Rock Hill Region Sees Surge in New Housing Developments
The Rock Hill region is experiencing a significant surge in new housing developments as multiple projects take shape across York and Lancaster counties. This growing activity reflects the region’s ongoing demand for residential options and could lead to around 2,000 homes and apartments being constructed soon.
New Developments on the Horizon
Since early October, various communities have submitted numerous requests for new subdivisions. Recent approvals and recommendations from planning commissions are paving the way for extensive residential projects designed to accommodate the region’s expanding population.
- Rock Hill City Council amended an agreement on November 11 to advance a 300-apartment development at the former Herald newspaper site, located at the intersection of Main Street, White Street, and Dave Lyle Boulevard. This project, spearheaded by developer White Point, will occupy about 7 acres of land.
- Fort Mill also looks to expand its housing market. The planning commission recommended a rezoning for a mixed-use project in downtown Fort Mill, which would include 225 apartments and commercial space on a 16-acre site. However, the Fort Mill Town Council decided on November 11 to postpone a final decision until January.
- Under approval is the Williams Reserve subdivision, proposed by Pulte Homes, allowing for up to 408 residential units ranging from homes to townhomes and senior living facilities on a 78-acre site in Fort Mill, near major roads.
- In Lake Wylie, Titan Land Partners’ plans for Legacy Point would create 37 home lots on a substantial 212-acre property. The York County Planning Commission approved this project on November 12.
- The Tega Cay Planning Commission recently green-lighted the addition of 33 homes on a 9-acre site as part of the River Falls subdivision project, led by Taylor Morrison.
- Nearby, Gladden Builders proposes 20 homes on 29 acres at the Old Hope Farm site in York. The county planning commission has also approved this initiative.
- Meanwhile, Riverchase Estate Partners and LGI Homes aim to introduce 343 new homes in the Riverchase Estates subdivision in Lancaster County. Approval was given last month for this large project.
- Not far from there, Springland, Inc. is requesting to build a new subdivision called Scarlet Grove, consisting of 319 homes on 117 acres of land in Lancaster. The city zoning board of appeals is set to review this case on November 18.
- In another Lancaster County initiative, True Homes has submitted plans for Eagles Landing, which would add 125 homes to the larger Edgewater project.
- The Lancaster County planning commission is also reviewing a proposal to build 58 new homes on a 27-acre site submitted by BRD Land & Investments.
Growing Demand and Future Plans
This increase in housing projects is a response to the continuous demand for residential spaces in the region. As the Rock Hill area grows, local developers are racing to provide much-needed homes for families moving to this appealing southern locale. The approvals granted over recent months project a commitment to accommodating future residents and fostering community growth.
With these upcoming developments, potential homebuyers can anticipate a significant increase in housing options within the Rock Hill region, making now an exciting time for both investors and future homeowners.
