Justice Place is the cornerstone of a new development in downtown Beaufort called Justice Square. It involves the conversion of the former jail into residential condominiums and is a great example of adaptive reuse. It allows us to take a deteriorating property and adapt it to another use while preserving a historic character of the structure, a structure that might well have been torn down and lost. As an example, the visiting area has been converted into a breakfast area in one of the units, hallways have been preserved, and portions of the old jail bars have been used as accents. The adaptor for each project will consist of six 1 bedroom 1 bath units ranging in size from 600 to 735 sq. ft. and three 2 bedroom 1 ½ bath units ranging from 900 to 1050 sq. ft. Parking for all residents will be on-site.

Harbor Row while patterned after the highly successful Flow on the River development in Columbia, reflects the charm and style of the Lowcountry. 21 residences, each offering 3 bedrooms, garage, and quality finishes make this the perfect destination on Beaufort’s Lady Island. Just across the bridge from downtown Beaufort with views of the marsh and walking distance of both the marsh and harbor, it is the ideal place to call home. Low maintenance townhomes, the convenience of location, and the history of grand trees make Harbor Row Meridian perfect for your next home.

Justice Park is designed for workforce housing on the block bounded by King, Wilmington, Prince and Harrington Streets. The concept of Justice Park was prepared by Beaufort Architects Cooter Ramsey and Jeremiah Smith. It contributes greatly to the 2 block Justice Square residential community bringing life to an underserved area and demonstrates that a different income levels and styles can be aesthetically compatible and economically connected, while simultaneously adding to the tax base and economic growth to the area. The proposed financing is through the SRDP Program with the SC Housing Authority and will typically meet the needs of first responders, nurses, teachers, and service workers. It is architecturally identical to the homes being built on the adjacent block as cottages at Justice Square.

10 single-family homes and 2 duplexes will be nestled under the remaining portion of the block in downtown Beaufort bounded by King, Munson, Prince, and Wilmington Streets; it too is part of the Justice Square Project. The cottages at Justic Square have been designed by Allison Ramsey Architects of Beaufort and consist of 2- and 3-bedroom homes ideally suited for both first time home buyers and empty nesters. 2 duplexes are also being built that will further add to the character of the neighborhood.
