Overview (Narrative Excerpt from Original Project Submission):

The Quilt is a 1.62 million square foot, $850 million mixed-use development, which will be built out in two phases over six years at a cost of $663.7 million. Guided with three pillars of community, ecology, and connectivity in mind, The Quilt is a vibrant, mixed-use development which creates an activated waterfront. This edge is plugged into by a series of landscaped, pedestrian friendly areas that act as a sponge protecting the North Charleston community from the escalating threat and devastating effects of inundation. The Quilt is accessible through multiple equitable and sustainable modes of mobility, including improved public transit service and bike-ability. This new and exciting LEED™ certified neighborhood celebrates and amplifies North Charleston’s diverse population and allows the greater Charleston community to access a historically sequestered riverfront.
