Charleston's Design Review Board voted 4-0 on Oct. 5 to grant preliminary approval to Atlanta-based Catalyst Development Partners for the former Pepsi bottling plant at 1450 Meeting St. The plan calls for 332 residential units in a five-story building, a greenspace, and two two-story retail buildings. A final board review is still pending.
Why this matters here
Two new retail buildings on the upper peninsula means future storefront space, and 332 units means a few hundred new neighbors within walking distance of existing businesses. Owners nearby have a runway to start building name recognition before anyone moves in.
