West Ashley is the growth engine of the City of Charleston. City planners estimate the incorporated West Ashley population reached approximately 71,854 by 2025--representing a 6% increase since 2020, more than double the national average of 2.8% over the same period. Charleston as a whole recorded 162,499 residents in 2024, with West Ashley housing nearly half of that total. An estimated 6,000 new housing units are planned or under active devel With 85,000 residential units estimated within a five-mile radius of the broader West Ashley circle, the rooftop density to support a full-service retail center is not approaching--it is already here. Essex Farms is positioned at the intersection of everything that drives successful retail in today's market: population growth, rooftop density, traffic infrastructure investment, a dominant grocery anchor, and a diverse daily-needs tenant mix. With 43,000+ vehicles per day on Glenn McConnell Parkway, two miles to I-526, 6,000+ homes in the pipeline, and a newly signalized entrance, this is a once-in-a-market-cycle opportunity to lease into the defining retail address for West Ashley's next chapter.
