Inside Greenville’s newest luxury townhome community
The vision for Biltmore Walk is to create timeless architecture and landscapes that blend in with the natural beauty of Greenville. | Renderings by MHK Architecture
A future Greenville landmark broke ground on Biltmore Drive earlier this month, and we can hardly wait.
Enter: Biltmore Walk, an exclusive enclave of 44 high-end residences located adjacent to historic Alta Vista neighborhood, inspired by New York City’s Gramercy Park. The new development, which has been 24 years in the making, is expected to welcome its first residents in early 2026 and be fully completed by early 2027.
The project is led by Greenville-based businesses Keene Group + Tom Marchant and Kendall Bateman of Marchant Bateman and Co. with Blackstream Christie’s International Real Estate.
The luscious setting
Biltmore Walk’s outdoor setting, designed by landscape architecture firm Knight Strategies, will boast a park-like atmosphere, with tranquil green spaces, walking paths shaded by oaks, and soothing fountains.
The homes will match the natural aesthetic, too — each exterior will be infused with brick and limestone.
Bonus: Keene Group commissioned renowned fine art sculptor Fen de Villiers of Belgium to create a landmark piece for the property. The theme? Celebrating Greenville’s rich heritage.
If the groundbreaking was this beautiful, imagine what the completed community will look like.

The urban convenience
Biltmore Walk’s name is fitting — it is, in fact, very walkable.
The property is located just steps away from the multi-use County Square redevelopment (think: shops, restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues). Downtown and the Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail aren’t far, either.
The luxurious homes
All of Biltmore Walk’s townhomes were designed to blend historic elegance and contemporary luxury. Every element was meticulously selected, from the custom cabinetry and hardwood floors to the large windows inviting an abundance of natural light.

A hands-free neck fan, which makes a great gift for yourself or others to enjoy a 360 breeze keeping you cool outdoors.
I have eaten at Kolapasi several times since it opened, and I’m pleased as punch every time I go. We just took my father-in-law while he was in town, and a new fan was made. Pro tip: Save room for the bread pudding.
