Shelter Cove Towne Centre

Hilton Head, South Carolina
Once a traditional mall, Shelter Cove Towne Centre was redesigned as Hilton Head Island’s vibrant town center, blending upscale shopping, waterfront living, and community life, making it a destination drawing locals and visitors alike.

Shelter Cove Towne Centre is a 42-acre redevelopment featuring over 270,000 square feet of retail space, 240 luxury waterfront apartments, and a seven-acre linear park. Originally an enclosed single-level mall with three anchor tenants, the site was transformed into a vibrant mixed-use development. It now boasts an array of shops, restaurants, and residences, all overlooking Broad Creek on Hilton Head Island and connecting a public walkway to other neighborhoods.

Redesigned to resemble a southern fishing village, Shelter Cove Towne Centre offers a unique, upscale shopping experience in a park-like setting. This revitalized destination caters to both the island’s residents and the 2.5 million annual visitors. The building palette pays homage to Hilton Head’s heritage with indigenous colors and materials to create a distinctive, inviting atmosphere. At the geographical center of the island, this mixed-use project has evolved into the island “town center,” and its park regularly hosts community events.
