Park Cities Self Storage - New Facility of the Year Nomination
CC&T Company Overview
1. Founded in 1993, Clement, Crawford & Thornhill (CC&T) has established itself as a major player in
the Charleston development arena. CC&T offers seasoned expertise in mixed-use urban
redevelopment projects including hospitality, multi-family, office and retail centers.
Focusing on urban development is the cornerstone of CC&T’s platform. The high barriers to entry in
an urban context, result in the need for close coordination with political, neighborhood, historical
and environmental groups. Those hurdles, as well as the complexity of developing in an urban
arena, keep things interesting.
CC&T’s development projects have not only helped the company build a list of high profile clients
and investors, but also demonstrate its ability to successfully plan, manage and complete multiple
projects of varying uses and sizes. A significant number of these developments are urban infill
projects requiring extensive environmental remediation to return them to profitable use.
Additionally, CC&T brings extensive brownfield site development experience to the partnership. In
the last 25 years, CC&T and its principals have remediated over 70 contaminated sites including sites
on the National Priority List and CERCLA sites.

2. MIDTOWN DEVELOPMENT
CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA
Located in the heart of Charleston’s historic district, Midtown is a 4.3 acre Midtown
site that was assembled by CC&T with five different tracts of land and over 70
property owners.
The project was developed in two phases, the first phase was a 220 unit Class A
multi-family project that is now open, known as Elan Midtown. CC&T entitled the
property and sold the project to Greystar, who then constructed the improvements.
Phase II is currently under construction and includes a 304 room dually branded Hyatt
Place and Hyatt House, a 405 space parking, and 37,000 square feet of commercial
space.
This project involved a public-private partnership with the City of Charleston to
construct a deck that will be owned by the City. The City wanted more parking
spaces for this area than were required for the development, so CC&T worked to
build a deck that was larger than would have been required and the City agreed to
buy the deck upon completion.
Completion will be in July 2015.
3. 385 MEETING STREET-
CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA

series of multi-family and commercial projects.
The project involved a public-private partnership with the City of Charleston to attract
BellSouth to Downtown Charleston and to build a parking deck adjacent to the property
to serve the office users and create more parking in the area. The City retained
ownership of the parking deck.
