CHARLESTON IS BOOMING — HERE’S WHY THAT MATTERS

The Charleston area isn’t just growing, it’s on fire—in a good way. From aviation and healthcare to tech, logistics, and real estate, our region is seeing serious movement. Whether you already live here or you’re thinking about buying or investing, here’s what’s happening around us right now:

Breeze Airways just launched a new nonstop flight from Charleston to Burlington, Vermont. It runs Mondays and Fridays, and it’s a reminder that Charleston is quickly becoming even more connected to the rest of the country.

Pensievision, a Charleston-based company that’s been using 3D imaging to help treat cervical cancer, is now launching into a new frontier—literally. This August, their tech is heading to the International Space Station to help monitor microbial survival in space! Not something you hear every day.

Over on Meeting Street, 200 Meeting just sold for the first time in more than 20 years. The new owner has big plans for renovations and fresh retail. At the same time, SeamonWhiteside bought a 30,000 square foot Class A office building in Mount Pleasant for $4.5 million—another sign that commercial investment is alive and well.

In Summerville, RoadOne IntermodalLogistics has leased a brand new 384,000 sqft industrial space, while Amazon just opened a Same-Day Delivery site in Jedburg Logistics Park. The new facility is bringing over 100 jobs to the area, starting at $18.50/hr.

Charleston County is also putting money behind affordable housing. They’ve opened applications for housing trust fund loans, seeded with over $8 million from local tax revenue. The goal? Support for homeownership, rentals, rehab, and new construction—much needed across our growing communities.

Meanwhile, Roper St. Francis just broke ground on a massive $1.2 billion hospital project. It’ll take four years to complete and employ 3,600 construction workers. That’s not just a hospital—that’s an economic engine.

And finally, the Four Seasons is making its debut in Charleston. The new property will include 139 hotel rooms and 36 luxury residences priced from $5 million. It’s slated to open in 2028, and it’s yet another signal that Charleston’s star is still rising.

If you’ve been waiting to make a move—don’t. This kind of growth affects everything from home values to neighborhood development. Make this market work for you!
