A 258-unit apartment development named Woodfield Long Point is being planned on approximately 33 acres on Wando Park Boulevard in Mount Pleasant. 

This will be the third apartment development in the area for the Virgnia-based company Woodfield Investments, Inc.; the other two are West Ashley's Woodfield South Point and Goose Creek's Woodfield St. James. Plans for Woodfield Long Point include: three four-story buildings, two of which will be located on the Wando River; and a 7,000-square-foot clubhouse complete with a pool, fitness center, and cabana.

And Woodfield Long Point could be just the first of many apartment development projects in the Charleston area, driven because of an improving economy, not much recent new construction, local demographics, and issues in the for-sale home real estate market.

Construction is scheduled to begin in September and be completed by late 2012.
