1. What is the James Doran Company?
James Doran Company, established in 1882, is a real estate investment and development company based in Charleston, S.C. Currently focusing on upscale, mixed-use town center developments throughout the Southeast, JDC specializes in projects that beautifully incorporate retail, office, residential and leisure venues into "new urban village" neighborhood environments.
2. What type of development does the company specialize in?
James Doran Company gained recognition throughout the Southeast by developing “grocery-anchored” and “power-center developments”- properties dominated either by a grocery store anchor or three or more generally freestanding, larger retail anchors. Seeing the opportunity with mixed-use town centers (combining office, retail and residential uses), company leadership decided to expand focus and concentrate on this concept of “new urbanism”.
The JDC master town center plan includes upscale residential neighborhoods alongside a vibrant marketplace – creating a safe environment in scale with the surrounding community where people love to live and retailers thrive. Shopping, dining, entertainment, pedestrian-friendly streets, intimate green spaces, convenient work environments and charming homes all combine into a neighborhood where you can live life at its finest.
3. What constitutes the past and current JDC portfolio?
JDC has developed more than 3,500,000 square feet of power-center and grocery-anchored retail projects and office space, with projects in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee and Florida. The current JDC portfolio includes 350,000 square feet of operating retail and office space with another 1.3 million square feet in development. Approximately 1,000 residential units, including town homes, condos, apartments and homes, are also in the development stage.
Current projects are located in:
- Midlothian Town Center, Richmond, VA (35-acres)
- Winter Springs Town Center, Winter Springs, FL (63-acres)
- Northshore Town Center, Knoxville, TN (155-acres)
- Downtown Daniel Island, Charleston, SC
- International Festival, Orlando, FL
4. Who are the company's top executives and staff?
Under the leadership of chief executive officer Robert J. Doran, Jr. (the great grandson of company founder James Doran) and Robert’s son and company president, Shane J. Doran, the James Doran Company staff consists of highly skilled professionals with experience in development, leasing, marketing, operations and asset disposition. JDC partners with industry professionals throughout the Southeast, including attorneys, architects, engineers, lenders, leasing agents and contractors.
5. Where is James Doran Company located?
The corporate office is located at 216 Seven Farms Drive in Downtown Daniel Island. Downtown Daniel Island is a 10-acre, mixed-use project in the affluent coastal community of Daniel Island, just outside Charleston, SC.
6. What is the history behind James Doran Company?
Founded as a shipping company in the late 1800s by James Doran, a second generation Charlestonian, James Doran Company became one of the largest shipping companies in Charleston by the turn of the century. Recognizing growth opportunities and the value of diversification, the company quickly expanded into real estate and the family legacy continued throughout the 20th Century.
Moving into the 21st Century, James Doran Company is one of the Southeast's most notable mixed-use developers, using financial expertise complemented by commercial and residential development experience.
7. How does the James Doran Company choose its parcels?
James Doran Company completes extensive research in every market to help ensure development success, looking for key growth areas in the Southeast. Focusing on building strategy, functionality and style into every project, JDC strives to efficiently integrate key lifestyle elements and add a cosmopolitan feel to the design of public and private spaces.
8. How is the James Doran Company working to combat urban sprawl?
The goal of JDC mixed-use developments is to enhance the communities where they are located, improving the quality of life for the residents who live and work within and around them. In conceptualizing, designing, building, marketing and managing these neo-traditional communities, JDC growth strategies support regional planning for open space, reducing urban sprawl, decreasing traffic congestion and the balanced development of jobs and housing.
Each of James Doran Company's developments has a dense, compact design, with condominiums and office space above retail space, with hidden parking areas off of the street.
