Food trucks, apartments and strip club expansion, here are 4 upcoming Myrtle Beach projects
More apartments, a popular seafood restaurant going mobile and additional store space at Broadway at the Beach are all on tap over the next several months across Myrtle Beach as development in America’s fastest-growing city continues.
Here are some upcoming projects you may want to keep an eye on. All are up for review Nov. 16 by the city’s Community Appearance Board.
1. 360 apartment with amenities coming to Grande Dunes area
Local firm Development Resource Group is looking to construct 360 apartments in nine buildings west of Robert M. Grissom Parkway to include a half dozen garages, a pool, pickleball court and clubhouse.
The 13.6-acre parcel is currently owned by Grande Dunes Marina Land, according to Horry County property records.
DRG is asking the city’s appearance board for a final review of the project. No information was immediately available on price points for the apartments, but bringing more affordable housing into the city is a top priority for Mayor Brenda Bethune and other officials.
Earlier this year, Bethune urged lawmakers not to toss an annual cap on tax credits for housing development projects, warning that it could slow investment.
Habitat for Humanity of Horry County in February unveiling findings of a housing affordability study, concluding Myrtle Beach should support the construction of at least 567 new housing units annually — 250 rental properties and 317 homes.
2. Broadway at the Beach continues to grow
The shopping and dining mecca is adding four new structures totaling 9,980 square feet to its new Key West Village concept, with space for retail and storage. Located off Celebrity Circle, the area is anchored by The Hangout as redevelopment on the southeast corner of the complex continues.
The area once contained the AMC Classic Broadway 16 movie theater, Dragon’s Lair Fantasy Mini-Golf, Pavilion Park East and MagiQuest. They were all demolished by late 2019.
3. This Market Common restaurant is going mobile
1229 Shine, an oyster bar in Market Common that opened in February, wants to add a pair of food trucks and commission an art installation.
Collected, the restaurant group which owns 1229 Shine, retrofitted a former U.S. Air Force facility built in 1970, investing more than $850,000. Located near the Tidal Creek Brewhouse, 1229 Shine is located in a part of Market Common where development remains sparse.
Collected also owns Market Common’s Co Sushi.
4. Why is this gentleman’s club expanding?
