Downtown Daniel Island launches Phase II

Carolina First Bank and Ali Baba Restaurant are the first major tenants to sign with Phase II of Downtown Daniel Island, the 10-acre mixed-use town center project that launched its first phase in 2004.

Owner and developer James Doran Co. announced that Phase II will add three buildings and 30,000 square feet to the project. The bank will occupy about 3,000 square feet in Building 1000, a 5,000-square-foot structure on Island Park Drive.

Buildings 500 and 600 will be located on Seven Farms Drive across from the Family Circle Cup Tennis Center. Ali Baba, an upscale Mediterranean restaurant, will occupy Building 500, which will feature a patio area and 9,098 square feet of office and retail space.

Building 600 will offer 20,912 square feet of office and retail space in a two-story structure next to Guggenheim Park. Developers are in negotiations with a neighborhood-style restaurant that would become a key tenant for the building.

Buildings 500 and 600 should begin construction this summer and should be complete in about eight months. Building 1000 is expected to be complete soon after.

Downtown Daniel Island is a village-style concept offering a total of 170,000 square feet of commercial space upon completion, which is scheduled for later this year.
