Meridian Building

SC PICTURE PROJECT 2 Comments

SC Picture Project / Richland County / Meridian Building

The 17-story Meridian Building dominates the Columbia skyline with its modern style while its covered rooftop terrace offers spectacular views of the capital city. Built in 2004, it is located just three blocks from the South Carolina State House.

The sleek skyscraper includes offices and also features amenities such as a fitness center with fully-equipped locker rooms, a lobby bank, and a restaurant. The Meridian was the first high rise built in Columbia since the late 1980s. Below, the Meridian can be seen standing alongside other giants of the business district, including The Hub, an upscale apartment building for students attending the University of South Carolina.

      Hello! I’m Abby Boyd, the special events planner for Sigma Alpha Omega, a Christian service sorority at USC. We are having our spring formal during this semester, and we are curious if you building could be a possible venue? Thank you so much!

        Hey Abby! We are not directly affiliated with the Meridian Building but we did do a search online. Current tenants include the law firm of Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough, Ogletree Deakins, Fisher & Phillips, Morgan Stanley, Capital Bank, Grant Thornton, Delta Dental, Stephens and Ameriprise, etc. Perhaps you would be able to reach out to one of them to inquire further? Hope this helps!
