Coming soon: Biltmore Walk

Biltmore Walk — a neighborhood of 44 townhouses — has broken ground off of Pearl Avenue (near Sirrine Stadium). While this development is new, the plan for townhouses — and the name of the development — is not.

The townhouses

Located minutes from the Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail and the County Square redevelopment, Biltmore Walk draws inspiration from New York City’s Gramercy Park.

Described as “a harmonious blend of historic charm and contemporary luxury,” the homes will feature:
  • Three- + four-bedroom floor plans
  • Private elevators and two-car garages
  • Rooftop terraces
  • Access to residential green spaces within the development

A 24-year-old idea

When the Haynie-Sirrine Master Plan was shared in the early-2000s, page 72 introduced us to “Biltmore Park,” a recommendation to build 35 townhouses and a public park.

Stemming from discussions with residents at a series of meetings, this idea supported the master plan’s key recommendations for the neighborhood to “encourage the construction of a wide variety of housing throughout the neighborhood” + “maintain existing housing along Pearl Avenue and provide infill housing on vacant lots.”

Keene Development Group acquired the land and adjacent plots to make the 24-year-old plan, and those recommendations, a reality.

ICYMI, Keene is also building The McDaniel near the Greenville Zoo and Cleveland Park.

Phase two of the popular food hall near Unity Park is now open with LaRue at The Commons.

The chocolate shop (based in Poe West) brought its famous truffles to its brand new second location + is also serving *drumroll please* ice cream. It’s perfect for a snack after your stroll on the trail or playing at Unity Park.

MooHogz BBQ + Indigo Kitchen are following closely behind, expected to open next week. Plus, signage is up for Kuka Juice.

It won’t stop there. Plans are already in the early stages for phase three of The Commons, and developers say there will be “so many other exciting things” when we look at The Commons in a decade.
