Renting Retail Space in Union Pier & The Waterfront

This 70-acre site is currently the largest urban redevelopment opportunity in Charleston’s history. In early 2026, the transition from an industrial cruise terminal to the Urban Waterfront District is in full swing, featuring the first phases of a continuous public promenade and 25 new city blocks (Source: SC Ports Authority / Coastal Conservation League 2026). 2026 is defined by "Resilient Urbanism." As the rezoning from Industrial to Planned Unit Development (PUD) concludes, the waterfront is becoming the city's "New Face." It is the top destination for ultra-high-net-worth investors and developers seeking to build the next generation of Charleston’s historic architecture with modern flood-mitigation standards.
