Center Park Group, in partnership with The Berry Company (TBC) and Batson-Cook Development Company (BCDC), is excited to announce the start of development on Berkshire on Clements Ferry. Located at 1049 Point Hope Parkway in Charleston, South Carolina, the 40-acre build-to-rent community features 192 townhomes. It is situated in one of the most sought-after areas east of the Cooper River.

Berkshire on Clements Ferry will feature 192 maintenance-free three-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom townhomes, each offering approximately 1,209 square feet of living space, including a one-car attached garage. Site work is currently underway, with vertical construction projected to begin in Q1 2025. The first units are expected to deliver to residents in Q4 2025.

“We have thoroughly enjoyed our relationship with Center Park Group spanning multiple projects in multiple markets,” said Tony Berry, Principal of The Berry Company. “The TBC team looks forward to kicking off another successful project with Center Park Group this year.”

Berkshire on Clements Ferry is set to redefine low-density living. The project uses only 15.5 acres of the site to maintain a neighborhood residential feel. The community will consist of thirty-six three-story buildings thoughtfully arranged in six residential pods, enhancing the sense of privacy and space for future residents.

“Breaking ground on Berkshire on Clements Ferry is an exciting milestone for Center Park Group as we continue expanding our Build-to-Rent portfolio in key markets,” said Jason Esposito, CEO of Center Park Group. “Our partnership with The Berry Company and Batson-Cook Development Company is instrumental in bringing this project to life. We’re committed to delivering a thoughtfully designed community that offers modern homes, exceptional amenities, and a prime location near Point Hope’s retail and recreational offerings.”

The community will provide residents with exclusive access to amenities, including a resort-style pool and poolside cabana, community playground, hammock stations, a pavilion with grilling stations, a dog park, private fenced puppy yards on select units and bike and walking trails throughout the property.

Berkshire on Clements Ferry is within walking distance of Point Hope’s popular shopping center and is located in the sought-after Point Hope master-planned community, making it a prime location for families and professionals.

The community’s management partner will be finalized later this month, ensuring a seamless resident experience upon completion.
