Big update on the Union Pier redevelopment šCharleston businessman Ben Navarro just shared his vision for transforming Union Pier and itās 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: āmany hands building our city over time.āHereās the plan:šļø Extend Charlestonās street grid through Union Pier with civic buildings and public parks.š Design flood protections that also help nearby neighborhoods.šØ 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 āintentional and incremental developmentāā¦small, meaningful projects that move Charleston forward for the next generation.š¬ What do you think of this approach?
