Office building going up on West Columbia’s Meeting Street

Posted

A new office building is set to add even more activity to West Columbia’s increasingly bustling Meeting Street corridor.

The Art of Real Estate is working with owner Gerald Meetze (Capital Kitchen & Bath, G. Meetze Construction) to lease the in-progress property at the corner of Meeting and 9th Street (across from Savage Hair Studio).

When complete, the building will have two floors, with two 3,540-square-foot spaces that can be leased together or separately. Both units are set to be two-story, with the building being split down the middle.

“There's three blood vessels so to speak that really feed into West Columbia and Cayce, and that's 378, Meeting Street and Knox Abott,” said listing agent Andrew Diegel. “Meeting Street’s smack dab in the middle of those two. It's about half a mile from the actual Congaree and the River District and all that new construction, apartments and stuff that they're putting up there. West Columbia has seen a really nice facelift here in the last couple of years, and we're kind of jumping on that train while still good, and I think we'll continue to see new buildings a lot like this one go up here in the next couple of years.” 

“I'm actually working with the same guy to acquire some additional lots on Meeting Street that we found and are probably going to be building something very similar to these.”

That new apartment development, 4West at the corner of Meeting and State Street, is quickly taking shape. Once done, 4West will bring 52 new luxury residences and approximately 15,000 square feet of commercial space (and Another Broken Egg Cafe) to a River District that has already been boosted by the completion of the previous three phases of the Brookland luxury apartment complex.

Revitalizing the Meeting Street corridor has been a big emphasis for the city of late, with West Columbia allocating $3.5 million in American Rescue Plan Funds to pay for improvements aimed at making the area more walkable.

Diegel said that buildings like the one at Meeting and 9th are in line with positive trends in West Columbia and Lexington County when it comes to economic development.

“Buildings like these, developments like these, we're only going to see more and more of them as the area grows and develops.”
