At the end of 2018, we shared 14 of the most anticipated developments that Charleston can expect to see this year.
We’re only two months into 2019, and already we have seen some of these major developments come to fruition– such as the opening of Hotel Bennett.
From the plethora of restaurants that have popped up around the Lowcountry– which can make sticking to those new year’s resolutions a little tricky– to the multiple fitness clubs– which can get you back on track– we want to make sure you’re in the loop of all that is new in the CHS.
