COLUMBIA — Exciting News for Local Residents!
Have you heard the buzz about a new housing development coming to North Columbia? Grab your coffee and settle in because this news is making waves in our community! A Florida-based company, known for creating stunning man-made lagoons and beach areas, has just received the green light to kick off construction on an amazing new project.
All About the Lagoon
Miami’s Crystal Lagoons has secured permit approval for a fabulous three-acre lagoon that will be the centerpiece of the upcoming Oak Hills subdivision. That’s right! This isn’t just any ordinary neighborhood—it’s set to be an extraordinary mix of homes and recreation right at the intersection of Fairfield and Crane Church roads, just a stone’s throw from Interstate 20.
The Oak Hills subdivision will be quite expansive, featuring around 2,400 lots designed for both single-family homes and trendy townhome units. It’s also going to sit next to the beautiful Oak Hills Golf Course, adding even more charm to the area!
A Community With Plenty to Offer
Now, you might be wondering what else you can expect from this exciting development. Well, the lagoon will boast a lovely artificial beach, stretching over one-and-a-half acres around its shimmering waters. It’s perfect for everyone—whether you want to take a dip in the lagoon, lounge under the sun, or have a fun time with friends and family.
But that’s not all! The plans include amenities you just might fall in love with. Are you a sports enthusiast? There will be tennis courts. Perhaps you have little ones who need entertaining? A designated children’s area is in the works as well. And for those looking to celebrate special moments, a lovely peninsula for weddings will be available.
Imagine enjoying a meal at waterfront restaurants or renting water sports gear. If you fancy a stroll or family outings, a well-designed park is set to make the list of attractions. And to top it all off, there’s even a luxury hotel planned to accommodate visitors, ensuring there’s always something happening!
What This Means for Columbia
This project is a significant milestone for Crystal Lagoons, marking their first venture into South Carolina. According to Joseph Baldassarra, the president of the partnering firm Broadstreet, this approval brings them closer to realizing their vision of a vibrant beach lifestyle community right here in the Midlands.
“The Crystal Lagoons at Oak Hills will provide exceptional, safe, and enjoyable recreational spaces for all ages,” Baldassarra shared in a recent release. How great is it to know that our community will not only provide new homes but also foster a place where families can gather and create lasting memories?
Looking Ahead
Construction on this stunning lagoon is slated to begin in early 2025, so mark your calendars! As South Carolina continues to grow, projects like these highlight the appeal and potential of our beautiful state. There’s a little something for everyone in the works at Oak Hills, and we can’t wait to see it come to life.
This development will surely enhance our neighborhoods, contribute positively to our local economy, and present new opportunities for leisure and recreation. So, whether you’re a potential new resident, an enthusiastic homeowner in the area, or someone who simply loves Columbia, this is an exciting time! Let’s all look forward to what the future holds.
