About Adesso

Adesso is a 110-unit condominium at 601 Main Street, Columbia, SC 29201, at the corner of Main and Blossom Streets. The association is the Adesso Homeowner's Association, operating the Adesso Horizontal Property Regime, and it is managed by William Douglas Management. The Rules describe lobby personnel on site 7 days a week, 24 hours a day (hours subject to change), and an on-site resident manager available Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

The same Rules describe a 24-hour access system for the lobby and parking garage entrances, a year-round (unheated) pool and amenity deck, a fitness center open 24 hours, a reservable club room, a freight elevator and loading dock, trash chutes on each floor, and deeded storage spaces treated as limited common elements.

What sets Adesso apart from the Lake Murray condo and townhome communities we cover is the downtown mid-rise setting, covered garage parking, and the mix of residential condos, street-level commercial space, and deeded storage in one regime. The association's public Rules do not itemize what the regime fee includes, so confirm which utilities and services (such as water, internet, and cable) are included for the specific unit. Total monthly cost depends on the unit's fee, any owner-paid utilities, and an HO-6 policy.

History and development

In February 2006, Holder Properties of Atlanta announced plans, in partnership with the USC Development Foundation, for a six-story development of condominiums and retail stores at the corner of Main and Blossom Streets, adjacent to the USC campus, according to the Columbia Star. The State reported in October 2009 that the 110-unit building was owned by Atlanta developer John Holder and USC's development foundation and was part of USC's Innovista research campus. A public marketing site for the building says it was completed in 2008, with 110 residential units and commercial space below.

Richland County public property records list the residential, commercial, and storage parcels as built in 2008, with legal descriptions in the Adesso Horizontal Property Regime. Most unit legal descriptions on the county cards carry the record reference RB1392-854. The county neighborhood name is ADDESSO CONDOS (with a double D); the legal regime name is Adesso.

Floors and unit numbers

Richland County records list 110 residential units with three-digit unit numbers in the 100s through 500s (for example, 517), with 22 units in each hundred series. The five 3-bedroom units in the county records are units 129, 229, 329, 429, and 529 — one in each series.

The same records include 2 commercial parcels in the regime (legal descriptions "COMMERCIAL 1" and "COMMERCIAL 2") and 68 deeded storage parcels numbered S1 through S68. We did not find a separately assessed association common-area parcel in the records we pulled.

County "stories" figures on individual condo cards are not consistent (some cards list 5.00, others 2.00), so this page does not treat that field as a building height. Holder Properties' 2006 announcement described a six-story development (Columbia Star). Confirm the floor and plan of the specific unit on its county card and in the listing.

Name and records check: county records use the neighborhood name ADDESSO CONDOS and legal descriptions such as Adesso Horizontal Property Regime (ADESSO HPR). This is the condominium at 601 Main Street in downtown Columbia, a different property from Senate Plaza at 1520 Senate Street and from other Columbia condominium buildings.

Homes for Sale in Adesso

Homes for sale in Adesso are condominium units in a single mid-rise building at 601 Main Street, Columbia, SC 29201. Richland County unit cards show 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom plans.

What usually separates one Adesso listing from another:

  • Floor level and which side of the building the unit faces
  • Size and plan type, from 1-bedroom to 3-bedroom plans
  • Updates versus original 2008 finishes
  • The unit's current regime fee
  • How many parking spaces are assigned to the unit, and whether a deeded storage space conveys with it

Before you write an offer, confirm the current regime fee for that unit, what it covers, the assigned parking, and whether storage is included.

Ask us for current listings and listing alerts. Public listing websites also show asking prices; treat those as portal displays, not MLS statistics.

Market Data as of November 10, 2026

Recorded Adesso sales of $50,000 or more ranged from $215,000 to $440,000 from January 1, 2024, through August 25, 2026 (the latest qualifying deed in Richland County records pulled November 10, 2026), across 39 recorded residential sales. These figures come from Richland County public property records, not MLS statistics, and they are a recorded range, not a median. Storage-parcel transfers and sales without a stated dollar amount were excluded. Some deeds also conveyed deeded storage spaces; the recorded price covers the whole deed. Deeds are recorded after closing, so the most recent closings may not appear in county records yet.

  • Recent recorded sales (prices of $50,000 or more; storage parcels and nominal or unstated deed amounts excluded):
  • 2026 (recorded through August 25): 10 sales, $346,800 to $435,000, including unit 517 at $435,000 (May 2026) and unit 215 at $346,800 (July 2026)
  • 2025: 16 sales, $215,000 to $440,000, including unit 429 at $440,000 (January 2025) and unit 505 at $215,000 (February 2025)
  • 2024: 13 sales, $215,000 to $436,000, including unit 129 at $436,000 (February 2024) and unit 204 at $215,000 (December 2024)
  • Comparing homes: Compare similar bedroom counts, square footage, floor level, view, and renovation level. A 1-bedroom, a mid-floor 2-bedroom, and a 3-bedroom plan are different products.
  • Total monthly cost: Compare Adesso with other homes on purchase price plus the unit's regime fee, utilities, property taxes, and an HO-6 policy, not on price or fee alone.

