Midtown Charleston May Receive Permits for Small Hotels and B&Bs

The Cannonborough and Elliottborough areas may get more kudos. Another reason to make a brainy investment into the areas that I have tooted my horn about. This would be the Midtown Development, my favorite Bogard St with the Freedman's cottages and new chic Traitorria Lucca, and the entire swathe stetching from King St across Ashley Ave. The Planning Commission is having a hearing today to consider re-zoning to allow small hotels up to 50 rooms and B&Bs with as many as 10 rooms.

The thinking is that there probably won't be a 50 room hotel, just more like a 20 room inn adapted from an existing structure. There are some drop dead gorgeous buildings that are begging for adventuresome investors, and this certainly adds fuel to the fire. Just think of how you have always wanted to be your own boss....why not run a trendy B&B in the downtown area of one of the most sought after cities in the US? You could close your eyes and believe that you were a Proprietaire in Europe!

City Council is expected to consider this proposal, if recommended, on July 25th. Very exciting development for Midtown. I'm going to run over to MLS right now and see what's available. I'll post them on Condos for Sale. Stay tuned!
