Designed to be admired.
An office building so well made that Charleston's preservationists and South Carolina's architects both honored it. That doesn't happen often.
Built with intent, not just to spec.
Most of the market is glass boxes. The Morris is something the Upper Peninsula hasn't had: Class A space with real architectural conviction. Sixteen-foot ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling curtain wall flood every floor with light. A wood-soffit canopy softens the entrance. And at the center, a landscaped courtyard wraps the live oak the building was designed to keep — the kind of gesture that gives a building back to the street.

South Carolina's first WELL Core Certified building.
The Morris is built to the WELL standard, a certification that measures a building by the people inside it: the air they breathe, the water they drink, the light they work in, and the comfort of the space around them. It's the difference a tenant feels by four o'clock.

A Carolopolis Award for design.
The Preservation Society of Charleston gives the Carolopolis Award to buildings that strengthen the architectural character of the city. The Morris earned one — rare for new construction, and proof that a modern office can still belong to Charleston.
