STYO Development and DRB Homes Propose New Townhome Projects in Greenville

Greville officials reviewed two new residential proposals on Oct. 27 that would add 53 townhome units to the city's housing stock. The projects target specific corridors along Laurens Road and Anderson Road.

STYO Development, based in Charleston, plans a mixed-use project called Park Vue at 803 and 809 Laurens Road. The 2.6-acre site sits next to Holland Park and the Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail. The design includes 35 three-story townhomes and a 4,500-square-foot office building facing the street. Outdoor amenity space and a pedestrian path to the park are also part of the plan.

The site currently carries a Mixed-Use 2 zoning designation that limits buildings to two stories. Developers argue that designating 10% of the units as affordable housing qualifies the project for a height bonus. Synchronicity Land + Architecture handles the landscape and commercial design, while BlueWater Civil Design serves as the civil engineer. The team aims to begin construction by the end of 2026.

A separate proposal from DRB Homes targets a 1.34-acre corner lot at Anderson Road and Martin Row. The plan includes 18 three-story townhomes and one single-family detached home. The city council approved the annexation of this site on Oct. 12. Each townhome is designed with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a two-car garage.

DRB Homes has not set final prices for the units. Chad Carson of the company stated that comparable properties in the area typically sell for between $500,000 and $600,000. The developer is currently consulting with the Sterling neighborhood to choose a name for the community. Carson said the project is in early stages, with ground breaking targeted for 2027 and unit completion expected in 2028. Both projects require city staff approval of minor subdivision applications before construction can start.
