Big update on the Union Pier redevelopment šŸ‘€Charleston businessman Ben Navarro just shared his vision for transforming Union Pier and it’s a big shift from the typical master plan approach.After months of community meetings, Navarro says the project will grow the same way Charleston always has: ā€œmany hands building our city over time.ā€Here’s the plan:šŸ™ļø Extend Charleston’s street grid through Union Pier with civic buildings and public parks.🌊 Design flood protections that also help nearby neighborhoods.šŸ”Ø Start construction along the edges first, then work inward.And the biggest headline: Beemok is donating the abandoned Carroll Building at Market & East Bay to the College of Charleston to build a world-class business school that will serve as a new gateway to both the College and Union Pier.Navarro calls it ā€œintentional and incremental developmentā€ā€¦small, meaningful projects that move Charleston forward for the next generation.šŸ’¬ What do you think of this approach?
