Greenville housing: 53 new townhomes proposed on Laurens and Anderson roads
Two developers seek approval for mixed-use and residential projects that would add multi-family housing to areas near downtown.
By Justin Brooks ·
Greville is preparing for a potential expansion of its townhome stock along two major corridors. City staff reviewed two separate applications at a project preview meeting on Oct. 27, both of which require minor subdivision approval before construction can begin.
The first proposal, Park Vue, involves 35 three-story units on a 2.6-acre site at 803 and 809 Laurens Road. This location sits next to Holland Park and the Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail. STYO Development, based in Charleston, will partner with a home builder yet to be named. The plan includes a 4,500-square-foot office building facing the street, outdoor amenity spaces, and a pedestrian path to the adjacent park.
Because the current Mixed-Use 2 zoning limits buildings to two stories, the team is applying for a height bonus. This incentive is available because 10 percent of the units at Park Vue will be designated as affordable housing. Synchronicity Land + Architecture is handling the landscape and commercial design, while BlueWater Civil Design serves as the civil engineer. The development team aims to break ground by the end of 2026.
A second project is planned for the corner of Anderson Road and Martin Row. DRB Homes intends to build an 18-unit townhome community alongside a single-family detached home. The City Council approved the annexation of the 1.34-acre site during its Oct. 12 meeting. The townhomes will feature three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a two-car garage.
DRB Homes has not set final prices, but the developer noted that comparable homes in the area typically range from $500,000 to $600,000. Chad Carson of DRB Homes said the company is currently working with the Sterling neighborhood to choose a name for the community. The project is in early stages, with groundbreaking targeted for 2027 and completion expected in 2028.
Both projects will increase the density of residential options in these neighborhoods. The Laurens Road site offers a mix of living and working spaces, while the Anderson Road project focuses on pure residential units. Each development must clear the minor subdivision process to move from paper plans to physical structures.
