Nestled on the northern edge of Concord Street in historic downtown Charleston, South Carolina, Dockside stands as one of
only two true waterfront high-rise condominium developments on the peninsula. Originally established in 1976, the primary nineteen-story building predominantly features luxurious one, two, and three-bedroom residences boasting exceptional views.
This gated community provides an array of upscale amenities, including a recently renovated indoor heated pool, a sun deck, a fitness center, and a library. Residents also benefit from covered, deeded parking, a social lounge, elevators, on-site management, a secure gate, trash pickup, and a pier with a floating dock. For any inquiries, the on-site property management can be reached at 843-577-0050.
Dockside operates as an HOA community with monthly regime fees ranging from $750 to $1450. These fees encompass the maintenance of the exterior, all amenities, common areas, HOA insurance, security, property management services, trash pickup, sewer, and water.
Beyond the high-rise, Dockside also includes townhouses, primarily built around 1981, offering two and three-bedroom floor plans. However, the majority of residences are situated within the iconic nineteen-story tower, providing unobstructed vistas of the Ravenel Bridge, the Cooper and Ashley Rivers, Aquarium Wharf, or the charming downtown Charleston skyline, depending on the unit's location. While the high-rise itself dates back to 1977, recent renovations in 2010 and again in 2024 have enhanced the lobby, library, landscaping, common area hard scapes, and indoor pool. Additional features for all residents include a dock equipped with water and electricity, a fitness facility, covered parking, a club room available for private events, and round-the-clock security.
Dockside's prime location places it adjacent to the South Carolina Aquarium and the departure point for the Fort Sumter Boat Tour and Museum, offering residents unparalleled access to some of Charleston's most notable attractions.

The Ugly Truth About Dockside Condos (For Now)
Dockside Condominiums in Charleston, SC, experienced a mandatory evacuation in February 2025 due to serious structural concerns, drawing parallels to the 2021 Champlain Towers South collapse in Florida. An engineering firm identified potential risks of concrete columns failing, prompting the city to order the evacuation of residents from the 19-story building and adjacent townhomes.
The evacuation left many residents displaced and facing uncertainty. They were initially given very little time to leave, taking only essential belongings. The HOA has since organized a move-out plan, but residents are dealing with housing insecurity and financial burdens, including continued HOA fees and moving expenses.
The future for owners remains unclear. Investigations are ongoing to determine the extent of the structural damage and whether the building can be repaired or if demolition is necessary. Legal action is expected, with law firms investigating potential mismanagement and maintenance failures that may have led to the evacuation. The city of Charleston is working with engineers to assess the building's safety, but the timeline for residents returning to their homes is unknown.
