Noisette is a 3,000-acre section of North Charleston, South Carolina. The Noisette Company is committed to revitalizing and restoring this section of the community while maintaining the belief that cities must be responsive to social needs, environmental responsibility, and economic vitality. Building 7 is a renovated multi-story office building located on the grounds of the former North Charleston Navy Yard. Keeping with the Company’s philosophy, Building 7 was renovated with sustainability in mind.
