Overview

Description

A rare redevelopment opportunity in the heart of downtown Beaufort, 916 Bay Street rises beside Waterfront Park with miles of uninterrupted views along the Intracoastal Waterway. Over 16,000 square feet of usable space spans five floors, plus a 5,000-square-foot rooftop--ideal for a boutique hotel, restaurant, luxury residences, retail, or a mix of all four. The top floor has already been turned into an exceptional penthouse overlooking the ICW and Bay Street. Designed by architect Jim Thomas of Thomas & Denzinger, this Brutalist landmark is engineered to withstand hurricanes, floods, and fire. Exposed cast-in-place concrete bears the imprint of cypress formwork, and vaulted ceilings add drama throughout. Floor-to-ceiling glass frames sweeping views of the waterway, park, and marina.
