Lancaster County\u2019s next growth wave<\/a> could bring nearly 1,500 homes between Lancaster and Great Falls.<\/p>\n

Catawba Ridge Holdings, a company affiliated with Greenville-based Contender America<\/a>, submitted plans to build 1,490 homes on 840 acres. Contender America is a development company that builds homes, hotels, restaurants and self-storage facilities. The company also has plans for a 90-lot subdivision near Rock Hill.<\/p>\n

The Lancaster County homes would go on undeveloped property at Catawba Ridge Boulevard and Great Falls Highway.<\/p>\n

The project is the newest phase of Edgewater<\/a>, a project the county approved in 1999 for up to 16,000 homes. It\u2019s since been broken into several phases.<\/p>\n

An original Edgewater development plan from 1999 shows high density residential construction in the area where the latest phase would go, with some commercial construction.<\/p>\n

The developer is responsible for extending Catawba Ridge Boulevard south for the project and has been working with builder True Homes on it, according to the county. True Homes<\/a> is building an adjacent phase of Edgewater to the north and west.<\/p>\n

The new homes would continue a growth trend in Lancaster County, which annually outpaces other counties in the Charlotte region<\/a> and all but a few coastal counties in South Carolina for population growth.<\/p>\n

Even in a county that\u2019s seen massive growth in unincorporated areas like Indian Land, the new project will be sizable.<\/p>\n

The average household size in Lancaster County is 2.7 residents, but for families living together it\u2019s 3.3 people, according to the U.S. Census Bureau<\/a>. One in five Lancaster County homes has four or more people. Even at three people per home, the new Catawba Ridge phase would add nearly 4,500 people.<\/p>\n

For comparison, Fort Mill and York have the highest single- and five-year growth rates in the Charlotte metro region<\/a>. From 2024 to last year, Fort Mill and York grew by a combined 3,253 residents, according to census estimates.<\/p>\n

The Lancaster County project would feed into Erwin Elementary, South Middle and Lancaster High schools. Those schools have a combined enrollment of fewer than 2,200 students.<\/p>\n

Not all of the new Edgewater homes would be built at once. A traffic impact document submitted with plans offers some details on the project.<\/p>\n

It notes a commercial tract between the homes is expected to add a 75,000-square-foot grocery store in a future phase. Full project build-out isn\u2019t expected until 2039. By then, the project eight miles southwest of Lancaster and three miles from Great Falls will generate an expected 21,000 new vehicle trips per day.<\/p>\n

Along with new homes, the project would have 168 acres of open space.<\/p>\n

Commercial, like residential growth, is becoming common across Lancaster County. The county received several commercial project proposals along with the recent plans for Catawba Ridge.<\/p>\n

Barberville Developers offered plans for a seven-parcel business park at Barberville Road and Fort Mill Highway. The site is nearly 10 acres.<\/p>\n

A separate proposal would put a commercial development with offices and a community center on 7 acres at 7319 Charlotte Hwy. A 6-acre site on Yarborough Road is up for rezoning to allow a tree service to operate there.<\/p>\n

Yet another project would add a 7 Brew coffee shop in Indian Land<\/a>.<\/p>\n
