First Homeowner Settling In At BullStreet District
Claims Place In ‘TownPark at BullStreet’
Columbia, S.C. – The largest urban redevelopment project on the East Coast, The BullStreet District, continues to grow with the addition of a new tenant: its first, private homeowner. The Moore Company, a Columbia-based boutique real estate firm, announced the closing ahead of an open house scheduled for September 16th.
“This is a watershed moment in the history of the BullStreet District and Columbia as a whole,” said Moore Company owner Graeme Moore. “We’ve been building toward this moment for several years, and it’s exciting to see BullStreet really start to gain momentum.”
Stephanie Carnohan, a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, says she was drawn to the development from the minute she saw the plans.
“I’ve been looking for a place downtown; new construction, with a garage, and this place checked all the boxes,” Carnohan said. “When I saw the plans and amenities, I knew it was something I’d be interested in. This space is amazing.”
Situated on the BullStreet District’s southern side, Carnohan’s new home is the first of 28 that will eventually enclose a private park. Named ‘TownPark at BullStreet,’ the mix of two- and three-story buildings will feature a classic-meets-modern aesthetic, with brick exteriors and contemporary, high-end finishes. Carnohan says the District already offers great amenities.
“We’ve loved walking the dogs down to the pond, eating at Bone-In Barbeque, seeing baseball games, watching fireworks off the deck,” Carnohan said. “You can’t beat the location. I’m close to the Vista, Five Points, Main Street. It’s all within 5 minutes.”
Carnohan’s arrival coincides with a series of development news at BullStreet, including the expansion of global technology company Capgemini, which recently announced a multimillion-dollar expansion that will create 200 high-tech jobs in the burgeoning district. The site is already home to Spirit Communications Park and the Columbia Fireflies. Carnohan looks forward to seeing progress continue.
“It’s going to be fun watching the whole area grow,” Carnohan said. “I can’t wait to have some new neighbors!”
The Moore Company will hold an open house at TownPark on September 16th from 1:30 – 4:00. For more information, visit TheMooreCompany.com/BullStreet.
Capgemini helps to shape workforce of the future with opening of advanced technology and development center in Columbia, S.C.
Hundreds of high-value jobs will be created to meet demand from global clients
to help drive digital transformation and innovation within their organizations
New York, August 23, 2018 – Capgemini will expand its operations in Columbia, S.C. with the opening of an advanced technology and development center. A leader in consulting, technology services and digital transformation, Capgemini’s multi-million-dollar investment is projected to create hundreds of jobs in high-value and fast-growing technology areas including industry 4.0, digital strategy, cloud, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, customer experience innovation and other emerging technologies.
The expansion in Columbia is part of Capgemini’s worldwide, connected network of advanced technology and development centers where diverse teams of industry-leading innovators develop and implement new technology and digital experiences for its clients. This move aligns with Capgemini’s growing investments in the future of work by recruiting and developing top talent who collaborate in a highly connected network.
“We’re excited to lead the growth of emerging and digital technologies in Columbia and the region,” said Paul Naquin, Executive Vice President, Capgemini. “This center will be a place where Capgemini will partner with clients to develop and deploy technology that will radically change how they do business. This center would not have been possible without the tremendous support we’ve enjoyed from stakeholders and partners across the region, including Gov. Henry McMaster, Secretary of Commerce Bobby Hitt, University of South Carolina President Harris Pastides, Representative James Smith, Columbia Mayor Steve Benjamin, Richland County Council Chair Joyce Dickerson and many others.”
“BullStreet continues to thrive. We’re thrilled to welcome the Capgemini expansion to the BullStreet District. Their creation of new jobs in application and cloud development in the quickly-developing First Base Building confirms that Spirit Communications Park complex isn’t just a ballpark, but a true ‘live, work, play’ destination for a new generation of talented and educated I.T. leaders,” said Columbia Mayor, Steve Benjamin.
“From leading-edge research projects to internship and pipeline programs for talented students, the relationship we’re establishing with Capgemini is a great example of how universities and private industries can work together toward a common purpose. These partnerships are also beneficial to the local economy because they help create and retain high-value jobs right here in the Midlands,” said University of South Carolina President, Harris Pastides.
“Capgemini’s decision to locate this state-of-the-art technology center in Richland County is a huge stride in our community’s efforts to create knowledge economy career opportunities and retain talented young people,” said Richland County Council Chair, Joyce Dickerson.
In February 2017 Capgemini acquired Columbia-based insurance IT services firm TCube Solutions, Inc. serving insurance clients, and opened a new office in December 2017 in the First Base Building at Spirit Communications Park in the BullStreet District. BullStreet is a 20-year, 181-acre project to transform the historic S.C. State Hospital site into a vibrant, mixed-use neighborhood district in downtown Columbia, S.C., and it is known as the largest urban redevelopment project on the East Coast.

The first 5 of 28 town homes are moving right along! Two are already under contract!
After months of planning and architectural review, Columbia’s newest townhome project is off the ground and under construction. Coined TownPark at BullStreet, the development will consist of 28 all-brick townhomes each with its own garage and rooftop deck, as well as a private park.
Construction began in early 2018, and the first five townhouses should be completed by June 2018. Building “C” will be the first three-story building to be erected and will feature upgrade options like elevators and integrated media plans.
TownPark is the first for-sale residential project at BullStreet, Columbia’s largest urban redevelopment community conveniently located within one mile of the S.C. State House and USC.
The 28 town homes for sale will consist of two- and three-story floor plans with prices starting in the 350’s. The aesthetic is classic-meets-modern with a brick exterior and contemporary higher-end finishes. More information can be found at www.TheMooreCompany.com/BullStreet.
“The Columbia area is experiencing a strong residential real estate market with low inventory,” says Graeme Moore, owner of The Moore Company. “Along with The Terranova Group and Hughes Development, we have created a new product in-town where demand is high and supply is low. There is strong need for new, updated housing, and TownPark at BullStreet will help to fill the void.”
“More than ever, people want to live in a walkable, urban environment where restaurants, shopping and entertainment are a short walk away,” says Moore. “As BullStreet develops, there won’t be a better place to enjoy in-town living.”
The Terranova Group, a Greenville, S.C.-based housing developer with extensive experience in residential development, chose The Moore Company to be the exclusive listing and marketing agency for TownPark at BullStreet.
An entirely new downtown district conveniently located within one mile of I-126 and I-277, the 181-acre BullStreet neighborhood is home to Spirit Communications Park, awarded 2016 Ballpark of the Year by BallPark Digest and home to the Columbia Fireflies Minor League Baseball team (and new celebrity team member Tim Tebow). A perk for nearby residents and workers, the ballpark is open from 7am to dark each day as a public park with a 1/3-mile walking track around the concourse. Runners make the park a regular stop, and cross-fitters are often seen running the stairs in the stands for exercise.
The BullStreet community also includes the First Base Building office/retail complex, the largest private office building built in Columbia since 2009. The First Base Building is home to a Founders Federal Credit Union branch and ATM; TCube Solutions, a member of Capgemini Group with hundreds of insurance technology consulting employees moving in later this year; as well as Ogletree Deakins law firm, who coordinates weekly visits from the Midlands’ favorite food trucks, open to the public.
Historic renovations have been completed at the Parker Annex office building as well as the new Bakery at BullStreet building in the growing BullStreet Technology Village, home to the SOCO cowork and event space, where young professionals and innovators enjoy shared office space and social gatherings. Renovations are underway at the historic Ensor Building, where a restaurant and office will locate, and the Central Energy Facility will be the future home of the eclectic, energetic congregation of Downtown Church.
