Downtown Charleston is one step closer to getting a new park. This week, the city’s Board of Architectural Review approved designs for American Gardens, a new ~1-acre space at 141 Meeting St. in downtown Charleston. The park will be located at the former site of Dominion Energy.
The Harleston Village space will serve as a connector between King and Meeting streets and is expected to feature plants like crepe myrtles and oak trees, a fountain, and a small stage area for shows and gatherings. It is also part of a larger project by local group Beemok Hospitality Collection that acquired the historic E.B. White Building on Meeting Street. That property will be sold to the Gibbes Museum of Art and restored.
American Gardens will be open to the public and is expected to debut in October 2025.
