The Peninsula of Charleston Sales Gallery sits at 573 King Street, which is in downtown Charleston's Courier Square District, and this place shows you what the new ownership life plan community will look like once it opens around 2026. The gallery itself is a 3,700-square-foot space with antique and Lowcountry decor, a courtyard, a bar, and a kitchen, all meant to reflect Charleston's look and feel, and it's set up to host events and give future residents and families a real sense of what daily life might be. The bigger plan has 148 condominiums for people aged 62 and up, ranging in size from about 700 to 3,500 square feet, each with balconies, kitchens with high-end features, zero entry glass showers, and walk-in closets, and you can customize some finishes and floorplans if you put down a refundable $10,000 deposit.
People can request tours, view photos, ask for brochures, or send in questions using the gallery's website, which is run with privacy and data policies from Liberty Healthcare, and you'll always see information about what data's collected and how it's used, so there's an effort to keep things clear. The community itself, co-owned by Liberty Senior Living and Courier Square LLC and designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects with LS3P, is the only project of its kind in downtown Charleston, with all residences owned by the people who live there, and there's an option to sell or leave them to someone else later on, making it a type of legacy investment. Everything here, from skilled nursing and assisted living to memory support and rehabilitation, is under one roof so residents won't have to move away as their care needs change, and the aim is to provide all levels of care, personalized by a dedicated healthcare team, with support for non-ambulatory needs, 24-hour supervision, emergency alerts, medication management, and special diets.
The whole site expects to offer over 40,000 square feet of shared amenities for members, which means three dining venues, a saltwater pool inside, a wellness center, a spa, a barber salon, furnished community spaces, gardens, arts rooms, and programming that ties in with Charleston's art, culture, music, and history-plus fitness, speakers, and art classes, and spaces for both fine and casual dining. There are reserved parking options with valet, security measures like fire sprinklers, elevators, and a range of flooring like carpet, tile, and wood in the residences, and utilities come from Charleston Water Service and Dominion Energy. All the health services and homes are housed in one connected building with brick exteriors and a modern architectural roof, balconies and patios outdoors, plus features like a garage, rain gutters, an irrigation system, and lawn care handled for you.
As new owners move in, they'll have a say in how finishes, amenities, and community activities are shaped, and since the community is focused on maintenance-free living, people can travel or relax without worrying about upkeep. Residents get all types of care on site, including assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, with common and gathering spaces, concierge services, move-in support, and an emergency call system for safety. There's a strong focus on privacy and resident control of personal data, and every step-from floorplan viewing to disclosure of pricing-happens only after a deposit. The Peninsula of Charleston is set up to be a high-end but worry-free place that blends Charleston style with modern comforts and a solid plan for all stages of retirement living.
