Huger Street to welcome new residents in 2027 in a new 77-unit community

Project leaders say their goal with the Huger Street project is to enhance Charleston’s architectural character while still addressing the need for housing.

The City of Charleston’s Board of Architectural Review approved Charleston Housing Authority’s plan to redevelop 275 Huger Street.

The project will replace a 12-unit structure with a new 77-unit community that aims to accommodate residents across a range of income levels. Take a closer look at what’s proposed (scroll to page 27).

The Huger Street complex is part of a larger plan for the housing authority — it’s planning to demolish and redevelop the lower-cost housing properties it owns.

Construction is set to start after the permitting stage — Ward Mungo, whose construction company is co-developing the site, told the Post and Courier, “Barring any surprises, we will be starting on the demolition of the existing units before Christmas.”

Mungo is working with Ray Nix Development and Davis Architecture to bring the plans to life. Units are slated to be ready by 2027.
