COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS - MOUNT PLEASANT

Mount Pleasant | Downtown Charleston | West Ashley | North Area | Daniel Island | James Island

Highway 17 North (Johnnie Dodds Blvd). Highway 17 is the most important commercial corridor in Mount Pleasant, extending from the foot of the Cooper River Bridge to the town’s northernmost boundary. Numerous hotels, neighborhood shopping centers, and a growing number of corporate office buildings are congregated within its first half-mile stretch as you enter Mount Pleasant from Charleston. Near its intersection with the Mark Clark Expressway (I-526), this corridor is home to growing number of medical offices and related facilities that have been developed in and around the East Cooper Regional Medical Center. As you travel north to its intersection with the Isle of Palms connector, Highway 17 serves as Mount Pleasant’s retail hub, highlighted by recently developed Towne Centre, home to numerous national retailers, several restaurants, and a modern movie theatre complex. As you follow this corridor to Mount Pleasant’s northern boundary, several new mixed-use developments are located at the entrances to major residential subdivisions, including the entrances to The Brickyard, Park West and Charleston National. In addition, several new commercial projects are planned for the northern stretch of this corridor, including Oakland Plantation and the master-planned Carolina Park project, which was annexed into the Town of Mount Pleasant in 2004 and which is anticipated to include the construction of 1700 homes over the next 20 to 30 years.

Coleman Boulevard. Coleman Boulevard is the principal commercial corridor providing access to the oldest sections of Mount Pleasant, including Mount Pleasant’s “Old Village” and the residential communities in and around Shem Creek. It is the only corridor besides Johnnie Dodds Boulevard that is directly accessed from the Cooper River Bridge. Near the foot of the bridge, Coleman Boulevard provides access to Patriot’s Point, a unique mixed-use development on the Charleston Harbor, which includes the Charleston Harbor Hilton Hotel resort, the Naval and Maritime Museum (home to the USS Yorktown), the Renaissance on Charleston Harbor condominium buildings, the law offices of Motley Rice, LLC (the nation’s largest plaintiff’s law firm), and a 35 acre sports complex. Coleman Boulevard is perhaps best known for Shem Creek, which historically has served as the home to Charleston shrimp boat fleet, but which has evolved into a professional and tourist center, with a hotel, many waterfront restaurants, a growing number of professional offices, and boutique shopping opportunities. After its intersection with the Mark Clark Expressway (I-526), the corridor name changes to “Ben Sawyer Boulevard” and connects to Sullivan’s Island, an exclusive and historic barrier beach community. Several new retail centers have been developed at the intersection of Ben Sawyer Boulevard and Rifle Range Road, a secondary corridor that is home to numerous residential subdivisions.

Long Point Road. Long Point Road is the first exit off of the Mark Clark Expressway (I-526) as you enter Mount Pleasant from North Charleston and Daniel Island. On the west side of I-526, Long Point Road provides industrial vehicles with access to the South Carolina Ports Authority’s Wando Terminal, located on the Wando River. However, the west side of I-526 has also seen significant non-industrial development, including the Long Point Center and Wando Park office developments and the Roper-St. Francis Urgent Care and medical office complex. On the east side of I-526, the Long Point Road corridor takes on a stronger retail and office character, anchored by the Belle Hall mixed-use development. The east side of I-526 is also the home of numerous residential subdivisions. The most eastern segment of Long Point Road is noted by minimal commercial activity as it winds through historic Boone Hall Plantation and connects with Highway 17.

Isle of Palms Connector. Constructed in part as an alternative evacuation route in the wake of the disastrous Hurricane Hugo, this two-mile long connector road joins the Isle of Palms to the Mount Pleasant “mainland”. The Connector terminates at its intersection with Highway 17, just north of the Towne Centre development. The IOP Connector also intersects with Hungryneck Boulevard, which was recently constructed as extension of the I-526 exit ramp so as to provide some relief to the intense traffic congestion associated with the intersection of Highway 17 and I-526. Aside from Town Centre, the most notable commercial development served by the IOP Connector is Seaside Farms, a 500 acre mixed-use development that is home to many boutique retailers and also the recently constructed Target.
