650 new single-family homes coming to growing community near Hilton Head
More than 650 new homes are coming to the Lowcountry after a Georgia-based developer acquired land in growing areas.
Trilogy Investment Co., an investor and residential real estate developer based in Alpharetta, Georgia, said that it plans to deliver home sites to homebuilder NVR, Inc. through its land development platform, Tierra Development. NVR will then build hundreds of homes on Trilogy’s two new Lowcountry properties, both in Jasper County.
“By identifying high-quality land opportunities and aligning with exceptional builder and capital partners, we are helping deliver much-needed housing supply in the southeast while driving strong outcomes for our investors,” Jason Joseph, CEO and managing partner of Trilogy, said in a press release.
The two Jasper County projects
The first project, which is currently under construction, will include 414 homes in a Hardeeville development called Heron Pointe, south of Interstate 95 and east of Speedway Boulevard. Work is underway on phase one, which will include 174 homes, Trilogy said. Construction on phase two is expected to begin next summer.
Jasper County property records show that Trilogy purchased the 118-acre site for about $6.8 million in June of this year. The land is currently valued at about $3.2 million, records show, and phase one of the project is financed by Charlotte-based Harvest Capital through an acquisition and development loan, Harvest Capital said on its website.
The second project, called East Argent, is part of a project billed as the largest residential development in the history of Hardeeville. Trilogy said in its press release that the project is in Bluffton, but it is technically in Jasper County near the Beaufort County border.
East Argent is a Planned Development District (PDD) put in place by the city of Hardeeville in the early 2000s. It will include homes, apartments, commercial space and a new YMCA, which broke ground earlier this year. A 312-unit apartment complex, Waterford Pointe Apartments, is scheduled to come online in 2027, and Publix owns a 17-acre site in the southwest corner of Highway 170 and East Argent Parkway, records show.
D.R. Horton is developing a 245-acre, 630-home resort-style community in East Argent called The Retreat.
Trilogy’s 92-acre property sits in the northeast corner of Jasper Station Road and East Argent Parkway, across from Heartwood Community Preschool. Records show a sale date of Sept. 12 and a price of $10.
The area’s housing and population growth
Jasper County’s housing stock is growing faster than anywhere else in the U.S. The county’s housing stock grew by 8.4% between 2023 and 2024, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Hardeeville’s population jumped from about 7,000 residents in 2020 to 13,000 by 2024, making it the fastest-growing municipality in the state.
The new Carolina Station development off U.S. 278 is expected to bring 3,800 homes to Hardeeville, plus recreational areas and commercial space.
