Welcome to The Waterfront

Life on a rippling river, amidst spectacular nature and lush green spaces. A life spent in a community you can make entirely your own, with water enthusiasts, porch lovers, and adventure seekers for the choosing. A life of ease and walkability, fifteen minutes from any need: eateries, entertainment, shops.

A new life awaits.

A RARE CATCH:

Perspective perfected

Only so many opportunities exist to own on the river in a brand new home on Daniel Island.

With the river just outside your window or just steps away from your door, three new condominium buildings bring the best of The Waterfront to the river and surrounds – and now is the time to dive in.

The Sabal is located directly on the lapping waters of the Wando River offering a variety of floor plans that have been perfectly positioned to let nature’s splendor shine through.

The Camellia is nestled among grand oaks and golden-green marshes. “The Camellia has been designed and positioned to take advantage of stunning water views,” says Harriette Calder, project manager at The Waterfront.

The Magnolia residences, meanwhile, were specifically designed around elements most loved by residents in the first collection. The building also shares a private, Charleston-garden-inspired courtyard with Sabal residences.

Last chance to stake your claim in the village’s second collection; only a few waterfront residences remain
“It sits out on a point to capture views of the Wando River on one side and a landscape of marsh in the other.”

Fresh new look

Each residence in the collection is freshly designed by acclaimed talent Betsy Berry. Delightfully available are a variety of easy-living design packages, each with a spacious Southern feel.

Premiering soon

With the second collection nearly sold out, The Waterfront’s third collection will be released in 2023, replete with new offerings to enchant everyone. Snag a spot on our list to learn more.

“My vision is a timeless environment as well as a calming one,” says the international designer, whose work has been featured in Domino, Garden & Gun, Elle Décor, Town & Country, Vogue, Architectural Digest, Southern Living, Martha Stewart Living, and more. “There’s a bit of a modern twist and a bit of youthfulness throughout the project as well.”

INSIDE THE RIVERFRONT LIFE:

For those who live at The Waterfront, a lively local community is right at their fingertips

One of the most engaging perks of living at The Waterfront is purely social. –––

Feel like eating out this evening? A bevy of restaurants, including The Waterfront’s own eateries, are but a few minutes’ amble away. Want to hit the trails with your friends? The Daniel Island trail is just outside your door. Or if you’d rather take your furry friend out for a day of play, a park is just down the lane.

And try this: stroll out your door to watch worldwide tennis stars at the Credit One Charleston Open each April. While more than one hundred women’s tennis names (Serena Williams and Steffi Graf are just two) have traveled across the globe to play at the world’s largest women’s tennis tournament, your pleasure stroll on foot will last exactly twelve minutes—as you pass merrily by a string of slow-moving cars.

So much, so close at hand

"Walking home from the concert, we truly realized just how special this place is. The lights shining up into the trees, walking along the river, the ferry, the beautiful live oaks... magical!"

A case in point? An entire concert series is the same short traipse away: Daniel Island’s Credit One Stadium also plays host to a lineup of spring, summer, and fall concerts.

From the Dave Matthews Band this past summer to legendary rock & roll Hall of Famer Elton John this autumn, there’s something magical about walking through an alley of oaks, sunlight dappling your path and riverside breezes stirring the leaves above, to see one of your favorite performers take the stage.

Janet Sander recalls walking home from the Sheryl Crow concert in June.

“Our intention was to visit Charleston and keep our Florida home full time,” says this business owner and mother of two, who recently purchased a residence at The Waterfront. “But a short while after being here, we realized this was a magical place. We love the ability to walk or bicycle to so many restaurants. We really enjoy spending time with our neighbors, who are all so like-minded.”

A warm welcome

Having purchased a home from the first collection released at The Waterfront with the intention of part-time residence in April 2022, the couple had already transitioned to live full time by September. When they made this decision, they then purchased a home in the second collection to take advantage of additional space and breathtaking views.

Why did they select The Waterfront? Beyond the ability to lock their front door and leave to travel at any moment, Janet is also now Gigi to a new granddaughter, their first— Camelia Rose – who recently came home to nest with her parents in Mount Pleasant.

“Being so close to family and friendly neighbors were among our deciding factors,” says Janet, who is president of both caSEAno Travel and Pair-A-Dice Travel.

A well-received renovation

Already a state-of-the-art tennis facility, Credit One Stadium has taken its game to an even higher level with a series of extensive upgrades.

The new stadium, so easily accessible from The Waterfront, can seat 11,000 people, up from 7,000, making it an ideal venue for major international performances.

“We’ve come up with a plan that maintains the stadium’s intimacy while also modernizing the facility,” says Ben Navarro, chief executive officer of Charleston Tennis and local philanthropist.

Adds Bob Moran, Charleston Open tournament director, “We can’t imagine a better way of celebrating our fiftieth year in tennis.”

“It’s hard to meet and connect with others at this time of our lives. Everyone has been so welcoming; our neighbors are all really close and they welcomed us to their group as if we had always lived at The Waterfront.”

