Historic Charleston Navy Storehouse Converts to Housing
A turn-of-the-century navy storehouse has been converted into 78 boutique live/work units, including studio and one-bedroom apartments ranging from 540 to 930 square feet. Called Storehouse 9 at 1360 Truxtun Avenue, the 100-year-old, four-story brick building blends original industrial architecture with modern utilitarian design elements.
Exposed brick walls, concrete floors, original concrete mushroom columns, and historically replicated steel-frame windows run throughout the building. In keeping with its authenticity, historic details such as large window openings and original staircases and balustrades were carefully restored.
Storehouse Nine is part of a broader redevelopment led by Jamestown and local Charleston real estate developers Weaver Capital Partners and WECCO Development. The multi-phase redevelopment will transform an 85-acre portion of the former naval base into a mixed-use neighborhood.
The building is positioned alongside Storehouse Eight, which will be reactivated in the coming months with office and an event venue, as well as additional retail, restaurants, and design showrooms.
