In February, leaders broke ground on Charleston’s largest mixed-use project — Magnolia Landing, a 192-acre waterfront neighborhood that will be built in several phases beginning with roadwork. Full build-out is anticipated by 2040.
We caught up with Highland Resources CEO Clark Davis, who shared what he’s looking forward to most with this project.
The Magnolia Landing development will span 192 acres.

What does adding housing, retail, offices, and waterfront access do for this area of the peninsula?
The Neck will be the connection point for Charleston. We’re creating a neighborhood where people can live, work, meet friends for dinner, and walk by the water. Magnolia Landing will be restoring over a mile of the Ashley River shoreline for use by future generations. That’s a big deal, not just for this corner of the city, but for the way people experience Charleston.
With future connections to the Lowline and Lowcountry Rapid Transit, it’ll be easier than ever to access the waterfront for all of Charleston.

Making room for more students. Charleston County School officials are looking to buy 11.5 acres for a new elementary school in the Long Savannah development, which is bringing 4,500 new homes to the area. The new school would serve 1,200 students and take some pressure off nearby schools nearing capacity. (The Post and Courier)

What’s not to love about the Holy City? | Photo by @kdimeg_photo
For the fourth consecutive year (and 14th time in the last 15 years), Charleston has been named the No. 1 small city in the US byCondé Nast Traveler readers.
The global media company — known for its iconic magazines — bragged on our city, saying that although Charleston is considered small, it punches well above its weight. Highlighting the rich history, culture, food, and welcoming vibe.
The accolades don’t stop there; Hilton Head Island and Kiawah Island were voted the top islands in the US. Three Lowcountry resorts topped the list for best resorts in the South. Fun fact: The Sanctuary at Kiwash Island landed in the rankings for best resorts in the world.
