About Cainhoy
The 9,000-acre Cainhoy property is being planned and developed as a new master-planned, mixed-use community located within the City of Charleston and Berkeley County. Cainhoy was annexed into the City of Charleston over 20 years ago as an integral part of the city’s growth plan and serves as a key connection between Mount Pleasant and Charleston. An estimated $250 million in infrastructure funding (schools, roads, bridges, sewer, water) by the city, county, state and federal governments is in place. Many of these improvements are underway or completed to support growth on the peninsula and surrounding areas.
Bordered by both the Wando and Cooper rivers, development plans call for the creation of a new “town” where innovative trails will connect people to rivers, creeks, parks, and marshlands, as well as neighborhoods, schools and a vibrant village. Conservation-minded planning principles will incorporate and enhance the land’s distinctive natural and cultural resources and over 50% of the property will remain undeveloped natural areas.
With approved zoning for residential neighborhoods, schools, retail and commercial, Cainhoy will become a significant submarket within Charleston…the city’s last “borough.” The property is fully entitled for as many as 18,000 homes, although approximately half that number is anticipated to be built. The community’s first public school, Philip Simmons Elementary and Middle School opened to Cainhoy area students August 2016 and the Philip Simmons High School opened August 2017.
The Guggenheim family and family interests continue their ownership of this land of which they have been stewards for decades. They have engaged the development team responsible for Daniel Island to lead the vision and development of their property as a vibrant new residential community and a place of recreation and retreat for greater Charleston.
