Saluda Riverwalk, perfectly positioned in Columbia’s vibrant riverfront corridor. This 4.75-acre site, divisible into parcels of at least 1.5 acres perpendicular to the Saluda River, offers 715 feet of river frontage and 572 feet of frontage on Candi Lane, a city-maintained road ensuring easy access without DOT complexities. With direct visibility from Interstate 126—carrying ~58,000 vehicles daily—this property is a prime canvas for retail, hospitality, or mixed-use development.
Nestled beside the Saluda Riverwalk Park, a 3-mile paved trail within the 15.5-mile Three Rivers Greenway, the property includes a 30-foot easement hosting over 400 daily walkers and thousands on weekends. Sharing an I-126 exit with Riverbanks Zoo & Garden, South Carolina’s top tourist destination with 1 million annual visitors, this site thrives on unparalleled foot and vehicle traffic. Planned expansions, including bridges to West Columbia and Columbia’s Riverfront Park and an 8.5-mile greenway extension to Lake Murray Dam by 2029, cement this parcel as the centerpiece of a booming recreational and economic hub.
Zoned C2 Commercial with no known restrictions, the property supports diverse uses, from retail and dining to offices and entertainment. City sewer on the low side eliminates the need for sewage lift stations, and an 8" water line runs to the property’s center, streamlining development. An ALTA survey, detailing topography and utilities, confirms no existing structures, offering a clean slate for your vision.
