Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center

Constructing the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center required significant coordination. Three local governments and a school district had a financial stake in the project. The University of South Carolina was also involved in the land assemblage.

Nexsen Pruet attorneys entered at the conceptual stage to aid a citizens group obtain funding for the project. We provided comprehensive project services including creating an intergovernmental organization, arranging for extremely favorable tax-free financing, completing a very complex land acquisition, designing innovative construction procedures and assisting with a myriad of contractual matters.

The 2004 grand opening of the Convention Center was the first of many successful events at this 142,500 square foot, $40,000,000 facility.

Nexsen Pruet is committed to building success for the Columbia Convention Center and was proud to be part of the team.
