53 new townhomes proposed for Greenville's Laurens and Anderson roads

A total of 53 new townhome units are proposed for construction along two major arteries in Greenville. The projects, presented to the public on Oct. 27, require minor subdivision approvals from city staff before construction can begin.

The first project, Park Vue, involves 35 three-story townhomes on a 2.6-acre site at 803 and 809 Laurens Road. Located near Holland Park and the Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail, the mixed-use development will also include a 4,500-square-foot office building facing the street. STYO Development, based in Charleston, is leading the project with an undetermined home builder. The site is currently zoned MX-2, a classification that typically limits structures to two stories. However, 10 percent of the units will be designated as affordable housing, which allows the developer to use a height bonus. Synchronicity Land + Architecture is handling landscape and commercial design, while BlueWater Civil Design serves as the civil engineer. The team aims to break ground by the end of 2026.

The second project is an 18-unit townhome community with one single-family detached home at the corner of Anderson Road and Martin Row. The 1.34-acre site was annexed by the Greenville City Council on Oct. 12. DRB Homes is the developer for this three-story community. The townhomes are planned to feature three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a two-car garage. Although final pricing is not set, DRB Homes indicated that similar units in the area generally range from $500,000 to $600,000.

Chad Carson of DRB Homes stated that the company is collaborating with the Sterling neighborhood to select a name for the development. While the project is in early stages, the developer targets a groundbreaking date in 2027. Completion of the townhomes is expected in 2028.

Both developments await the same regulatory step: a minor subdivision application approved by city staff. The Park Vue project seeks to utilize the height bonus granted by its affordable housing component. The Anderson Road project relies on the annexation approved in October to secure its building footprint. No construction has yet begun on either site.
