Charleston planning 2 affordable housing projects downtown with more than 100 units
The city of Charleston has the land and detailed plans for two new affordable housing projects on the peninsula. Now, it just needs developers to build them.
The city put both projects out to bid recently, and developers have until early next week to submit proposals. If all goes as planned, the housing could be under construction by the end of 2021, City Planner Jacob Lindsey said.
One is a 45-unit complex envisioned for a vacant parcel on F Street that the city acquired when it purchased the 1.6-acre tract along an old railway for the construction of the Lowcountry Lowline.
