Tri Pointe Homes Acquires Land for Development in Bluffton

Tri Pointe Homes, one of the nation’s largest homebuilders, has acquired 60.4 acres in Bluffton, South Carolina, to develop 76 single-family homesites in the final phase of New Riverside’s 3,600-acre planned residential and mixed-use development. The acquisition supports the company’s continued growth in one of the region’s most sought-after Lowcountry markets.

“This acquisition is an important milestone for our division because it represents one of the last new home opportunities in Bluffton,” said Division President of Tri Pointe Homes – Coastal Carolinas Robert Norton. “South Carolina’s emergence as the fastest-growing state in the nation, and Bluffton’s continued recognition as one of the state’s fastest-growing cities, reinforce the long-term opportunity Tri Pointe Homes sees in the Lowcountry. New Riverside captures everything that makes this area so attractive to homebuyers, including its regional connectivity, outdoor recreation, and everyday convenience. We’re thrilled to complement this growth story by delivering the premium lifestyle experience Tri Pointe is known for.”

Tri Pointe’s community will be located within the final phase of New Riverside near the entrance to Palmetto Bluff off New Riverside Road. With home designs currently in development and subject to change, plans anticipate homes up to 3,600 square feet with two- and three-bay garage options on expansive homesites. The neighborhood, tucked behind a gated entry, will offer trail connectivity throughout the community that connects into New Riverside Barn Park.

Historic downtown Bluffton and the May River waterfront are located approximately 10 minutes away, while area beaches, parks, and outdoor recreation can be reached in about 20 minutes. Downtown Savannah, Georgia, is approximately 30 minutes from the site, providing additional employment, entertainment, and cultural opportunities.
