Bennett opened his first hotel, the Hampton Inn on Meeting Street in downtown Charleston, on July 4, 1992. Thinking along the lines of building only the best, Bennett pointed out that the condominiums at Ferry Wharf “ought to be the finest residential building in the city, selling for $1,000 a square foot and up. In order to sell for that, it has to be a building of great quality.” Bennett launched his career in the hospitality business in 1977, renting bicycles and mopeds while he was still a junior in college. More than four decades later, big dreams and a blue-collar work ethic drive him to continue to build … and build … and build. What is the driving force behind his obsession with developing properties, specifically those in his native Lowcountry? “Why does the painter paint? Why does the musician play?” He answered the question with two more questions. “I love what I do. I just love it. I’d be lost if I weren’t doing it.” Photo by Tonya McGue.
