More On the New North Charleston

If you haven't been to the new Shoppes at Centre Pointe or the Tanger Outlet, you've really missed something . . . and I'm not talking about a good bargain or a great steak at Fatz Cafe. This development is the epicenter for a commercial revitalization that is already sending out ripples –
Kim Henshaw, a commercial real estate leasing agent in the area, "'What's happening at and around Centre Pointe is analogous to the boom in Mount Pleasant around Towne Centre and the redevelopment of King Street in downtown Charleston.'

'I think basically what North Charleston has done in fostering this development is allowed for the creation of something that will serve the breadth of the community rather than specific user groups,' she said. 'And because you're catering to everybody, you're going to draw from North Charleston, Summerville, West Ashley and, yes, even Mount Pleasant and Charleston.'

"Bill Hantske, Centre Pointe Development LLC's project manager, describes what's happened on the land as the 'biggest and most successful commercial development project' he's ever been involved in.

'Our anchors, Wal-Mart, Sam's Club and Tanger, are phenomenal, but you know when you get right down to it, what made this a success was what made it a compelling property in the first place: its general location,' he said."
