The BullStreet District - Columbia, SC
One of South Carolina’s most visible Brownfields success stories is the BullStreet District in Columbia.
Once home to the South Carolina State Hospital campus, the 181-acre site sat largely underutilized for years. Through coordinated planning, environmental assessment, and phased redevelopment, the property has been transformed into a vibrant mixed-use district.
Today, BullStreet includes:
- Segra Park, home of the Columbia Fireflies
- The Laundry event space
- Residential apartments and townhomes
- Office space and local businesses
- Restaurants and retail
- Public gathering areas and green space
Environmental investigation and cleanup were critical steps in preparing the site for safe, modern use. The redevelopment preserved historic structures while positioning BullStreet as a destination for living, working, and entertainment.
What’s Next for BullStreet?
Development continues with additional residential units, commercial space, hospitality opportunities, and community-centered amenities planned.
BullStreet remains a model for how strategic Brownfields redevelopment can:
- Stimulate long-term economic growth
- Increase the local tax base
- Eliminate environmental hazards
- Preserve community history
- Create vibrant, walkable neighborhoods
