HAPPENS HERE
THE
NAVY YARD AT NOISETTE
The
Navy Yard at Noisette has ended the year strong, with several recent closings
and others projects heading toward completion.
North
Charleston, SC (February 9, 2010) In the past year, the Navy Yard at Noisette (NYN)
has been alive with activity and continues to aggressively push forward despite
economic challenges.
NYN has submitted for the
LEED Neighborhood Development Pilot Program certification. A draft nomination
for listing the Navy Yard Hospital District of the National Register of
Historic Places has also been submitted.
After
purchasing historic Building NH-55, Coleman Snow Engineers, Inc. continues
renovations to the historic 17,000 square foot building, aiming for LEED Silver
certification. When completed, the building will serve as the company’s new
headquarters, and will be home to more than 25 employees.
South
Carolina Electric & Gas is nearing completion of a new Substation that will
provide modern electric service to the Navy Yard.
WPC
Engineering officially received a LEED Gold certification for their corporate
headquarters, Building 76.
The
sale of Building 780 to the Lowcountry Orphan Relief (LOR) was the first
closing of 2010. LOR provides goods and services to children
that have been removed from their homes due to neglect or abuse serving the
tri-county area.
The City of North Charleston and Testa Corporation
of Wakefield Massachusetts completed the exterior refurbishment of the historic
Powerhouse in just a few months, removing several coal silos and storage
buildings, revealing its stunning architecture. The Runaway Bay Restaurant is being created in one
of the historic Panama Officer’s Quarters on the Cooper River, by four sisters,
Donna, Mary, Lileeth & Alexis Kong. True Jamaican transplants, the sisters are
nearing completion and the realization of their plans after purchasing the
Quarters K building. According to Donna, “We [will be] the only casual- upscale
dinning facility in the Tri-county area offering the cuisine we will
have…Authentic Jamaican and Caribbean food.”
Currently
the NYN is 97% Leased. Many new companies have joined the community including,
People Matter, a HR technology start-up; Green Roof Outfitters (GRO), a green
roof company; The Cut Company, a local videographer business; TeleConsultants
and DesignMill, SPAWAR defense contractors; Intermodal Bridge Transport and
Campright Transport Service, Inc., both transportation/logistics companies; and
The Palmetto Scholars Academy, the first regional charter school for gifted
students.

of Hope, Lowcountry Area ABATE Toy Run, Friends of the Library Book Sale, the
City of North Charleston’s Culture Arts Festival Quilt & Fiber Exhibition,

Lowcountry Civic Justice Corps, Charleston Tri-County Homebuilder’s
Association, the Atlantic Green Homebuilders Conference, Parents Anonymous and
