Set within a growing master-planned district north of Charleston, this community is emerging as a complete and connected place–where homes, schools, offices, a hotel, and retail life unfold together. Spanning two counties, the project navigates distinct zoning and building code frameworks while maintaining a unified vision. Guided by New Urbanist principles, the plan prioritizes walkability, connectivity, and shared amenities, shaping streets and public spaces that encourage daily interaction and a strong sense of belonging across the larger community.
