krazeeboi 121 Report post Posted December 7, 2013 Due to the sheer size and scope of this project, I believe it deserves its own thread. The project, part of a long-term redevelopment of 12 acres, includes apartments, office and retail space on 2.8 acres at the corner of Meeting and Columbus streets. Development will happen in 6 phases with buildings inside the area boxed in by St. Phillips, Spring, Meeting and Line Streets. Earlier this week, BAR decided a few changes will need to be made before the project can go any further. Evening Post Industries, which is spearheading the project, is still hoping to start construction on phase one in the fall of 2014. Here are a few proposed renderings: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZUMAN 11 Report post Posted January 16, 2014 Courier Square will be a test case for a new "100/30 Urban Street" height district. It allows for taller buildings in exchange for wider sidewalks lined with retail. The proposal still has to go before City Council for final approval. http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20140115/PC05/140119584/1010/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZUMAN2 7 Report post Posted March 20 Courier Square is ready to start leasing residential units (a/k/a The Guild) with Greystar moving its HQ staff into the building this summer. Will be interesting to see who leases the retail and restaurant space. https://www.postandcourier.com/business/new-mid-rise-charleston-apartment-building-opens-in-first-courier/article_989cd486-2bb4-11e8-a9af-0b90aa7318cf.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
