This week, developers announced plans for a new apartment community in downtown Charleston. Called LC Line Street, the apartments will be located on upper Meeting Street, at Sheppard and (you guessed it) Line streets. That’s right by the on-ramp to I-26 – and will back up onto the future Lowcountry LowLine.
In addition to 293 apartment units, the first phase of the project will include 22,000 sqft of multi-use, community space. Amongst those additions:
○ The Goat – a restaurant with a ‘community-inspired’ menu that will be open to the public
○ A gym called CODE
○ A coffee shop open both A.M. + P.M.
○ A pool
The first phase of the development is budgeted at $120 million and will include 293 apartment units and 22,000 sqft of community space.
Developers (Ohio-based Lifestyle Communities) want to the complex to complement the upper peninsula’s architectural character + cultural feel. To help accomplish that goal, they’ve teamed up with local artists Dos Banditos to design + build an artistic fence wrap around the site that will evolve over the course of the development’s construction, highlighting both the original use of the land + current structures as well as the way the future community will build on that history.
Crews will break ground in spring of this year, with the hopes to have it complete by late 2022.
