Live in a landmark.Boutique historic apartments in downtown Chester, SC
Studios, one- and two-bedroom residences inside a restored 1924 department store on Gadsden Street.
A department store, restored for living.
For a century, 140 Gadsden has anchored downtown Chester’s retail district. Kuester Commercial has preserved its brick, its volume and its character, and built eleven modern apartments inside.
Every floor plan follows the building’s historic walls, so no two residences are the same. Downtown’s restaurants and shops are a short walk from the front door.

Restored by the team that brought back downtown Fort Mill
Kuester Commercial has been developing, leasing and managing property in the Carolinas since 1975. Our adaptive reuse projects on Main Street in Fort Mill turned tired storefronts into places people line up for.
We’re bringing the same care to downtown Chester, and we manage 140 Gadsden ourselves, so residents work with the people who restored the building.
