ICYMI: We shared that real estate firm Lowe recently signified the completion of vertical construction of The Cooper, a new full-service waterfront hotel set to be located adjacent to Joe Riley Waterfront Park at 176 Concord St.

The development “draws its design inspiration from its French Quarter surroundings” + plans to offer 12,000 sqft of ground-floor retail space, nearly 20,000 sqft of indoor-outdoor event space, and food and bev offerings including a waterfront cafe and a rooftop lounge.

Here’s what the development may look like. Heads up: Lowe is said to be working with the City of Charleston to extend Waterfront Park by 400+ feet.
