A senate RESOLUTION

 

TO CONGRATULATE the heritage condominiums UPON THE OCCASION OF ITS fiftieth ANNIVERSARY AND TO COMMEND robert t. "bobby" lyles FOR his work as lead architect for the project.

 

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are pleased to recognize The Heritage Condominiums as it celebrates this important milestone; and

 

Whereas, constructed in 1974, The Heritage Condominiums heralded the arrival of upscale high-rise living in downtown Columbia. Crafted by the esteemed firms of Lyles, Bissett, Carlisle, and Wolff in collaboration with Associated Investments and executed by M.B. Kohn Construction, the project marked the genesis of a residential renaissance in Old Columbia; and

 

Whereas, under the visionary guidance of a young architect, Robert T. "Bobby" Lyles, the building boasts expansive, wrap-around balconies that afford breathtaking vistas of the cityscape to its discerning residents. Its array of amenities includes a round-the-clock doorman, a heated pool a well-appointed fitness center, and a refined wine cellar; and

 

Whereas, throughout its storied existence, The Heritage has remained a prestigious address coveted by denizens of downtown. Distinguished figures such as former South Carolina governors Robert McNair and Richard Riley have called it home, alongside prominent members of Columbia's business community, legal luminaries, university professors, and the esteemed former president of the University of South Carolina, Pat Patterson; and

 

Whereas, notably, Bobby Lyles, the lead architect behind The Heritage, has not only shaped its architectural legacy but also made it his residence since 1992. His enduring commitment is underscored by his tenure as chairman of the board of the homeowners association, a role he has held with distinction for the past twenty-eight years, steering The Heritage through transformative periods, including a significant multi-million dollar renovation completed in 2016; and

 

Whereas, across five decades, The Heritage has been witness to countless narratives, festivities, and serene moments. It transcends its physical manifestation as mere concrete and steel, emerging as a living testament to the rich tapestry of Columbia's history; and

 

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate greatly appreciate the dedication and commitment of Bobby Lyles and The Heritage Condominiums to serving the people and the State of South Carolina.  Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the Senate:

 

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, congratulate The Heritage Condominiums upon the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary and commend Robert T. "Bobby" Lyles for his work as lead architect for the project.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Bobby Lyles.
