The Ashley Landing redevelopment in West Ashley, Charleston, is a major mixed-use project led by developer Edens, with design by The Middleton Group. Set on a 35-acre site that includes the former Piggly Wiggly and Ashley Landing shopping center, the project aims to create a vibrant community hub featuring 240,000 square feet of retail and restaurants, 285 multifamily units, 100 townhomes, and nearly an acre of communal green space.
The development will also include a new Publix, affordable housing targeted at residents earning 80% of the area median income, and nine acres of stormwater retention to address local flooding issues. The city has pledged $45 million, while Edens is investing $300 million, making this the largest investment in West Ashley’s history.
Architecturally, the new Ashley Landing will showcase Lowcountry-style buildings with modern touches, organized around a central green to foster a walkable, village-like atmosphere. The plan includes nine new buildings for retail and dining, renovations to existing structures, and new civic spaces such as a home for Charleston Stage and a dedicated Community Room.
Construction begins in the summer of 2025 and is expected to finish within 18 months.
The project is designed to serve as a “one-stop shop” for West Ashley, allowing residents to shop, dine, and relax in park spaces without needing to drive elsewhere, and is positioned as a key gateway and community destination for the area

Well we all know who makes 80% of the median income in this town🤦🏽♀️
Who do you think that is?
Median household income for the county is a touch over 90k. So anyone making 73k or so. Unless they go specific to City of Charleston or WA.
This plan includes ADA compliance and is Senior friendly, right?
Is veterans housing available?
