CHARLESTON, S.C. — Publix Super Markets has leased 45,000 square feet for a new store within a master-planned project known as WestEdge, a research-oriented urban infill development in downtown Charleston. The 25-acre development will be situated along the Ashley River adjacent to The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). The development team includes HPF Inc., Gateway Development Services, South City Partners and Charleston-based WRS Realty. Publix will anchor 10 WestEdge, a building that will include an 870-space parking garage, 350 apartments and street-level retail space. The Publix will be located next door to 22 WestEdge, a Class A office and research building. Construction on 10 WestEdge is expected to begin in August and wrap up by third-quarter 2018. Construction on 22 WestEdge is expected to begin in the fourth quarter with a spring 2018 completion. Additionally, construction is underway on 99 WestEdge, another mixed-use project within the larger WestEdge development. Phase I of WestEdge, which comprises 10 WestEdge, 22 WestEdge and 99 WestEdge, represents more than $250 million in private investment.
