SPA approves Port Royal deal: Buyer not disclosed; OK from state still needed
Seven years after former Gov. Mark Sanford ordered the State Ports
Authority to shut down and sell its Port Royal Terminal property, the SPA
is making a third attempt to close a deal there.
The SPA board of directors has approved an agreement to sell the 51 acres
of high ground on deep water, along with a larger swath of marsh, for $17
million to an as-yet undisclosed buyer. State approval also is required.
Port Royal town officials are hopeful that this time the deal will go
through, because the town has been anxiously awaiting redevelopment of the
site.
A development agreement previously approved with the town envisions a
marina, hospitality businesses such as restaurants and hotels, seafood
operations and a park. A restaurant and shrimp operation currently use the
site.
"We hope it would kind of revitalize Port Royal," said Mayor Samuel Murray,
who attended an SPA board meeting Tuesday in which the sale agreement was
unanimously approved.
"A lot of merchants have been just kind of holding on, waiting to see what
happens," Murray said.
The purchase price is similar to that in a previous offer that fell through
in January, in which Charleston-based Gramling Brothers Real Estate &
Development offered $16.75 million for the land.
That deal failed partly because of concerns about getting clear title to
some small parcels within the property.
That deal had narrowly received approval in 2010 from the state Budget and
Control Board, with Sanford opposing the plan for several reasons,
including the developer's reluctance to create a 10-acre park that Sanford
long advocated at the site.
The Gramling Brothers' bid was nearly $10 million below that of a previous
deal that unraveled in 2008 as the real estate market soured, but the
Gramling Brothers' offer and the current one still came in above the
appraised value of between $15.6 million and $16.3 million, calculated in
late 2009.
Net proceeds from the sale would be retained by the Ports Authority for
capital projects. The town, according to Port Royal Town Manager Van
Willis, would get 5 percent of the net proceeds or $250,000, whichever is
higher.
Willis said Tuesday he is hopeful that this deal will go through, because
of the economic development potential. He said the town is less excited
about the proposed park, saying that idea was "rammed down our throats."
Willis said the development agreement for the site expires next year. In
other cases with delayed plans, such as the Carolina Park development in
Mount Pleasant, developers have sought to revise and extend development
agreements after gaining control of the land.
South Carolina's Freedom of Information law allows, but does not require,
governments to withhold information about real estate deals until a deed
has been executed.
The Budget and Control Board is expected to consider the Port Royal deal on
Aug. 9.
