West Columbia is buzzing with excitement as the long-awaited Brookland and 4 West community has officially opened its doors! After years of planning and hard work, this vibrant urban mixed-use development in the heart of the River District is now a reality. What was once just a vision is now a thriving hub, and it’s hard not to feel the energy as we explore what this area has to offer.
A New Landmark for West Columbia
The grand finale of this ambitious project is marked by the opening of LS3P, an acclaimed architectural firm that has set up shop in a spacious new office that spans over 11,000 square feet. Located in the stunning area of 4 West, LS3P has designed their office to blend seamlessly with its surroundings, featuring a private outdoor terrace that boasts breathtaking views of the skyline and the river. It’s not just a workplace, but a sleek and modern environment that will soon accommodate over 35 employees, making it a wonderful addition to the Brookland and 4 West community.
Mayor’s Honorable Words
During the opening ceremony, West Columbia Mayor Tem Miles shared his enthusiasm for LS3P’s new presence in the area. He expressed, “I am excited LS3P has made its home in the beautiful 4 West section of the Brookland Development. This wonderful addition to our business community completes a multi-year project between Estates and Companies and the City of West Columbia.” His words highlight the transformative journey this project has undertaken, aiming to enhance the region’s appeal.
Community Rich in Lifestyle and Convenience
The Brookland and 4 West community does not just include LS3P. It features an impressive array of 256 upscale apartment homes and various commercial tenants that provide a unique blend of lifestyle options and convenience. Residents and visitors will find a delightful range of businesses to explore, including popular spots like Black Rooster, Select Physical Therapy, The WRKT, Gentlemen’s Quarters Barbershop, and Another Broken Egg Cafe – all contributing to the vibrant atmosphere.
Testament to Growth and Synergy

A Public/Private Partnership Built to Last
These exciting developments are the result of an effective partnership between the City of West Columbia and private entities, showcasing what can be achieved when collective efforts are put into action for the betterment of the community. Mary Beth Branham from LS3P remarks on the joy of their new location, “We are so excited to be in our new location at 4 West with a dynamic indoor work environment.” This enthusiasm is palpable, as the location not only offers a workspace but enriches the team’s access to the riverfront and local dining options.
