Tracking the rate of development on the Peninsula of Charleston is a difficult task. The design and approval processes for the large-scale developments we see throughout the city can take years, and sometimes decades. In order to help our constituents visualize the scale of development on the peninsula, we've created the GIS map below to pinpoint projects with buildings 6-stories and up that have started the design and build process since 2017.
The map below gives you information about the height, intended use, number of rooms or units, and photos or renderings of each development. It also provides context on what the status for each project is, whether it is being reviewed, already approved, or under construction. We hope this serves as a continually updating resource for citizens to track the ever-changing landscape of our historic city, and can be used as a tool to help shape a more resilient and architecturally compatible future for Charleston.
Historic Charleston Foundation actively monitors new development projects and speaks at BAR-Large and Small meetings on behalf of our mission to protect Charleston's historic envirionment.
