historic district, offering a taste of Lowcountry living.

features lush, verdant landscapes filled with home sites,
golf courses, and other amenities. In recent years, a
number of award-winning restaurants and popular shopping

The first phase of
Berkley Place, Sea Turtle Cinemas, a 12 screen movie
theater, has recently opened. Plans call for five
buildings surrounding the theater, each two or three
stories tall, with retail and restaurants on the ground
floor and offices above. The Berkeley Place developer also
plans future phases of construction that include more
retail space just south of the cinema. The shopping plaza,
now under construction, will house about 70,000 square
feet of retail and restaurant space, with as much again
earmarked for office space. Buckwalter Parkway also will
be the site of a 300,000-square-foot technology park
facility, with more than 1 million square feet of retail
and restaurant space, a hotel and multifamily apartments.
The park will bring 125 new jobs with a payroll of nearly
$5 million, according to the Greater Beaufort-Hilton Head
Economic Partnership. The $8.9 million project, known as
the May River Technology Park , will inject about $10
million into the state's economy, according to the
