The Ames multifamily community in Downtown Nexton, the urban-inspired mixed-use community serving the residents in Nexton and the surrounding region, is now leasing. Developed by Charleston-based Woodfield Development, the community is nearing completion.

“Woodfield’s history as a development company is deeply rooted in the Carolinas,” said Mike Schwarz, partner at Woodfield Development. “As longtime Charleston residents, the Nexton community is our backyard, and we are deeply invested in its overarching vision for the Summerville community and are honored to play a part. As developers, we aim to deliver a product that brings immense value to our residents and truly enriches their lives. As a result of thoughtful design in collaboration with our local partners, the interior finishes and amenity offerings at The Ames do just that. We are excited about the role The Ames will play in the future of Downtown Nexton and thrilled to present this unparalleled living experience to our residents.”