Serving up ease of living

While the nature-rich events and open sense of community at The Waterfront contribute to the beauty and enrichment of living on Daniel Island’s riverfront, an extra element makes its inhabitants feel they’ve found something truly special.

to give people a bright hello, to ask about their family and friends, and always to solve for anything that may come up. We try to go out of our way if a resident needs assistance with anything.”

If a delivery is coming to a resident, he says from the ground floor of The Osprey—where The Post is located—it will be delivered to a secure, climate-controlled area and kept safe and dry until the owner arrives to claim it.

The Waterfront’s onsite property management team, East West Hospitality, is that secret ingredient.

Life, simple and easy

As general manager of The Waterfront’s community management team, Mark Fitzgerald works hand in hand with a small team to serve and delight the homeowners of this unique village community on the water.

Located in the village gathering spot of The Post, where residents come to pick up their mail and packages, he’s joined by the welcoming Eugene White, assistant property manager, and a maintenance crew in offering ease and convenience to the village’s homeowners.

“We do a little bit of everything,” says Mark, a Southern coast convert originally from western Massachusetts. “Sometimes we’re here just

Another differentiator is the team’s ability and willingness to do anything from installing light fixtures to everyday home maintenance, each an item on an a la carte menu of services. “It’s so hard, especially these days, to get an electrician to come out to hang one light fixture,” Mark says. “This way our residents don’t have to worry about a thing.”

The team also offers an optional trash valet service for those who want it.

“If you’re out of town for an extended period of time,” he adds, “we’ll make sure your water isn’t running, that your lightbulbs aren’t burned out, and ensure everything’s good so when you come home, you can just jump right back into The Waterfront lifestyle.”

Homeowners are also given access to an online portal where they can see community documents, a social calendar, a cleaning calendar, their account statements, and the like.

A community management team that delights in hospitality

True warmth

When asked what excites him most about his role, Mark doesn’t hesitate. “What I like most is the chance to make a positive impact for someone by taking care of their home for them, by giving them peace of mind and letting them know that I truly care,” he says. “It makes a big difference to them. It’s my goal to make sure The Waterfront is maintained at the highest level and to set the bar for others with our standards, so that the community thrives.”

Eugene agrees. “I love finding out where people come from, who they are,” he says. “I love that sense of community and family. I’m a part of these homeowners’ lives. I get to meet their families, their friends, to watch their children grow.”

Peace of mind

“The greatest benefit we provide to our homeowners is the ability to rest easy: to know their home is being expertly taken care of by us,” says Mark, who underwent a rigorous certification process, including the writing of a thesis, to earn his Professional Community Association Manager designation.

“The ease of ownership here enables you to come and go as you please without having to give it a second thought,” he finishes. “We’re always here, we’re already on site, and we have eyes on your building every day.”

Fresh fare to share

New offerings at The DIME to delight foodies

From the earliest days of The Waterfront, residents and visitors alike have enjoyed swinging by The Daniel Island Market & Eatery (DIME) to savor a morning cup of coffee, ice-cold glass of fruit juice, frosé, or grab-and-go treat.

Now The DIME has turned on a dime—adding a host of new offerings food aficionados are already clamoring for.

New menu fare

Foodies will love the menu transformation, which now includes a full breakfast menu, including shakshuka, a soft scramble, a lox bagel, avocado toast, and the crowd-pleasing breakfast burrito.

The eatery then switches over to its new lunch menu. Centered around a new wood-fired pizza oven from which hot Neapolitan-style pizzas emerge, bubbling with cheese and fresh ingredients, The DIME also offers up a delightful diversity of lunch and supper items, from brisket banh mi and a tuna poke bowl to a veggie burger and a chopped house salad with chickpeas, pepperoni, feta, and olives.

The cocktail menu also received an update. Along with the crowd-favorite frosé, The DIME is serving up classics like an espresso martini, an Irish coffee—all the way to a Montenegro latte.

LIFE ON AN ISLAND COAST:

Where the sailing is smooth and the living is easy

There’s something wonderfully special about living beside the lapping waters of a tidewater river.

There are the ever-changing views as the sun rises and sets, each one worthy of a postcard. It’s nature taking center stage as porpoise fins rise from the waves and an ibis sweeps white-winged over marsh grasses. One morning your board beckons you to a sunrise paddle; the next, a boat outing with family or friends fills the day.

And for many, it’s the delight of fostering new skills for a new life by the water.

Go by water

There’s nothing quite so serene and invigorating as sailing coastal waters.

Newcomers to the boating scene are in luck. The Daniel Island Yacht Club offers a learn-to-sail program for children and adults open year round to the community.

Over the summer, nearly 60 young sailors, ranging from age 7 to 16, came through its junior sailing

program. “We had a group of incredibly talented instructors who have been long- time sailors,” says Director of Sailing Stefan Kuehn. “Available to the kids were the Club’s open skiffs, Optimist-class sailboats, and two-person Z240s.”

“Bishop England, Philip Simmons, and School of the Arts are practicing at our facilities,” he adds. "We also offer an after-school racing program for our younger sailors.”
