New workforce housing public-private partnership

development offers model for other communities

in South Carolina and beyond

Members of the local workforce will soon have a new neighborhood to consider thanks to a public-private partnership among the Town of Hilton Head Island, OneStreet Residential, and RBC Community Investments (RBC-CI). The organizations celebrated the new neighborhood's groundbreaking with a community ceremony on February 12, 2026.

"Today marks an important milestone for our community. Northpoint is more than housing; it will be a vibrant neighborhood offering activities, programs and amenities designed to help its residents connect with each other," said Mayor Alan Perry. "For Town Council, it's an honor to help the community invest in what we value and to help facilitate a robust local economy through support for our workforce."

Hilton Head Island Town Manager Marc Orlando noted that the day's ceremony reflected thoughtful planning, persistence, collaboration, and a shared belief that the community deserves workforce housing solutions that last for generations to come.

"Groundbreakings always matter, but this one feels different," he said. "Moments like this should remind us that local government, at its best, is about creating lasting community value through places where people can live and thrive. And, that workforce housing solutions can be both practical and visionary, showing other communities across the nation that public-private partnerships can deliver meaningful, positive impact."

As part of the public-private partnership, the Town provides a 65-year ground lease, $1 million to support eligible site work with contributions secured from the American Rescue Plan Fund, affordability covenants to maintain a workforce neighborhood in perpetuity, zoning entitlements, long-term programming support and vision.

OneStreet Residential's role involves design, permitting, financing, project management, construction, lease-up, long-term programming and property management.

"Northpoint on Jarvis Creek is a connected neighborhood for the people who keep Hilton Head Island running, so that this essential workforce can live where they work, protecting the island’s future, economy, and sense of community," said Brendan Barr, OneStreet Residential Managing Partner. "For more information and to sign up to receive community updates, please visit northpointonjarviscreek.com."

Upon completion, Northpoint is slated to offer 157 units on 11 acres, comprised of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments with rental rates attainable for households with incomes ranging from 60 to 150 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). Based on Beaufort County's 2025 AMI, a family of three could earn between $59,520 and $148,800 to qualify to live at Northpoint and enjoy amenities and programming that prioritize a high quality of life for the Island’s workforce, including teachers, law enforcement, hospitality workers, skilled tradesmen, and health care providers. At least 50 percent of the units will cater to households earning between 60 and 80 percent of the AMI.

Northpoint is RBC-CI's first nontax credit workforce housing initiative, which is intended to increase the supply of housing for middle income families.

"This development is for 'the missing middle;' there’s affordable housing and there's market rate housing, but what about the people in between," said Brian Flanagan, RBC-CI Managing Director. "This workforce housing development is for those individuals, with rents based on income so that they can put groceries on the table, cover medical costs, and save for the future. We are excited to be a part of this, for the future residents who will call Northpoint on Jarvis Creek home."

Next Steps and More Information

The following offers a tentative, high-level schedule for Northpoint on Jarvis Creek, managed by OneStreet Residential:

Tenants Register Interest - February 2026.

Secure Tenants (Lease Up) - Summer of 2026.

First Apartments Available – Early 2027.

"As the general contractor, CF Evans is committed to delivering a high-quality housing community that reflects the vision established by the Town and its partners. That means careful attention to durability, safety, safety, sustainability, and craftsmanship at every stage of construction," said Rusty Porter, CF Evans Executive Vice President. "Being good neighbors during construction is a responsibility we take seriously. We will work to minimize disruption, maintain clean and organized job sites, communicate clearly, and prioritize safety for residents, visitors, and workers alike."

Public Infrastructure Investment

The Town will improve signage, crosswalks, pathways, and access points through the United States Postal Service (USPS) location on William Hilton Parkway and along Gumtree Road to improve safety and connectivity, and livability throughout the area. This work will advance along with the construction schedule of the Northpoint on Jarvis Creek neighborhood.

This new workforce housing public-private partnership advances workforce housing opportunities through a balanced and long-term approach that supports economic vitality and community well-being, as outlined in the Town's 2026-2028 Strategic Action Plan .

