Pacific Box & Crate
Mixed-Use Development
Pacific Box and Crate, a multi-use development in Charleston’s evolving Upper Peninsula, occupies a nearly 10-acre footprint along King Street. The site originally housed an outpost of Pacific Guano, a fertilizer company which processed phosphate on the site starting in 1869, and later a box and crate warehouse; the name “Pacific Box and Crate” embraces the industrial heritage and celebrates the legacy of the hardworking people who spent time there.
Anchoring this development is tech company BoomTown, transforming 60,000 SF of vacant warehouse space into a vibrant workplace. The renovation of an existing brick warehouse created a mix of open offices and enclosed meeting rooms to support a variety of contemporary work models, with creative and energetic “fun zones” encouraging cross-pollination and spontaneous interaction.
Edmund’s Oast Brewing Company rounds out the south end of this development, featuring ample indoor and outdoor seating areas.
LOCATION: Charleston, SC
SIZE: 10 Acres

Design Details
Outside the Boomtown space, a variety of smaller tenants keep the development animated with restaurant activity, brewery activities, and workers enjoying the site’s amenities on their breaks. LS3P also designed Edmund’s Oast Brewery, which occupies the south side of the warehouse (a design move dictated by Charleston building codes requiring breweries to be at least 300 feet from the nearest church).
