Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This cleared development lot is available with no current leases or other obligations on the site. The parcel is zoned Mixed Use 1, Workforce Housing District, which is the City of Charleston’s densest zoning category currently offered, with development intensity primarily limited by building height rather than other use constraints. The bulk of the property on the E Bay St side is subject to a 5-story height limit, while the rear portion has a 2 1/2 to 3-story limit.

Located at the base of the Ravenel Bridge between Mount Pleasant and the Historic Charleston Business District approach, the property is adjacent to the new multifamily development at 655 Easy Bay. E Bay St is described as a main corridor to historic Downtown Charleston with reported 21,400 VPD.

The MU-1/WF district is incentive based and intended to encourage high-density residential development with affordable housing units and commercial uses. It permits the same commercial uses as the Limited Business district, with permitted commercial hours for most uses restricted to between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m.
