Taking a closer look at the Courier Square project

Courier Square is a mixed-use Planned Urban Development project that aims to provide new housing, retail, and office space to upper King Street.

A lively city street scene shows elegant multi-story buildings with arched windows, rooftop terraces, and bustling sidewalks filled with pedestrians. Cars line the road, while trees and greenery soften the urban architecture.

The project is planned for nearly 4 acres between Columbus, Line, and King Streets.

Over the summer, the Board of Architectural Review – Large granted conceptual approval for Phase 3 of Courier Square.

So, what’s Courier Square? It’s a multi-phase mixed-use Planned Urban Development on 3.7 acres between Columbus, Line, and King Streets, set to add new buildings and public spaces to the area.

The project will include apartments, retail and restaurant spaces, office buildings, hospitality, and public gathering areas — all designed to blend with the Lowcountry Lowline park. The development would create an area that’s been dubbed the “midtown” district and aims to be a walkable area that combines historical architectural styles with modern design.
