Magnolia Landing: An Urban Waterfront Charleston Community Coming Soon

Magnolia Landing

Charleston’s New Waterfront Live-Work-Play Community

Magnolia Landing is poised to become one of Charleston’s most transformative waterfront communities — a visionary mixed-use neighborhood along the Ashley River that blends modern living, vibrant commerce, and natural beauty into one dynamic destination.

Set on approximately 192 acres of prime riverfront property on the Upper Peninsula, Magnolia Landing has been years in the making. After extensive planning and collaboration with city leaders, the project officially broke ground in 2025 and is expected to unfold in thoughtful phases over the next decade.

This ambitious development is designed to reconnect Charleston to its waterfront while creating a walkable, energetic neighborhood where residents can live, work, and play — all in one place.


A Community Designed for Modern Living

Magnolia Landing will feature a diverse mix of residential options designed to appeal to a wide range of homeowners and renters. Plans include up to 4,000 residences, with a variety of housing styles such as:

  • Luxury waterfront apartments
  • Townhomes
  • Condominiums
  • Single-family homes

 

The community will prioritize walkability, green space, and river views, creating a neighborhood that feels both connected and relaxed. Whether you’re seeking a primary residence, second home, or investment opportunity, Magnolia Landing represents an exciting new chapter in Charleston real estate.

Waterfront Amenities & Outdoor Living

A defining feature of Magnolia Landing is its direct access to the Ashley River. The development will include:

  • A marina with boat slips

  • Day-dock access for waterfront dining

  • A boat club and water recreation opportunities

  • Scenic boardwalks and waterfront promenades

  • Approximately 25 acres of parks and public green space

Designed to embrace the natural landscape, Magnolia Landing will offer walking trails, gathering spaces, and riverfront views that make outdoor living part of everyday life.


Retail, Dining & Entertainment

Magnolia Landing isn’t just a residential community — it’s a destination. Plans call for a vibrant mix of restaurants, boutique retail, and entertainment spaces that will create an active, street-level atmosphere.

Waterfront dining experiences, local shops, and thoughtfully curated businesses will bring energy to the neighborhood while serving residents and visitors alike.


Office & Commercial Space

In addition to residential living, Magnolia Landing will incorporate approximately one million square feet of office and commercial space. This creates a true live-work-play environment where professionals can enjoy a short commute — or no commute at all.

The commercial component is expected to attract a mix of local companies, entrepreneurs, and regional businesses, further strengthening Charleston’s growing economic landscape.


Hospitality & Future Growth

Plans for Magnolia Landing also include hotel accommodations to support Charleston’s thriving tourism and business travel sectors. As the community builds out through the late 2030s, it is expected to become one of the largest mixed-use developments in the region.

First residential deliveries are anticipated within the next few years, with additional phases rolling out in stages.
