History
Originally owned by the Guggenheim family for over 90 years, Daniel Island remained largely undeveloped until the mid-1990s when the Daniel Island Company began its transformation into a master-planned community. Guided by a comprehensive development plan, the island evolved from a rural landscape into a sophisticated residential and commercial hub. Key milestones include the opening of the Daniel Island Club, the construction of Credit One Stadium (formerly Volvo Car Stadium), and the continuous expansion of its walkable downtown village, solidifying its reputation as one of Charleston's most desirable addresses.
