CHARLESTON, S.C.— Charleston-based boutique real estate firm, The Cassina Group, was recognized as one of America’s fastest-growing private companies. The company was named to Inc. Magazine’s Inc. 5000, a list that represents the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment — its independent small businesses. Not only have the companies on the 2021 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but this year’s list also proved especially resilient and flexible given 2020’s unprecedented challenges.

“We are so honored to have been named to this prestigious list,” said Owen Tyler, partner and managing broker of The Cassina Group. “2020 was an unusual year and one that taught us the true importance of home. We are so grateful to have worked with so many loyal clients and to have such an amazing group of Realtors that are invested in the client experience.”

It is the fifth time The Cassina Group has earned a spot on the Inc. 5000. The company was ranked based on their 2020 numbers, where they completed more than 490 transactions with more than $385 million in closed sales. The firm is on pace to surpass those numbers in 2021, with more than $449 million in closed and pending sales so far this year.  

The innovation-driven real estate firm has a proven reputation for delivering stronger results through leading-edge technology and building lasting relationships. They consistently rank as the No. 1 boutique firm in all of Charleston. They recently launched a new website at CassinaGroup.com to showcase their beautiful Lowcountry listings. The company has two offices in Charleston, including downtown Charleston and Mount Pleasant.

Read More

CHARLESTON, S.C. – Charleston County Public Library (CCPL) will open the renovated John’s Island Library, located at 3531 Maybank Highway, on Monday, Aug. 23. The public is invited to attend a ribbon cutting ceremony beginning at 9:30 a.m. at the branch.  

“After being closed for over a year, we’re thrilled to show the community all of the exciting changes that have taken place at their branch,” said CCPL Executive Director Angela Craig. “John’s Island and the surrounding area finally have access to a modern, state-of-the-art library, equipped with resources, services, and technology that extend well beyond books.” 

The John’s Island Library closed in August 2020 to undergo renovations as part of the ongoing $108.5 million referendum-funded project passed by Charleston County voters in 2014 to build five new libraries and renovate all existing branches. Updates include: 

  • new interior finishes 
  • replacement of shelving 
  • refreshed collection items (books, audiobooks, etc.) 
  • new furniture 
  • technology upgrades 
  • new designated children and teen areas 

The Otranto Road Library, which opened on Aug. 2, was the first renovated branch to reopen its doors to the public. Three other CCPL branches –Hurd/St. Andrew’s, Mt. Pleasant, and Dorchester Road– are currently closed for renovations, with the Hurd/St. Andrew’s branch expected to reopen in the coming weeks. Designs for the renovations were created by McMillan Pazdan Smith (MPS), with MB Kahn handling construction. 

The ribbon cutting ceremony will include speakers from the library and Charleston County Government, as well as elected officials. Due to COVID-19, occupancy at the ceremony will be limited. In addition to the ribbon cutting, patrons will have the opportunity to meet the branch staff, take pictures with CCPL’s mascot Owlbert, and more.  

For more information about this library branch and updates on the construction of the other facilities, please visit ccpl.org/construction.
