Roper to break ground on new North Charleston hospital campus

On June 11, 2025, construction officially commenced on a $1.2 billion hospital campus in North Charleston developed by Roper St. Francis Healthcare.
The project responds to North Charleston’s rapid 3.5% population growth, adding 4,265 residents from July 2024 to 2025 and rising hospital demand.
The new 27-acre campus near City Hall will centralize services, feature 1.5 million square feet, and includes a 24-hour emergency department and outpatient facilities.
Officials expect construction to create 3,600 jobs and generate a $2.5 billion economic impact, with the full hospital opening planned for June 2029.
The hospital aims to meet growing healthcare needs and broaden access per the 2030 Strategic Plan, with staff transitioning and simulations scheduled for early 2029.
