No it wont. Unless a new home is found for the dredged waste and a bridge is built from Lorelei to Drum, which isn't going to happen as it will disruptive to port traffic, and likely unnecessarily costly.

And so?
Most of Charleston peninsular is made land. And so is the land where this development is planned.
Hog Island (now Patriots Island) is 'all' dredged materials.
As for it being an island is minor. (ex): James, John's, Daniel, Isle of Palms, Sullivan's and many many more.
Seeing as how the money seems to be right enough to develope brownfield sites and former garbage dumps, when is it supposed to be right enough to rehab those old derelict houses downtown?

When people decide they want to grossly overspend on a beat up house that could easily turn into an even more expensive rehab due to a BAR that would likely prevent the house from being torn down completely.
I feel as though the cost to buy a derelict house and then rehab it is prohibitively expensive due to the value of the land the house sits on and the fact that the BAR's input could drive up material cost, so people end up spending over 750k for a smallish 3 bed 2 bath house in an area that floods.

Oh yeah, it's ridiculous. The BAR may have once served a purpose, saving things that are actually historic but they fail to see the difference between historic and merely old with no true significance. Now they are nothing more than interference.

Matthew took out this house on Spring St thats been abandoned since at least 2003.
It wasn't allowed to be torn down because apparently the roof didnt leak and it was boarded up, but it was an obvious derelict that was just sitting there to rot. I agree, old doesn't equal historic.
The first ever McDonalds, built in 1953 is historic. A standard McDonalds built in 1954 is not. It's just old.

I'm ok with the house being prohibited from being torn down. People are already paying $750k for smallish houses on the Penninsula. I just want to know what market all these property owners are waiting for.

Well yes but those areas aren't currently used to deposit dredged materials. Drum Island is still used for that. Looking on google maps it seems that the northern and southern tips aren't used for storing dredged material but that's not worth the cost needed to actually get on the island.