New Jarvis Creek development aims to bring workforce housing to Hilton Head

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 16:25:00 GMT

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — A new workforce housing community called North Point on Jarvis Creek is planned for an 11-acre parcel of town-owned land on Hilton Head Island, bringing 157 townhouse-style units to an area already anchored by the Island Rec Center, the Boys & Girls Club and local schools.

The Town of Hilton Head has entered a public-private partnership with One Street Residential LLC and approved a 65-year lease for the site . The development will offer one-, two- and three-bedroom units and is being pitched as a way to keep more workers living on-island by concentrating the island workforce in one community.

Heather Woolwine, communications director for the town, said the reality is that “cost of living hasn’t necessarily kept pace with wage increases and affordability of housing is getting really complicated.”

She emphasized the project’s focus on the “missing middle” — households that don’t qualify for low-income programs but still can’t keep up with rising housing costs.

All 157 units are planned as workforce housing rather than just a percentage of the development.

Estimated rents are expected to range between about $1,600 and $3,600, targeting households earning between 60% and 150% of area median income.

Based on Beaufort County’s 2025 AMI, a family of three could qualify with earnings roughly between $59,520 and $148,800.

For the first three years after opening, leasing will be restricted to people who work on the island.

Town officials say the goal is to maintain and grow the local workforce by creating attainable housing options close to community amenities.

Groundbreaking is scheduled for February 12.

Can You Afford to Live in Hilton Head’s New Worker Housing Project?

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 16:24:00 GMT

After years of planning, Hilton Head’s first dedicated workforce housing project is finally shovel-ready. Site work began Thursday for the new 157-unit Northpoint housing community, according to a town press release. The project is a partnership between the Town of Hilton Head Island and OneStreet Residential, LLC, with the town providing $1 million and a 65-year ground lease for the project.

The community is set to be the first on Hilton Head that will require 100% of its residents to be employed on the island. Officials hope the project will help fill a gap in housing for workers on Hilton Head who don’t qualify for affordable housing but still can’t afford to live there. “Recent housing costs have challenged essential workers on the island from being able to enjoy shorter commutes and a better quality of life,” OneStreet Managing Partner Brendan Bar said in the press release. “Northpoint will open the doors to that opportunity for more than 150 households.” The units will be a mix of one, two and three-bedrooms, and will be built on an 11-acre tract of town-owned property next to the United States Post Office on the north end. Units are expected to cost renters between $1,600 and $3,600 per month, depending on household income and number of bedrooms, according to the press release. Although the units will be income-restricted, only half will be reserved for residents making below 80% of the median income for households of the same size in Beaufort County.

A number of other workforce housing projects are underway on Hilton Head. Novant Health has proposed a workforce housing initiative near Hilton Head Medical Center, while the town is currently seeking a partner for its second workforce housing project proposed at 30 Bryant Road. A groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for Feb. 12. The first apartments are expected to be available by early 2027, according to a town website.

OneStreet Residential Selected as Development Partner for Flagship Workforce Housing Community on Hilton Head Island.

Fri, 02 Aug 2024 16:36:00 GMT

Hilton Head Island, SC (July 25, 2024) – The Town of Hilton Head Island and OneStreet Residential signed a Workforce Housing Development Agreement for an 11-acre tract of Town-owned land at Northpoint Circle. This marks a critical step toward creating a sustainable workforce housing neighborhood on Hilton Head Island.

On Tuesday, June 18, the Hilton Head Island Town Council voted to approve OneStreet Residential as the Town’s development partner. The decision was made following a comprehensive analysis and legal review by the Town Manager, Town staff, and the Town’s Northpoint Public-Private Partnership Housing Advisory Committee. The Northpoint Advisory Committee, comprised of Town Council members and community leaders, endorsed OneStreet Residential as the most suitable development partner after an extensive review of development plans, financing options, programming and property management.

Upon completion, Northpoint is slated to offer 150 to 170 units, comprised of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments with rental rates attainable for households with incomes ranging from 60 to 150 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). Based on Beaufort County’s 2024 AMI, a family of three could earn between $57,480 and $143,700 to qualify to live at Northpoint.

The Northpoint neighborhood will consist entirely of workforce housing, targeting Hilton Head Island’s workers. Residents must be employed on Hilton Head Island to live at Northpoint. At least 50 percent of the units will cater to households earning between 60 and 80 percent of the AMI, including teachers, law enforcement, hospitality workers, and healthcare providers. This eligibility criteria ensures accessibility for a wide range of essential workers on the Island.

