About the project

The Peninsula of Charleston is a luxury Life Plan Community rising at 609 King Street on upper King Street in downtown Charleston, South Carolina, developed by Liberty Senior Living with Evening Post Industries and designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects. The seven-storey building will hold more than 140 condominium residences for residents 62 and older, ranging from compact homes to expansive multi-bedroom residences, under an ownership model rarely found in senior living: residents own their homes outright and can sell them, pass them to heirs or borrow against the equity. Drawing on the architecture of the historic Charleston Orphan House, the community wraps two private Charleston gardens and more than 40,000 square feet of shared amenities, including three dining venues, a wellness center, an indoor pool, a spa, gathering lounges, secure garage parking and concierge services. A full continuum of on-site care, from independent living through assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing, offers long-term security, while the upper King Street address puts residents within walking distance of the restaurants, boutiques, galleries and courtyards of the Holy City.
