Woodfield Development starts West Ashley apartments

Charleston-based Woodfield Development, a national developer for multifamily communities, is beginning construction on 285 West Ashley apartment units.

The developer purchased Westbourne Ashley Landing and is redeveloping the property as its 21st residential property in the Charleston region.

“We are honored to be a part of the redevelopment of Ashley Landing and working with EDENS to bring their vision to life here in this great neighborhood,” Mike Schwarz, partner at Woodfield Development, said in the release. “Opportunities of this scale are increasingly rare. Ashley Landing will reconnect a highly visible corridor, create new opportunities for residents and businesses, and establish a lasting focal point for West Ashley’s continued evolution. Westbourne will bring new housing to one of Charleston’s most desirable neighborhoods and help establish the residential foundation for the broader redevelopment.”

The property is located at Sam Rittenberg Boulevard and Old Towne Road, and will have one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments between 384 and 1,663 square feet.

Residential amenities will include EV stations, indoor mail rooms, fitness facilities with private studios, a business center with work pods, a market, pet spa and park, pickleball court, and a saltwater pool with a sunbathing deck.

“We’re proud to partner with Woodfield Development on this project in West Ashley and invest in a community that is so integral to the Charleston region,” Mary Katherine Phillips, senior director of investments and Charleston market lead at EDENS, said in the release. “Together, we’re focused on creating a place that brings people together — delivering much-needed residential while fostering connection, walkability and the everyday experiences that make neighborhoods feel like home.”

Over the past 20 years, the developer has completed more than 4,600 units with over $1.2 billion in value. The Ashley Landing apartments are expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2028.

Financing for the construction is from TD Bank, with equity financing from PGIM. Other companies on the development project include Housing Studio, Seamon Whiteside, Shah Interiors, S Wilkins Interiors and SPX. Carter and Carter is the general contractor
