PORT HOUSE COMPLEX COMING TO DANIEL ISLAND

 

Construction is under way on The Port House, a 251-unit apartment complex on Daniel Island..

 

Woodfield Investments LLC is the developer of the project located at 543 Robert Daniel Drive, near the Wellmore senior living community, with C.F. Evans Construction of Orangeburg, South Carolina, as the general contractor.

 

The 16-acre complex will include 89 flats with elevator access, 18 marsh-front townhomes and 144 flats, said Mike Schwarz of Woodfield Investments.

 

Each townhome will have its own garage, with 15 garages available for individual rental.

 

“Woodfield really tries to set a new standard with each new development we start and The Port House will be no exception,” Schwarz said. “Our amenity spaces will be unrivaled in the greater Charleston area and the site itself is beautiful. Daniel Island currently does not have any for rent townhomes built to the standard of these 18

we are building on the marsh.”

 

Woodfield also is the developer for Newbrook at Point Hope on Clements Ferry Road. Some other projects include Woodfield South Point, Woodfield St. James, Woodfield Long Point, The Standard, Wharf 7, Cooper River Farms, and The Heyward. Port House will be the company’s 13th project in the Charleston area.

 

“We were very successful with our first Daniel Island community called Wharf 7,” said Schwarz. “Daniel Island is a world class residential community that fits perfectly with Woodfield’s strategy of serving the best neighborhoods in each of the markets we serve.”

 

A date for completion of the project has not been released.
