Nestled amidst the picturesque landscapes of Charleston, South Carolina, lies a hidden gem that combines innovation, sustainability, and natural beauty – Camp Hall. Far from being just another industrial park, Camp Hall is a visionary concept that blends industry and environment harmoniously. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at Camp Hall, its unique features, and the impact it is making on the region.
Camp Hall is more than just a business park; it’s a testament to sustainable development and environmental stewardship. Designed with a focus on minimizing its ecological footprint, the site features numerous green spaces, including parks, trails, and water features. These elements not only provide a refreshing break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life but also promote a healthy and active lifestyle for employees and visitors alike.
Master-planned for ultimate functionality, Camp Hall offers a wide variety of options for businesses with a desire to thrive. Camp Hall provides specific site-development opportunities ranging from 7 to 600 acres. This wide range of parcel sizes allows for maximum flexibility to meet industry-specific needs.
Avian Commons
At the heart of Camp Hall is the Avian Commons, a thriving collection of small businesses and conveniences designed to meet the modern demands of the workforce and help balance the necessities of daily life. Here in the core of the community, the workforce can easily connect — to everyday errands, to nature and to each other.
Architecture
With state-of-the-art manufacturing in a setting of vast natural beauty, the design concept of “Nature and the Machine” permeates the built environment. Like the vehicles and machines produced in Camp Hall, the Architecture is intended to embody precision, sleekness, and innovation.
With bird protection and awareness as a major focus for Camp Hall, the Architecture likewise found its inspiration. The building forms are abstract interpretations of the patterns, colors, and figures found in native species. The “Avian Pavilion” hovers over the lake greeting visitors with outspread wings, encouraging visitors to take refuge from the sun, birdwatch, and learn more about Camp Hall’s mission.
A Charleston-based convenience store chain is the first retailer to buy property in Santee Cooper’s Camp Hall business park, home of the Volvo Cars manufacturing plant.
Refuel Operating Co. paid the state-owned utility $1.25 million recently for a 1.14-acre parcel at 446 Autonomous Drive in the nearly 7,000-acre tract in Berkeley County.
The property, about a mile or so from Interstate 26, is near Volvo Car Drive on a site called Avian Commons, a planned 114-acre village center catering to employees of Camp Hall businesses.
The transaction has been in the works for a while. Santee Cooper spokeswoman Nicole Aiello said no other retailers have purchased land in the Avian Commons parcel.
Refuel has 215 locations across the Southeast and Texas, mainly through acquisitions. The food and fuel provider also operates several stores in the Charleston area.
