewed the Jack Primus Industrial (previously known as Gildan Industrial). The projected industrial building would host an extensive 310,000 sq. ft facility with necessary infrastructure and stormwater detention facilities on an expansive 19.79-acre plot at 1075 Jack Primus Rd. Despite the impressive proposal submitted by SRE EV Jack Primus LLC, the committee asked for further revisions before granting approval.

In conclusion, it’s a busy time for Charleston’s real estate and infrastructure development, especially for the area encompassing Daniel Island and the Cainhoy Peninsula. With city officials keen on transformations, Charleston’s growth momentum continues to surge forward.
