An 80-year-old abandoned ice processing plant on Spruill Avenue in North Charleston is getting new life as developers have broken ground to redevelop it into a modern and flexible office park.
Located just one mile away from Park Circle, the complete buildout of The Ice House at Park Circle development will add 46,000 square feet of adaptable use office space among three, two-story buildings a renovation of the former ice processing building and two new buildings that will be added to the property.
Three buildings on the site will be demolished to make way for the contemporary office buildings. Developers are using state tax credits through the S.C. Abandoned Buildings Revitalization Act for the renovation of the ice house processing facility.
