New facility to be completed in November 2016
KDC, one of America’s leading commercial real estate development and investment firms, has started construction on an 80,000-square-foot Center of Excellence for Comcast in Charleston County.
“We are thrilled to start construction on KDC’s fourth major project in South Carolina,” said Larry Wilson, division president, KDC. “This built-to-suit project for Comcast is located in a thriving development that will provide the excellent amenities today’s companies need to attract and retain top employees.”
Comcast’s new facility is situated alongside Interstate 26 in the Ingleside Plantation development, a 2,000-acre, mixed-use project that will include retail, hotel, office and residential housing. Located at 3450 Ingleside Blvd., the new building will house the company’s customer service and technical support teams. Comcast’s new $21.4 million office building will initially house 550 employees, with room to expand to 650 employees.
“We’re excited to partner with KDC in bringing this state-of-the-art project to life,” said Joseph Popp, senior director of real estate for Comcast. “It’s an exciting new chapter in Comcast’s positive and long-standing partnership with the Charleston community.”
The new Comcast facility has been designed with today’s workforce in mind. Employees will have access to walking trails and a planned greenway, while being conveniently located with easy access to all areas of Charleston. On-site amenities include a cafeteria with an outdoor dining patio and a fitness facility.
BB+M Architecture is the project architect, Cypress Engineering is the civil engineer, and Edwards Construction Services is the general contractor. Construction on the building is expected to be completed by Nov. 2016.
