280 Meeting comprises seven luxury residences nestled in the exclusive Ansonborough neighborhood. These new construction residences are tucked between the rooftops of Charleston's historic Peninsula and the vibrant new luxury residential block of Meeting Street.The site is being reimagined as seven private residences--five condos within a restored main building and two townhomes wrapped around a garden courtyard with a pool. The work is led by Bello | Garris Architects, whose practice on the Peninsula is known for a disciplined, quietly classical hand.The site sits a few blocks from Marion Square and the King Street retail corridor, closer still to the neighborhood cafes, galleries and residential lanes that have always defined Charleston's Peninsula.The gesture here is restraint: preserve the scale of the block, recess the new construction behind a stucco garden wall, and let the daylight, ironwork, and historic nature of Ansonborough lead the design. The interior direction takes its cues from the historic fabric of Ansonborough--the quiet rhythm of bespoke trim and millwork, the patina of unlacquered brass, the broad plan of a natural white-oak floor. The intent is rooms that age into the building rather than against it. Palettes lean warm and quiet--ivory and bone, dust and clay, within deep tannin accents. Floors are wide white-oak plank in a natural finish; walls carry bespoke trim and millwork; custom painted cabinetry and stained-oak built-ins throughout. Stones are honed rather than polished. Hardware is unlacquered brass in the main-building residences and polished nickel in the townhouse baths. 10-to-11-foot ceiling heights throughout the residences. Exquisite taste coupled with pleasing design touches with the finest stones & wood surfaces combined with premium Thermador appliances speak to a modern home with the vestiges of the historic patina of Downtown Charleston. The palette was chosen with care--rooted in the deep history and traditions of one of Charleston's oldest neighborhoods, yet quietly attuned to how these residences will be lived in today. Amenities include a pool, fitness center with sauna, and both garage and surface parking. Construction is anticipated to begin in late 2026, with an expected delivery in the second quarter of 2028.

HOME SALES DATA & MORE INFO

Not all properties in the downtown Charleston area are historic, but a large number are, probably 40%. Historic homes for sale in Charleston SC come with some must-know rules prospective buyers should be aware of. Unlike in most cities where you can almost do what you want to your house after you buy it, here in Charleston’s downtown you have to be careful. The city officials and preservation society of Charleston goes to great lengths to ensure the historic and architectural integrity remains intact because tourism is the largest driver of our economy and that’s why people come here. To enjoy the history. If you purchase in downtown and want to make changes or renovations you must get ARB (architectural review board) approval first, and I even mean for roof repairs in a lot of instances. Things like the color of the paint have historical significance so you can not even just paint your house without a permit.
