With the assistance of Estates Management Company, a leader in real estate development and property management, Seven Hundred Woodrow, LLC has purchased The Whitney Hotel in Columbia to convert it into luxury residences for lease beginning August 2013.
“We are rebranding The Whitney to 700 Woodrow - A Devine Address - to reflect the fact that residents will be able to extend their quality of life beyond their home,” said Matt Mundy, an associate of Estates Management Company that will manage the development. “It is an alluring, pedestrian-friendly property. Residents will be within walking distance of downtown Columbia’s premier shopping and dining district. We are excited about the opportunity to develop a community that we believe will enhance the lives of our residents, the local economy and the surrounding neighborhoods.”
The upgraded apartments will include a concierge desk that will be staffed with a full-time employee and a contemporary club that will include a Social Lounge with coffee bar and a gathering area with televisions and comfortable seating. Residents will also have access to an outdoor entertainment area featuring garden/yard games, abundant seating, a dining area and gas grill. Parking will be available in front of and around the building.
“Young and mature professionals seeking an eclectic, urban living experience will be attracted to 700 Woodrow,” Mundy said. “They will be able to walk or ride their bikes to local boutique retailers and places like Devine Foods, Cantina 76, Burger Tavern 77, Half-Moon Outfitters,Britton’s, and Earth Fare. Plus they will only be a mile away from great places like Whole Foods,Ulta, Charleston Cooks!, Taziki’s, and Basil Thai Restaurant.”
Located minutes from downtown Columbia, The Vista, Five Points, Cross Hill and Garner’s Ferry, 700 Woodrow is centrally located to the interstate corridors of I-77 and I-26, which have access to I-20.
Originally, The Whitney was built in the early 1980s as a condominium tower. When the tax laws on condo ownership changed in 1986, The Whitney was converted to an all-suite hotel and residence inn.
