Magnolia Landing

Charleston's new 192-acre waterfront district is beginning to take shape along 1.5 miles of the Ashley River — bringing residences, dining, shopping, offices, hospitality, parks and waterfront access together in one ambitious mixed-use community.

The Community

A new piece of Charleston taking shape.

Magnolia Landing is planned as a major new mixed-use waterfront district on Charleston's upper peninsula, spanning approximately 192 acres along the Ashley River.

Residences, restaurants, shops, offices, hotels, parks and waterfront gathering spaces are planned as pieces of one connected neighborhood.

The Point

Where the neighborhood meets the Ashley River.

One of Magnolia Landing's signature destinations is planned at the river's edge. Known as The Point, this waterfront area is envisioned with four intimate “jewel box” restaurants near residences, retail and offices.

Boaters will be able to arrive from the Ashley River while pedestrians approach along the planned 1.5-mile riverfront promenade.

A waterfront meant to be used. Docks, riverfront dining, public space and the promenade are designed to make the Ashley River part of everyday life.

More than a residential development.

Magnolia Landing is being planned as a complete neighborhood. Homes are only one part of a larger district that will bring residences, restaurants, shops, offices, hotels, parks and waterfront spaces together along the Ashley River.

01

Residential

Townhomes, single-family homes, multifamily residences and workforce housing are planned throughout the district.

02

Dining + Retail

Restaurants, cafés, shops and everyday destinations are planned throughout the walkable neighborhood.

03

Business

Office space will bring another layer of activity to the mixed-use waterfront district.

04

Hospitality

Hotel uses are planned as part of Magnolia Landing's long-term waterfront vision.

The Vision

Charleston character without trying to copy Charleston.

The development team has described Magnolia Landing's architectural direction as one that will reflect both the site's industrial past and Charleston's character without attempting to reproduce the historic city.

Buildings are planned at varying scales throughout the district, with zoning allowing structures generally ranging from approximately three to nine stories.

Residential

Thousands of residences are planned over time.

Magnolia Landing is zoned for up to approximately 4,000 residential units, although the developer has publicly stated that the goal is not simply to maximize density. Residential development is expected to unfold in phases.

01

Townhomes

Townhome residences are included within the planned residential mix.

02

Single-Family

Single-family homes are contemplated within portions of the master plan.

03

Multifamily

Multifamily residences will support the more urban, walkable areas of the development.

04

Workforce Housing

Affordable or workforce housing is planned as part of the residential mix.

Business + Office

A neighborhood designed for the workday, too.

With up to approximately one million square feet of planned office space, Magnolia Landing is intended to function as much more than a place people return to at the end of the day.

Offices will sit within the broader mix of residences, restaurants, shops, hospitality and waterfront spaces.

Dining + Hospitality

The social side of the waterfront.

Restaurants and gathering places are an important part of the Magnolia Landing vision, particularly around The Point. Actual restaurant and bar interiors have not yet been released, so the imagery below is shown strictly for lifestyle and design inspiration.

Master Plan

192 acres planned as one connected district.

Magnolia Landing is expected to develop in phases over many years. Residential areas, commercial districts, public parks, streets and waterfront connections are intended to work together.

Magnolia Landing Charleston master plan map

The development is planned around a mix of residential, commercial, hospitality, park and waterfront uses.

Because Magnolia Landing will develop over multiple phases, future surroundings should be considered when evaluating any eventual residential opportunity.

The Location

Charleston waterfront with direct city access.

Magnolia Landing sits on Charleston's waterfront peninsula with direct access to I-26 and King Street.

The location places the community close to Downtown Charleston while creating a new destination along the Ashley River.

Should I involve my own agent before contacting a future builder or sales office?
If you want independent buyer representation, establishing that relationship before registering directly with a builder or sales office is generally the safest approach. Registration and representation policies can vary, so buyers should understand those requirements before their first visit or registration.

Development plans, residential counts, commercial uses, amenities, builders and completion timelines can change without notice. Verify all material information directly with the applicable developer, builder, municipality or other source.
