Beaufort SC Real Estate - 916 Bay Street | 2 Bedroom(s) and 2 Full Bath home for sale in Beaufort
Situated in the heart of downtown Beaufort, 916 Bay Street presents a rare redevelopment canvas spanning over 16,000 square feet across five floors, plus an expansive 5,000-square-foot rooftop. Built in 1978, this two-bedroom structure was designed by architect Jim Thomas of Thomas & Denzinger and engineered with hurricane, flood, and fire resistance in mind. The architectural vision emphasizes dramatic interior spaces with vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass that frame views of the Intracoastal Waterway, Waterfront Park, and marina.
The building's Brutalist character shines through exposed cast-in-place concrete bearing the imprint of cypress formwork, creating a distinctive aesthetic throughout. A penthouse already exists on the top floor, showcasing the waterway and Bay Street vistas. The adaptable floor plan and substantial square footage open possibilities for boutique hotel conversion, restaurant operations, luxury residential units, retail ventures, or a creative blend of multiple uses—all while maintaining the property's striking architectural integrity.
Located directly beside Waterfront Park with unobstructed views along the ICW, this downtown Beaufort address offers immediate access to the waterfront lifestyle and thriving cultural amenities that define the area. The property's positioning places it within the region's most dynamic mixed-use district, minutes from Charleston and the broader Lowcountry. Ready to see it in person?
