repair shop would remain, for now, on
a short-term lease.
The same is true for the tenants
in Peach Orchard Plaza, where
Gramling’s partner is Rusty Bennett.
Harper said they all are on leases of
five years or shorter.
According to Harper, Gramling
Brothers currently is working on “six
to 10” commercial ventures in the
Charleston area, including two hotels
and an office building downtown, a
shopping center in West Ashley and
projects on Savannah Highway, Folly
Road and Main Street in Summerville.
Gramling made his original mark
in the Lowcountry in residential
construction, developing Cane Bay
Plantation, a 4,500-acre master-
planned community in Berkeley
County consisting of several distinct
neighborhoods that eventually will
be home to around 7,500 families.
Gramling Brothers donated the land
for Cane Bay’s elementary, middle and
high schools.
Gramling Brothers also developed
Reverie on the Ashley, a condominium
community on the Ashley River;
and Arbor Oaks, Summerhaven
and Summer Park, all located in
Summerville.
About six to eight years ago,
according to Gramling, the company
expanded its focus and started looking
at the commercial side of Lowcountry
real estate. The company’s penchant
for “creating comfortable, safe,
convenient and beautiful communities
that people can proudly call home,”
according to its website, apparently has
carried over to its commercial projects.
“I’m inspired by Ben’s passion for
what he does,” said Kelly Seger, who
has served as Gramling Brothers’
director of marketing since 2009. “He
thinks about things from every angle.
He does what’s best for all involved.
It’s great to work with someone who
cares so much about what he does.”
Harper, like Gramling, a Charleston
resident, echoed her sentiments.
“We live here. He can’t run and
hide from something we’re responsible
for. We intend to be proud of whatever
we build,” he commented.
Gramling Brothers Vice President Mikell Harper has been with the company since 2007.
