The Ashley Landing redevelopment in West Ashley, Charleston, is a major mixed-use project led by developer Edens, with design by The Middleton Group. Set on a 35-acre site that includes the former Piggly Wiggly and Ashley Landing shopping center, the project aims to create a vibrant community hub featuring 240,000 square feet of retail and restaurants, 285 multifamily units, 100 townhomes, and nearly an acre of communal green space.
The development will also include a new Publix, affordable housing targeted at residents earning 80% of the area median income, and nine acres of stormwater retention to address local flooding issues. The city has pledged $45 million, while Edens is investing $300 million, making this the largest investment in West Ashley’s history.
Architecturally, the new Ashley Landing will showcase Lowcountry-style buildings with modern touches, organized around a central green to foster a walkable, village-like atmosphere. The plan includes nine new buildings for retail and dining, renovations to existing structures, and new civic spaces such as a home for Charleston Stage and a dedicated Community Room.
Construction begins in the summer of 2025 and is expected to finish within 18 months.
The project is designed to serve as a “one-stop shop” for West Ashley, allowing residents to shop, dine, and relax in park spaces without needing to drive elsewhere, and is positioned as a key gateway and community destination for the area…
