The Devine District: A modern update to a historic landscape in Shandon neighborhood
June 12, 2018
Estates & Companies, a new generation, announced the plans for The Devine District, the newest mixed-use community located in Columbia’s historic Shandon neighborhood.
Once the trade center of Shandon, the intersection of Devine and Maple will be home to The Devine District. Providing a premier live-work-play environment in the heart of the Devine Street Corridor, Devine District will combine urban for-sale and for-rent living space with best-in-class amenities, premier retail and dining, and well-located office space. The development broke ground this February and is slated for completion in 12 to 14 months. The property will consist of 145 multi-housing apartments including select exclusive condominium residences and up to 5,000 square feet of retail/restaurants. Offering 30,000 square feet of modernized Class A office space, Devine District is home to The Sinus Center of South Carolina, Holt Consulting, and Chappell, Smith & Arden, P.A.
Celebrating the neighborhood’s history through architecture and design, the development’s residential community will feature efficiency, 1 and 2-bedroom apartment homes. The apartment homes will offer expansive floorplans, spacious custom wood closets, sleek kitchens with dual hued cabinetry, quartz countertops, under cabinet lighting, USB charging stations, modern showers, and 10-foot ceilings. The select 2 bedroom, 2 bath condominium residences will feature handcrafted, eco-friendly, luxurious and timeless designs with the best in smart home technology.
Nestled near 700 Woodrow (an Estates & Companies community), Devine District will offer a variety of appealing amenities including a rooftop lounge with a contemporary outdoor kitchen, state of the art fitness center, a picturesque courtyard, a bike share and storage, and The House. Inspired by Shandon’s historic Community Club, The House will serve as a gathering spot that fosters a sense of community for the residents of Devine District and a Airbnb destination for visitors and tourists. Encompassing the live-work-play ethos of Old Shandon, Devine District will also be home to a co-working space, coffee bar, and an engaging social lounge. Aligning perfectly with Devine Street’s pedestrian friendly milieu of independent shops, high-end fashion, and dining establishments, Devine District will serve as the epicenter of the highly-coveted Shandon neighborhood.
