Property 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, an art gallery, restaurant, luxury residences, retail, or a mixture of all. The top floor has been built out into an exceptional penthouse overlooking the ICW and Bay Street. Porches and patios overlook both the water front and Bay Street. An exceptional and unique property. 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. Construction includes steel-reinforced concrete walls, vertical and horizontal chases for easy MEP modifications, non-structural interiors for seamless customization, a private elevator, and gated covered parking. The marina sits 400 feet away; downtown shopping and dining are at your doorstep. More than a building, it's a chance to reimagine a cornerstone of Beaufort's historic district.