“Northpoint will be a vibrant neighborhood offering activities, programs and amenities designed to help its residents connect with each other; places for kids and adults to play, gather, bond, and make friendships that grow far beyond just being neighbors,” said Hilton Head Island Mayor Alan Perry.

“The Workforce Housing Development Agreement is a major step toward providing long-term housing solutions for the Island’s essential workforce.” said Hilton Head Island Town Manager Marc Orlando. “Through collaboration and careful planning, we are addressing workforce housing within a transformative neighborhood. OneStreet Residential will help us create a best-in-class neighborhood for our Island’s workforce while maintaining the high standards of architectural and environmental quality residents expect.”

OneStreet Residential is an award-winning developer, owner and property manager with a unique 35-year track record of creating workforce and mixed-income communities throughout the Southeast. The company focuses on creating beautiful properties crafted to live and function as high-quality, sustainable neighborhoods throughout their lifetime.

OneStreet’s leadership team has been meeting with stakeholders and visiting locations around the Island to explore the environment and designs of local architecture. Their goal is to intimately understand the people they will be building for and to ensure that the Northpoint development aligns with the needs and aspirations of the local community.

“From the moment we started talking with Hilton Head Island leaders about this project, we knew it would be special,” said OneStreet Residential CEO David Dixon. “Hilton Head Island is a unique and special place to live and work. The beauty of this spectacular Island resonated with us the first time we set foot here. Through this project we have a chance to not just give people a place to live but to also make this a model development for cities and towns throughout the Southeast and beyond.”

Town officials and OneStreet Residential envision an energy-efficient, thoughtful design offering amenities and programming that prioritize the well-being and quality of life of its residents.

Northpoint features will include:

150 to 170 energy-efficient rental units, with a mixture of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments.
Sustainable design with solar components and high-quality architecture and construction.
A pool and outdoor communal spaces with grilling, dining stations, pavilions, seating, and playgrounds to foster social interaction and a sense of community among residents.
Functional open spaces with views of Jarvis Creek and a neighborhood park with walking trails and fitness stations, and a community garden to encourage residents’ health and wellness.
Onsite property management and a multipurpose community center with high-speed internet and programs tailored to residents’ needs, such as educational, economic empowerment and recreational activities.
Integration of stormwater eco-infrastructure, such as rain gardens and bioswales to enhance the landscape while capturing, treating, and infiltrating stormwater runoff.
An attractive green infrastructure strategy, including pervious materials and water-neutral site features.
Onsite recycling and trash facilities.
Pedestrian and bike-friendly infrastructure.
Electric vehicle charging stations.
An onsite trolley stop to encourage the use of public transportation.
Native landscaping and minimal turf grass to reduce water consumption from irrigation.
Well-lit entrances, landscaped pathways and parking areas to promote safety.
Laundry appliances within each unit for residents’ convenience.

The Northpoint site is located on William Hilton Parkway and Jarvis Creek, within a mile of Hilton Head Island schools and the Island Recreation Center, and near the Boys & Girls Club. The Northpoint property was originally developed as a commercial subdivision before being acquired by the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) in the 1990s to support the construction of the Cross Island Parkway. The Town acquired the property from SCDOT in 1999 with Real Estate Transfer Fee funds for about $1.4 million, which included the Town designing and replacing a culvert under U.S. 278 as partial credit against the purchase of the land. Although no commercial buildings were constructed at Northpoint, the existing road and supporting infrastructure makes the site ideal for redevelopment.

The Northpoint project reflects a public-private partnership in which the Town provides a 65-year ground lease, $1 million to support eligible project costs with contributions secured from the American Rescue Plan Fund, affordability covenants to maintain a workforce neighborhood in perpetuity, zoning entitlements, long-term programming support and project vision.

OneStreet Residential’s role involves design, permitting, financing, project management, construction, lease-up, long-term programming and property management.

Over the coming months, OneStreet Residential will collaborate closely with Town leadership to finalize next steps in the planning process, with construction targeted to commence in the summer of 2025. Construction is anticipated to last 18 months, with the first units being available to rent in late 2026.
