The former DiMare tomato packing facility off Main Road on Johns Island is being redeveloped into a roughly 16 acre commercial park by Obelisk Real Estate Partners, and phase one is finished with its first tenants moving in. Charleston County Council's Finance Committee was set to vote Thursday on an abandoned property recertification tied to a tax credit for the project.

Why this matters here

Johns Island has had very little purpose built commercial space, so a park on the island's main corridor gives local service businesses a visible address without crossing a bridge. If a Maybank Highway or West Ashley storefront has priced you out, watch this one as later phases come online through 2028.
