Citadel Mall being Re-developed into Epic Center

The city of Charleston’s Design Review Board approved guidelines for a proposed overhaul of Citadel Mall into the mixed-use “Epic Center” concept with greenspace, entertainment, retail and housing.

When transformed, the Epic Center project could have more than 4 million square feet of mixed uses, including offices, medical facilities, meeting spaces, residences, restaurants and a world-class sports facility, according to Citadel Mall’s lead investor Richard Davis.

Futuristic plans show large-scale development around the mall with multistory buildings and a mix of uses. The development is projected to begin in 2025.
