Developing Mount Pleasant office building nearly half leased

A five-story office building under development in Mount Pleasant is nearly half leased.

Portside, a 120,000-square-foot project of Atlanta-based Holder Properties, will house Serendipity Labs Coworking of New York in 30,200 square feet and Merrill Lynch Wealth Management in about 25,000 square feet, according to a source familiar with the project.

The waterfront building near Patriots Point will share a parking deck with a proposed 165-room Embassy Suites Hotel under construction nearby in Ferry Wharf. The office building is expected to open next spring.

“Holder Properties is excited to be a part of this unique community and deliver one of the few waterfront office buildings in the Charleston area,” said John Holder, CEO of Holder Properties.

Among Holder’s other Charleston-area projects are Blackbaud Inc.’s new corporate campus on Daniel Island and the River Oaks Center Office Building in North Charleston.

Serendipity Labs also will open a 33,000-square-foot space in GARCo Mill at 4854 O’Hear St. in North Charleston.
