What we are seeing
Charleston Pulse.
Public permits, programmed roads, market medians, and announced projects on one map. Patterns we track across the Lowcountry, not verified predictions. Toggle layers, scrub through time, and see where capital is clustering before you commit. For statewide data centers and corridor projects outside the metro, see SC Pulse.
How to use it
See the pattern before you buy.
Charleston keeps changing: permits filed, roads programmed, medians shifting, megaprojects announced. Pulse layers public data so you can read where growth is heading. Not as a guarantee, but as a research starting point. Click empty map for a parcel summary; tap any dot for detail.
Verified layers: filed permits, live FEMA flood zones, school locations, and SCDOT 2025 AADT count stations. Observed: area medians, programmed road projects, employer anchors. Projected: outer-ring proposals. Counts and vintages load with the map. Verify anything material independently before acting.
