Camp Hall, Avian Commons Master Plan
The Avian Commons Master Plan establishes a 130-acre mixed-use center at the heart of Camp Hall in Ridgeville, South Carolina. Developed for Santee Cooper, the plan supports the industrial park’s employers and workforce with services, amenities, and opportunities for recreation.
The urban master plan responds to an important shift in industrial development. Premier employment centers need more than available land and infrastructure. They also need environments that help businesses recruit, retain., and support their employees.
Supporting Camp Hall’s Industrial Workforce
Avian Commons brings essential services closer to the people working throughout Camp Hall. Early development includes a fuel station, childcare center, fire station, and food truck court.
These resources make daily life more convenient while strengthening workforce stability. They also give employers access to amenities that can support recruitment, retention, and long-term operational success.
Future retail, office, and flexible-use buildings will accommodate shops, professional services, creative workspaces, and light industrial users. Their arrangement encourages pedestrian activity while allowing the district to evolve alongside Camp Hall.
Connecting People, Nature, and Productivity
A playground, sports field, trails, and two ponds give employees and visitors opportunities to gather, exercise, and recharge outdoors. By integrating recreation and nature into the plan, Avian Commons supports wellbeing and creates a more welcoming place to work.
A connected grid links amenities throughout Avian Commons while interconnecting the trail network and preserving views of wetlands and ponds. A playground and sports field provide more opportunities for employees and visitors to gather, exercise, and recharge outdoors. Together, these features support wellbeing and establishes an identity that extends beyond a traditional industrial park.
This people-centered approach contributes to Camp Hall’s position as a competitive destination for industrial development. In 2025, Business Facilities ranked Camp Hall the #1 industrial park in the United States.
By combining infrastructure with workforce support and quality-of-life amenities, Avian Commons demonstrates how thoughtful master planning can strengthen a major industrial development.
