Investment Highlights

  • Nearly 20,000 SF of interior space across multiple levels with dual waterfront and Bay Street views.
  • Zoned Commercial Residential with active short-term rental permit and existing entitlements for redevelopment.
  • Structural design allows full interior reconfiguration without limitations; utility chases simplify future upgrades.

Executive Summary

916 Bay Street presents a rare opportunity to acquire Beaufort’s tallest and most architecturally significant waterfront property. Spanning nearly 20,000 square feet across multiple levels, the building offers sweeping views of the Intracoastal Waterway and direct access to the city’s iconic Waterfront Park. Designed by renowned architect Jim Thomas, the structure combines Brutalist design with enduring materials, creating a bold and timeless identity.
The property features expansive balconies, a 5,000 SF rooftop with 12-foot ceiling heights, and zoning that supports commercial, residential, and mixed-use strategies. With structural flexibility, utility chases, and recent mechanical upgrades, the building is primed for adaptive reuse—whether as luxury residential, boutique hospitality, office, or a mixed-use destination. Its location between Charleston and Savannah, combined with strong pedestrian activity and proximity to dining and retail, positions 916 Bay Street as a premier investment in one of the Southeast’s most supply-constrained coastal markets.
