The Beaufort Gazette: Building boom continues
County sees spike in condos
In a week, Malcolm and Susan Goodridge will start making 2,400 square feet of marshside space their own, moving into a first-floor condominium and finding ways to fill the three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms that now sit empty and dusty from construction.
Their new home, one of 25 being finished on Ribaut Island in Battery Creek, marks the beginnings of Beaufort’s condo-building boom, with developers plotting the construction of hundreds of new condos in the next two years — all near the water.
