What if The Powerhouse at the Navy Yard Charleston became the Lowcountry’s next concert hall, event space, or spot for film production? Well, that dream could become a reality. The Powerhouse, a history-rich space, was recently listed.

The 31,875-sqft building and its roughly two-acre plot sit in an opportunity zone on the corner of North Hobson and McMillian Avenues in the North Charleston redevelopment project, which aims to transform the historic naval shipyard into a vibrant live-work-play community.

Here’s the seller’s vision: Inspirational design plans for the Powerhouse feature spacious areas with truss ceilings. Mock-ups show the first level could include an artist space, production offices, and a bar area, while the second level offers VIP lounges and additional support spaces.

What else is in the neighborhood? Next to The Powerhouse are the Three Sisters buildings, which will house retail spaces, restaurants, and production studios.
