Most anticipated developments coming to Cola in 2021

We are ~4 weeks into 2021 (even if it’s felt like months), and with a New Year comes new projects, plans, and additions to our ever-changing skyline. And, after the year we just had, it’s no surprise that Columbia is jonesin’ for something new to look forward to –– development-wise, that is.

Here’s an update on what’s coming to Columbia in 2021: 

○ There are 5-6 retail + restaurant spaces being planned for the corner of Huger + Blossom St., formerly home to Columbia Antique Mall. The development’s anchor space (4,000-6,500 sqft.) is being envisioned as a restaurant with a rooftop bar (pictured above). 

○ Mark Anthony Brewing (read: the maker of White Claw, Mike’s Hard Lemonade + more) is developing a $400 million, 1 million+ sqft. brewing facility in the Pineview Industrial Park (off of Shop Road). Construction on the brewery – one of the largest built in the country in 25 years – is expected to be complete by summer 2021. More here.

○ Smoked is planned to open at 1643 Main St. this fall. The new restaurant and microbrewery is under the umbrella of developer Scott Middleton (which includes The Grand,  The Main Course + more, also on the 1600 block). We’ll have more on this soon. 👀
