354-unit project brings multifamily developer’s cottage-style build-to-rent concept to Hardeeville
Sands Companies, a full-service, vertically integrated multifamily development and construction firm, began construction on its latest detached, horizontal cottage-style apartment home project in the Carolinas. The new development, Argent Cottage Apartment Homes, further expands the company’s innovative build-to-rent concept to Hardeeville, just west of Hilton Head Island.
Located on Argent Boulevard and New River Parkway, Argent Cottage Apartment Homes will include 354 one- and two-story cottages ranging from one to three bedrooms. The detached cottage homes will have between 510 to 1,293 square feet of living space with monthly rent starting from $1,440. Sands expects to complete the first phase of cottages in the second quarter of 2023.
Sands brought the detached, horizontal apartments concept to the forefront in 2014 and has since developed a plethora of stylish and practical communities to the Carolinas, Georgia and coastal Florida.
“We chose Hardeeville for our next development because of how close it is to popular areas like Hilton Head and Savannah,” Sands President Joe Morrison said. “Residents who work in these destination towns need a place to retreat and call home. Argent Cottages does that while offering the privacy of a detached home and flexibility of renting while tying in the coastal charm of its locale.”
Argent Cottage’s in-home features will include luxury plank flooring, granite countertops and front porches. Many of the homes will include a private garage and side pet yards. High ceilings and natural light round out the cottage home concept.
Additionally, the community will have an abundance of resident amenities including, a resort-style pool with a sun shelf, poolside cabanas, an outdoor kitchen with grilling stations, fire pit, putting green and bocca ball. Inside, the clubhouse will have an entertainment kitchen and private workstation pods to accommodate residents who work from home.
With its proximity to both Hilton Head Island, South Carolina and Savannah, Georgia, Hardeeville is a popular choice to call home while having all the area has to offer just a short drive away. In the 2020 census, Hardeeville had a population of 7,473 residents, increasing over 150% since 2010.
