Properties in Bluffton and Beaufort highlight Tri Pointe Homes’ growing presence, premium lifestyle brand, and diverse residential offerings across the Lowcountry region
CHARLESTON, S.C., May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tri Pointe Homes® (NYSE: TPH), one of the largest homebuilders in the U.S., today announced two new planned land acquisitions in South Carolina as part of its new division in the Coastal Carolinas. Neighborhoods planned for the two sites — single-family homes in Bluffton and townhomes in Beaufort— reflect Tri Pointe’s strategy to serve a wide range of homebuyers with thoughtfully designed homes in locations known for their mix of natural beauty, Lowcountry charm, and access to coastal amenities.
“Beaufort County has earned its reputation as South Carolina’s top place to live, offering a rare combination of longevity, education, and prosperity1,” said Doug Bauer, Tri Pointe Homes chief executive officer. “After launching Tri Pointe’s Coastal Carolinas division just last year, these two transactions are an important milestone and a tremendous opportunity to continue the upward momentum. This market is an exciting frontier for Tri Pointe, and I believe the diversity of these projects will demonstrate our ability to deliver housing options that cater to a wide range of lifestyles. We are thrilled to have the chance to contribute to the legacy of such a thriving community.”
Guided by Tri Pointe’s vision for delivering premium lifestyle experiences, both of the opportunities will be designed to offer distinct housing products situated near key lifestyle and economic hubs:
Single family homes in Bluffton, SC

It also offers easy access to Hilton Head Island beaches and golf courses such as May River Golf Club and Hilton Head National. The site is zoned for one of the top school districts in the region, with schools like Bluffton High School and Red Cedar Elementary School nearby. Residents will enjoy a lifestyle enriched by proximity to Bluffton’s vibrant arts scene, green spaces, and entertainment options like Station 300 and The Zone indoor amusement center.
Townhomes in Beaufort, SC
Expected 2027
Located six miles from downtown Beaufort, this property includes townhome lots with plans to feature Lowcountry-inspired architecture. Residents will benefit from the community’s convenient access to downtown Beaufort’s shopping and dining, the Broad River waterfront, and walkable green spaces like the Spanish Moss Trail. Local attractions include Cross Creek shopping mall and employment centers such as Savannah ports, Gulfstream, and USC Beaufort. The community is also situated near top-rated schools, including Bridges Preparatory Charter School and Robert Small Parkway’s educational and retail corridor.
