Historic Plantation Redevelopment

About This Case

Our client came to us with a complex development challenge. He planned to develop a portion of a long-neglected plantation property into a low-impact residential subdivision while preserving the most significant archeological and natural elements on site. This required navigating several complex technical, regulatory, and political challenges. 

 

We helped the client achieve his goals by working strategically and effectively. We teamed up with the most reputable technical consultants and engaged key stakeholders both in the public and private sectors. We solved problems, cemented relationships, and accomplished results. Our team’s efforts culminated in the permanent preservation of the most historic aspects of the site in collaboration with Charleston’s leading historic preservation agency.

 

When the time came to secure the necessary zoning entitlements, we led the way and secured them all without any litigation. Today, this neighborhood is of one the most creative, beautiful, and successful development projects in Charleston. 

 

This experience shows that success does not always require contentious litigation.
