Bye, bye, endless shrimp. West Ashley might be getting an even better deal, with a health kicker. A freestanding emergency department to be operated by the Medical University of South Carolina is being reviewed by the city of Charleston.
The development is proposed for the 2080 Sam Rittenberg Blvd. — the site of a shuttered Red Lobster . The location would complement the existing MUSC Health West Ashley Pavilion , which opened nearby at Citadel Mall in December 2019 within the former JC Penney department store.
Charleston bar co-owned by 'Southern Charm' stars is now open on Spring Street Sebastian Davis with ADC Engineering spoke on behalf of the applicant for the project Dec. 12, requesting preliminary approval from the city's Technical Review Committee . “We are planning to provide a new building, essentially, that fits the site better,” he said.
Plans call for a single-story structure. MUSC, which was still finalizing plans as of its board of directors meeting last week, plans to lease the building, according to Andrew Pardue of E4H Environments for Health Architecture . The property owner is affiliated with Plano, Texas-based Intuitive Health , a physician-led company that specializes in emergency care.
It bought the former seafood restaurant, which Red Lobster vacated in early 2023, for $3.75 million in October. More homes hit the Charleston market, but demand keeps prices from falling Currently, there is no access to the property from Sam Rittenberg Boulevard.
