Construction begins on the 285-unit residential component of one of Charleston’s most anticipated mixed-use redevelopments
CHARLESTON, S.C. (July 6, 2026) – Woodfield Development, one of the nation’s top 20 developers of Class A multifamily communities, has closed on the purchase of a portion of the Ashley Landing redevelopment and will immediately begin construction on Westbourne Ashley Landing, a 285-unit mixed-use residential community that will serve as the multifamily component of the transformative Ashley Landing redevelopment in the heart of West Ashley. Groundbreaking is imminent, marking a significant milestone for one of the largest mixed-use redevelopments currently underway in the Charleston region.
“We are honored to be a part of the redevelopment of Ashley Landing and working with EDENS to bring their vision to life here in this great neighborhood,” said Mike Schwarz, partner at Woodfield Development. “Opportunities of this scale are increasingly rare. Ashley Landing will reconnect a highly visible corridor, create new opportunities for residents and businesses, and establish a lasting focal point for West Ashley’s continued evolution. Westbourne will bring new housing to one of Charleston’s most desirable neighborhoods and help establish the residential foundation for the broader redevelopment.”
“We’re proud to partner with Woodfield Development on this project in West Ashley and invest in a community that is so integral to the Charleston region,” said Mary Katherine Phillips, Senior Director of Investments and Charleston Market Lead at EDENS. “Together, we’re focused on creating a place that brings people together—delivering much-needed residential while fostering connection, walkability, and the everyday experiences that make neighborhoods feel like home.”
Construction financing is being provided by TD Bank, with equity financing from PGIM. The capitalization positions Westbourne to move into immediate active construction and advances the next phase of the broader Ashley Landing redevelopment.
Located within Ashley Landing at Sam Rittenberg Boulevard and Old Towne Road, Westbourne will consist of 285 apartment residences offering a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans ranging from approximately 384 to 1,663 square feet. Residences will feature upgraded appliance packages, quartz countertops, walk-in closets, luxury plank flooring, spacious balconies, built-in shelving, and high-speed internet.
The amenity-rich community will feature garage parking with EV stations, indoor mail rooms with package concierge services, state-of-the-art fitness facilities with private studios, a business center with work pods, grab ‘n go market, pet spa and park, pickleball court, and saltwater pool and sunbathing deck.
Westbourne’s location provides convenient access to many of the Charleston region’s major employment centers. The community is less than 10 minutes from downtown Charleston and North Charleston; approximately 15 minutes from Mount Pleasant, Charleston International Airport, and James Island; and within 20 minutes of more than 60,000 jobs, including seven of the region’s 10 largest public and private employers.
Westbourne represents Woodfield’s 21st residential community in the Charleston region. Over the past two decades, the Charleston-based developer has delivered more than 4,600 residences across the market, representing more than $1.2 billion in development. Westbourne further expands the firm’s long-standing presence in Charleston and underscores its continued investment in the region’s growth.
The development team includes Housing Studio, Seamon Whiteside, Shah Interiors, S Wilkins Interiors, and SPX, with Carter and Carter serving as general contractor. Completion is anticipated in the third quarter of 2028.
Charleston continues to rank among the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the Southeast, driven by sustained population growth, employment expansion, and continued in-migration. As one of the region’s largest residential submarkets, West Ashley has become a focal point for new housing, retail, and infrastructure investment, making it a natural location for a project of Ashley Landing’s scale and significance.
Upon completion, the 31-acre redevelopment will feature approximately 240,000 square feet of retail, restaurant, and commercial space anchored by Publix, along with residential neighborhoods, public gathering areas, pedestrian connections, and nearly one acre of central green space. Designed as a walkable town center for West Ashley, Ashley Landing will create a new community hub that serves residents across the corridor while supporting the area’s continued growth.
