The Cooper
We worked with BL Harbert on The Cooper (previously known as the Cooper Waterfront Hotel) in Charleston, South Carolina.
Located on the Charleston peninsula, hotel is a six-story, 225-key, 288,000-square-foot hotel featuring a ballroom, conference space, service kitchen, a restaurant, 12,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space on Concord Street, a rooftop lounge, elevated pool, and a seawall, plus views of the harbor and downtown skyline. For decades, the site was the location of the state’s Port Authority headquarters.
Our concrete services on this project included:
- 18” structural slab on grade
- 3 levels of post-tensioned concrete frame
- 4 levels of slab on metal deck
- Full height cast in place cores for stairs and elevators.
