CHARLESTON — The city housing authority’s plan to redevelop one of its smallest apartment complexes has been fraught with delays, but before the end of this year demolition work is expected to start at 275 Huger St.
The two-story buildings with a total of 12 apartments are slated to be replaced by a taller, 77-apartment complex in the same peninsula location for people with a range of incomes.
The Charleston Housing Authority (CHA) has received final approval from the City of Charleston’s Board of Architectural Review (BAR) for the redevelopment of 275 Huger Street, advancing a key affordable housing project on the peninsula.
The approved plans call for replacing an aging 12-unit structure with a new, 77-unit affordable housing community designed to reflect Charleston’s historic architectural character while addressing the city’s growing demand for attainable housing.
