Woodfield Development celebrated the completion and opening of The Ames, an upscale multifamily community in Downtown Nexton. A mixed-use community located in Summerville, Nexton is recognized as the No.1 master-planned community in the U.S. by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).
Woodfield’s history as a development firm is deeply rooted in the Carolinas. The Ames represents Charleston-based Woodfield Development’s seventeenth development in South Carolina, having delivered over 4,300 units totaling over $1 billion in the state over the past 15 years. Having announced leasing in February, the response to The Ames has been nothing short of extraordinary, with over 50% of the community leased.
“As longtime Charleston residents, we are thrilled to officially introduce our newest residential project in Summerville’s burgeoning Downtown Nexton community,” said Mike Schwarz, partner at Woodfield Development. “The property’s name, The Ames, means ‘friend’ and our team has worked diligently to deliver a one-of-a-kind lifestyle and amenity-driven project with the primary objective of connecting residents and the Nexton community in a warm, inviting, and enriching environment. We are excited about the instrumental role The Ames will undoubtedly play in the future of Downtown Nexton and its continued path of tremendous success and growth.”
Situated on approximately 10.5 acres at 3800 Zephyr Road, The Ames consists of 304 well-appointed apartment residences offering a mix of studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom units, featuring open layouts, modern kitchens with stainless steel appliances, custom built-ins, plank flooring, and private balconies and patios. The amenity-rich community features a resort-style pool with full lap lanes and tanning shelves, a courtyard, grill stations, and a 1,500-square-foot pool cabana with a bar area.
The unparalleled living experience continues with a two-story club building with a large fitness area, dedicated yoga and cycling room, club kitchen and dining space, rooftop patio, business center with co-working spaces and work pods, and multiple outdoor green spaces, plus a movie projection lawn. The Ames also includes a dog park and pet washing station, two pickleball courts, an outdoor amphitheater, and electric vehicle charging stations.
Recognized as South Carolina's most innovative and walkable community, Nexton is comprised of 5,000 acres of housing, destination dining, retail, commercial, and office space. Located in the buzzing epicenter of Downtown Nexton, The Ames is an easy walk or pedal from all the best that Nexton has to offer – from South Carolina’s finest dining options like Poogan’s Southern Kitchen and Hall’s Chophouse, to Nexton Square’s boutique shops, and a myriad of opportunities to experience vibrant culture, such as the Jazz Music Festival at Brown Family Park.
The project team for The Ames included CF Evans, Housing Studio, Seamon Whiteside, Shah Architecture and Interiors, S Wilkins Interior Design, PGIM Real Estate, and BMO Harris Bank.