Types of Homes

Adesso homes are condominium units in one mid-rise building. Richland County unit cards show three bedroom counts:

  • 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom
  • 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom (one unit card, unit 117, lists 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom; confirm the bath count of the specific unit)
  • 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom

County unit cards we checked show 34 one-bedroom units at about 792 to 1,094 square feet; 71 two-bedroom units, most at about 1,233 to 1,587 square feet (one unit card, unit 412, lists a 2-bedroom unit at 792 square feet — confirm that card if you are considering that condo); and 5 three-bedroom, 3-bathroom units at 1,782 square feet (units 129, 229, 329, 429, and 529). Confirm the size of the specific unit; we can pull the county card for any unit you are considering.

A public marketing site and a January 2011 pricing sheet posted there use Italian city names for the floor plans: Siena and Genova (1 bedroom); Torino, Sorrento, Venezia, Milano, Firenze, and Portofino (2 bedrooms); and Roma (3 bedrooms). Use the county card and the seller's documents for the unit you are considering, not the marketing names alone.

The State's 2009 report and the marketing site describe original features including private balconies, 10-foot ceilings, hardwood and tile floors, granite countertops, walk-in closets, and stainless steel appliances. Individual units may have been updated since, so compare finishes unit by unit.

The association's Rules treat storage spaces as limited common elements deeded to a unit, and they treat parking spaces as assigned limited common elements. The Rules also limit what may be kept on balconies, decks, and patios: no objects over 42 inches in height other than outdoor patio furniture, planters, and flowers. Grilling is permitted only on the amenity deck, using the association's grills.

Renovation work goes through the association (see Buying a Home in Adesso below).

Neighborhood Amenities

Adesso's amenities include lobby staff, a year-round pool and amenity deck, a fitness center, a reservable club room, covered garage parking, a freight elevator and loading dock, trash chutes, and deeded storage, according to the association's Rules and Regulations. A public marketing site also lists an on-site building engineer and grilling stations on the amenity deck.

  • Lobby staff and access: The Rules say lobby personnel services are available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, with hours subject to change based on association requirements. An on-site resident manager is available Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The building is controlled by a security access system 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for lobby and parking garage entrances. Lost access fobs may be replaced for a $30 fee, per the Rules.
  • Pool and amenity deck: The amenity deck and pool area are open 7 days a week from 8:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. The Rules say the pool is open for swimming year-round and is not heated. Association grills on the amenity deck are first-come, first-served. The pool deck cannot be reserved exclusively; residents planning more than 8 guests at the pool need 72-hour advance approval, with a maximum of 25 guests.
  • Fitness center: Open 24 hours, 7 days a week for residents (except during equipment service). Overnight guests of residents may use it during their stay.
  • Club room: Residents can reserve it through property management with 72-hour notice, in 4-hour increments. Hours are 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 9:00 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday. Reservations require an Amenity Agreement, a $50 non-refundable fee, and a $200 refundable deposit, with a maximum of 25 guests. It cannot be reserved for Super Bowl Sunday, New Year's Eve, or major holidays.
  • Storage: Deeded storage spaces are limited common elements and may be used only by the owner or registered occupant of the unit to which the space is deeded. County records list 68 storage parcels numbered S1 through S68.
  • Trash chutes on each floor, with a trash compactor and cardboard recycling on the P1 level at the loading dock.
  • Freight elevator and loading dock: Reservable for moves and larger work; see Buying and Selling below.
  • Mail room adjacent to the lobby.

What the regime fee covers

The association's public Rules do not list a dollar amount for the monthly regime fee, and they do not itemize what the fee covers. They do say monthly fees are due by the 10th of each month, with a $50 late fee after that date, and that payments are to be made online through the William Douglas app (a $15 handling charge applies to payments made by check or another method).

A public marketing site for the building says fees vary by unit and lists security/concierge staffing, maintenance staff, insurance for the building and the association, exterior upkeep, the pool, and costs of other amenities among the items the fees support. That list does not itemize utilities, although the site's amenity list mentions wifi, and a January 2011 pricing sheet posted on the same site listed water, high-speed data, and satellite TV among fee inclusions at that time. Inclusions can change, so confirm the current fee and exactly which utilities and services it covers for the specific unit with the association or William Douglas before you write an offer.

Parking

The Rules treat parking spaces as limited common elements assigned to a unit. Those spaces may be used only by the owners or occupants of that unit and their guests, and vehicles must be parked in the assigned space. The building has a covered parking garage with a 24-hour access system. Retail parking is available on a limited basis for retail guests.

A public marketing site says typical units have 2 covered spaces and the largest units have 3; its January 2011 pricing sheet listed 1 space for the smallest plan, 2 for most plans, and 3 for the 3-bedroom plan. The Rules, effective January 1, 2026, say the board will seek to reclaim one previously assigned parking space from three-bedroom units upon sale, transfer, or issuance of a new lease, so those spaces can be used by guests; a buyer may petition the board to retain the space. Confirm in writing how many spaces are assigned to the unit you are considering, and whether that assignment will change at closing.

