Charleston Commercial Handles Sale of 438 King St. to Miami Restaurant The firm also leased several other retail properties on King Street
CHARLESTON, S.C. — Charleston Commercial, a key player in the local commercial real estate market, has brokered several deals on King Street this summer, including the sale of 438 King St. to a Miami-based restaurant.
The three-story property totalling almost 9,000 square feet sold for $5,995,000. The mixed-use property and lot was sold by ROA LLC. The interior space features a high-end retail suite and two additional floors.
The buyer is Le Chick, a Miami restaurant founded by Coco Coig and Jorge Sanchez. The restaurant concept was inspired by Rotisserie Amsterdam, the Dutch hotspot known for its delectable rotisserie chicken and burgers. Plans are to open a Le Chick location at 438 King St. at the end of 2022.
Charleston Commercial – led by C. Kendrick and managing director Joshua Schaap – was also instrumental in leasing three other retail spaces on King Street, an indication that the commercial real estate market is alive and well in downtown Charleston.
The firm leased the 1,650-square-foot space at 550 King St. to OddFellows Ice Cream Co. The small-batch ice cream shop started in Brooklyn and is known for creating wacky and weird ice cream flavors along with reimagined classics. OddFellows plans to open this fall. The space, anchored by Hyatt Hotel, was formerly occupied by Revelator Coffee.
Charleston Commercial handled the lease of 564 King St., a 1,422-square-foot space anchored by Hyatt Hotel. It will be the new home of The Drip Lounge, a medical spa administering FastVitaminIV, a blend of 19 vitamins, minerals and amino acids designed to boost exercise intensity and recovery as well as improve concentration, mood and sleep.
Dr. Craig Koniver, founder of Koniver Wellness in Charleston, is the creator of FastVitaminIV. His clients include professional athletes, Fortune 100 executives, politicians and celebrities.
Lastly, Charleston Commercial handled the leasing of 328 King St. to European clothing and fashion accessories brand Brandy Melville. The company will lease the corner retail space formerly occupied by Jos. A Bank.
“King Street is as vibrant as ever,” Schaap said. “These recent transactions demonstrate how much interest there is in downtown Charleston. From the expansion of local businesses to new businesses coming to town, this area is really booming. It’s an exciting time for retail and commercial space on King Street.”
The Charleston Commercial team is skilled at handling both high-profile and complex deals in the heart of downtown Charleston and around the region. In 2020, they brokered the sale of the former R.B.’s Seafood Restaurant on Shem Creek for $7 million. And in the last several years, the firm brokered or participated in 19 property acquisitions in downtown Charleston, totaling more than $74 million.

Attention Topography Geeks: Charleston Harbor Bathymetric Model Framed for Sale
DESIGN
Designing:
This was designed using several different programs. Downloading of digital elevation model of harbor based on bathymetric survey from NOAA website. For similiar files, search for NOAA bathymetry. The file was edited in QGIS, with raster calculation required to convert positive elevations to flatten the land for display.
This was then exported to an STL via DEMto3D plugin on QGIS. The STL was edited in Blender, to clean up the file, as there was some missing data that was unsuitable for 3D printing. The model can be scaled as needed.
If you want to purchased a finished, epoxy filled, and handcrafted framed version of this with lasered birch overlay, search etsy or face book for my username NaturallyFocused256
New Video Release: Charleston, SC Travel Guide 2021 | VLOG From the Vault! from The Traventures
Details:
This vlog was a lost one that we made a few years ago in Charleston, SC. For those of you who remember our first Charleston video, this was a follow-up trip to that one and we were amped up to be there for our 2nd time. Since the first was more of a sit-down style we wanted to give all of you a more personal take on a trip to the gorgeous southern town. Little did we realize that when we got there the memory card failed for our 4K camera so we had to do everything in a lower quality.
That right there was a game-changer for us and it probably had much to do with why we never uploaded it or even put it together for that matter!
Needless to say, we still recorded the whole trip (don’t mind how bad we are on camera lol) and it turned out to be a beautiful one. Sit back, relax, and come with us back in time a few years to America’s beautiful Charleston, South Carolina.
P.S. Bear with us as this was one of our first vlogs ever!

Grand Opening: Malika Now Open in Mount Pleasant Towne Centre
Charleston, S.C.- August 30, 2021- The same team that brought you Charleston’s first Pakistani restaurant, Ma’am Saab, is excited to announce the opening of a new Pakistani Canteen style restaurant located in Mount Pleasant Towne Centre at 1333 Theater Drive. Malika is now open, offering soulful Pakistani street food celebrating the exotic flavors Charleston has come to love through Ma’am Saab.
“Street food is an essential part of everyday life in Pakistan. Whether it’s a quick lunch with a friend, a mid-day tea and chaat date, or a quick snack to cool off after a summer shopping spree, we all turn to the ever-creative, never disappointing foods sold by hard-working vendors along the busy street sides.” shares Maryam Ghaznavi, chef and co-owner of Malika and Ma’am Saab. “Malika, which refers to “Queen” in Urdu language, is set to be a vivacious brand that will honor the street foods of Pakistan in all its glory!”
“Mount Pleasant is our family’s home, and we don’t have South Asian cuisine represented here,” shares Raheel Gauba, co-owner of Malika and Ma’am Saab. Part jokingly, part truthfully, he shares “The best place in Mt. Pleasant to have Pakistani food has been at our dinner table. But that changes now. We’re so excited to extend our dining room to our guests here in Mt. Pleasant. Playful and rebellious yet pure at heart, we hope guests fall in love with the ethos of Malika and our food made for sharing and connection.”
Chef Maryam is curating dishes that deliver on the authentic and complex flavors from the streets and canteens of Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar and beyond. Guests can expect canteen classics like the Aloo Tikki Roll, Chaat Papri, Beef Shami Bun, Cholay Biryani and Masala Fries, along with a selection of hot & cold drinks such as Mango Lassi, Pakola and Desi Hot Chai.
“We have been eagerly awaiting Malika’s opening since it was announced and are delighted to officially welcome Maryam and Raheel to the Mount Pleasant Towne Centre family,” says Kathleen Herrmann, marketing director of Mount Pleasant Towne Centre. “Malika brings a loyal following and unique dining experience to the Towne Centre through its authentic Pakistani street food. We look forward to seeing Malika’s success as we continue to broaden our chef-driven culinary mix in Mount Pleasant.”
“We’re grateful to Andy Lowe, Kathleen Herrmann and the entire team at Mount Pleasant Towne Centre for welcoming us into what feels like a close knit family of shops and restaurants united in their vision to establish a safe and one-of-a-kind experience for families in Mt. Pleasant”, added Gauba.
Malika is open Tuesday-Friday from 4-9 p.m., Saturday from 12-9 p.m. and Sunday from 12-7 p.m. For more information and to view Malika’s full menu, visit www.malikacanteen.com.
