The 90 acres east of the Laurens Road corridor — from Haywood Road past Verdae Commons Drive — aims to be a “vibrant, connected, and pedestrian-oriented destination.” The project will create a walkable district featuring homes and apartments, retail shops, offices, green spaces, and improved connectivity to the Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trailwith 1.5 miles of the trail fronting the land.

The developers (Verdae Development Inc., owned by Hollingsworth Funds) say they’re already hearing from restaurants, grocery stores, offices, and development partners that want to be a part of the project.
