Project Description

In 2015, Limehouse Produce purchased the former site of the Charleston Naval Exchange Building on Carner Avenue for the development of a multi-faceted agribusiness program. Limehouse Produce, which provides conventional row crops, local specialties, fresh herbs and dairy products to Charleston area restaurants, will rehabilitate the abandoned 127,156-sq.-ft. Exchange Building into a food hub with additional tenant space for locally owned businesses and nonprofits at reduced rental rates. It also build a new 49,556-sq.-ft. produce distribution and cold storage facility, with the total project encompassing over 175,000 sq. ft. on 14.6 acres. As a ā€œfirst-moverā€ in this distressed neighborhood, the economic impact of this project is tremendous.
