New St. Andrews Shopping Center

Well, it looks like Charlestonians will be giving directions by the Coburg Cow on into the foreseeable future! And with a very contemporary twist as in, "I'll meet you at the Starbuck's by the Coburg Cow." I love it!

"A 52,000-square-foot Harris Teeter supermarket will anchor St. Andrews Shopping Center as part of a $16 million redevelopment of the property that will include new buildings, access to the West Ashley Greenway for pedestrians and cyclists and 700 trees.

Charleston Mayor Joseph P. Riley Jr. said the area around St. Andrews Center consists of long-established neighborhoods that are now historic. 'The redevelopment of St. Andrews Center will create new gathering places for these neighborhoods and give new life to this area,' Riley said.

Kimco and architectural firm MCG of Cleveland plans to demolish approximately 74,000 square feet of old retail space, including the recently vacated GDC Furnishings building that was formerly a Kerrison’s department store. The developer will build about 95,000 square feet of new retail, including two buildings along Savannah Highway that will include a Starbucks coffee shop. In all, the redevelopment will add about 21,000 square feet to the 186,000-square-foot center.

The Coburg Dairy cow that stands atop a rotating advertisement on a corner of the shopping center property will remain as a familiar landmark."