Commercial vehicles, trailers, campers, and boats may not be kept on the property without prior written board approval. A vehicle left in the parking deck for 30 consecutive days without being driven is treated as stored and needs prior written board approval.

Pet policy

For owners, the Rules allow up to two dogs and/or cats combined per unit, and a reasonable number of other generally recognized household pets weighing less than 2 pounds each, at the association's discretion. No pet may weigh more than 40 pounds. Fish tanks larger than 30 gallons need association approval. Exotic animals are not allowed, and pets may not be kept or bred for commercial purposes.

As of December 1, 2014, the Rules prohibit renters from having pets; permitted service animals are excluded from that restriction. Pets must be registered with property management. Pets must be leashed outside the unit, may not be walked on the amenity deck, and may be walked outside the project or in the designated pet-walk area at the back of the property near the loading dock. Pets are not allowed in the common elements except when entering or leaving the building by the most direct route.

Requests for an assistance animal are handled as a separate application under the Rules, distinct from ordinary pet rules; ask the association about its process. Confirm current pet rules in the governing documents before you write an offer.

Shopping, Dining & Recreation

Adesso sits at the corner of Main and Blossom Streets, adjacent to the University of South Carolina campus. A public marketing site describes it as being in the heart of downtown Columbia.

Buying a Home in Adesso

Buying at Adesso means buying into a condominium association, so review the unit, the fee, and the building's documents together. Here is what we check with buyers:

  • Regime fee: Confirm the current monthly fee for the specific unit and what it covers. Ask for the current operating budget, the reserve balance, and whether any special assessment is pending or planned. Fees are due by the 10th of each month.
  • Financing: Ask your lender early about its condominium project review. Requirements differ by loan type.
  • Insurance: Ask for the association's master policy and plan for your own HO-6 policy.
  • Documents: Review the Master Deed and Bylaws (ask the closing attorney for the recorded book and page; most county unit cards carry the record reference RB1392-854), the Rules and Regulations (revised December 17, 2025, effective January 1, 2026), and any architectural or amenity agreements. The association also runs a resident web portal (login required); ask William Douglas for access.
  • Parking: Confirm in writing how many limited-common-element spaces are assigned to the unit, where they are in the garage, and whether a three-bedroom unit's parking will change at closing under the January 1, 2026, guest-parking rule.
  • Storage: Confirm whether a deeded storage space conveys with the unit, and which storage number it is.
  • Rentals: If you may rent the condo later, the Rules say no more than 30% of residential units may be rented, the minimum term is 3 months, and the owner must first obtain a rental license from the association (the Rules say the waiting list is maintained by management, and that license dues are $300 per quarter / $1,200 a year under the Master Deed). Owners who rent must also follow City of Columbia and Richland County registration and licensing requirements and provide proof annually. The Rules say leases must be in writing, include the association's lease addendum, and require renter's insurance, and leasing is subject to additional requirements in the Master Deed and Rules. Short-term rentals under 3 months are not allowed under those terms. Confirm the full leasing terms in the Master Deed and current Rules before you buy with plans to rent.
  • Pets: Owners may keep up to two dogs and/or cats (combined) per unit, 40 pounds or less, registered with management. Renters may not keep pets. Assistance animals are a separate process.
  • Renovations: Except for emergency repairs, the board must receive the owner's plan at least 30 calendar days before work starts. Contractors must provide proof of insurance, including workers' compensation, and a City of Columbia business license. Work is limited to Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., unless the board gives prior written approval. The renovation must begin within six months of approval and be completed within 90 days of the start date. Construction debris may not go in the building compactor. The freight elevator must be reserved in advance.
  • Moves: Moves are by appointment only, with at least 7 days' notice to reserve the loading dock, a signed Amenity Agreement, and a $100 reservation fee (waived for a seller moving out after closing). Moves are not allowed between 8:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Only the freight elevator may be used for move-in/move-out items, and no more than two moves may be scheduled on the same day.
  • Schools: Confirm school assignment for the address directly with Richland School District One.
  • Comparable sales: Compare recent sales of similar floor, size, and condition rather than a building-wide range.

Selling a Home in Adesso

Selling an Adesso condo goes more smoothly when the buyer's questions are answered up front: the unit's fee and what it covers, its parking and storage, its floor and view, its updates, and the association documents.

We price Adesso condos from the most similar recent sales by plan, floor, and condition. We also help you gather what buyers and lenders ask for: the current fee and budget, reserve and assessment information, and the rules on rentals, pets, parking, storage, and renovations.

Several building rules shape how a sale is marketed here. The Rules say open houses may not be held on the property at any time. Lockboxes are allowed only in the wall-mounted cabinet on the wall of the P2 (guest and retail) parking area; they may not be placed on unit doors or elsewhere on the property. The association and front desk cannot hold or distribute keys for showings — the owner must provide the listing agent with a key and a key fob. "For Sale" signs on the exterior of a unit need prior written approval from property management. Owners must give the board written notice of a sale within seven days after the transfer or sales documents are executed, and should tell property management the listing agent's contact information. We plan showings around that process.

A seller moving out after closing must still reserve the loading dock, but the $100 reservation fee is waived.
