09 Jun TBC Development and BCDC Launch Third Joint Venture with Rental Townhome Community on Johns Island
TBC Development and BCDC have broken ground on Maybank 3030, a 72-unit, three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom rental townhome community located at 3030 Maybank Highway, Johns Island, S.C.
The project marks the third joint venture between the two experienced development firms. Located within the Charleston, S.C. metropolitan area, one of the fastest-growing and most economically vibrant midsize metros in the U.S., Maybank 3030 will deliver much-needed rental housing to an undersupplied market, addressing the lowest apartment-to-resident ratio among Charleston’s downtown-adjacent submarkets.
Each of the 72 townhome units will feature an attached one-car garage, private driveway, and modern layouts across approximately 87,000 net rentable square feet on a nearly nine-acre site.
“Charleston’s growth trajectory is excellent, but high land constraints, strict zoning overlays, and surging demand have created an acute shortage of for-rent product, particularly in desirable submarkets like Johns Island,” said Tony Berry, TBC Development. “We’re thrilled to expand our partnership with BCDC to deliver thoughtfully designed, professionally managed housing that serves the community’s evolving needs.”
Johns Island, the largest island in South Carolina, is prized for its natural beauty and proximity to West Ashley, James Island, Seabrook Island, Kiawah Island and downtown Charleston, all easily accessible via Maybank Highway, one of the region’s primary commercial corridors. The area has become a magnet for young professionals, healthcare workers and families drawn by the robust job market, including Boeing, Mercedes-Benz Vans, Volvo, the Port of Charleston and a new Trident Health Hospital and Emergency Department planned near the project site.
“TBC understands how to identify infill opportunities where demand far outpaces supply,” said Litt Glover, President and CEO of BCDC. “Maybank 3030 is the high-quality, well-located rental housing the Charleston region needs to sustain its economic momentum and support the next wave of growth. We are excited to partner on our third project with the TBC team.”
Charleston’s population has experienced robust growth, with the civilian workforce expanding by nearly 90,000 over the past decade. Despite the influx of residents and jobs, Johns Island remains largely protected under Charleston’s Urban Growth Boundary, with 80% of the island restricted from urban development, leaving few parcels available for thoughtfully scaled residential projects like Maybank 3030.
With financing from Pinnacle Bank, the project team includes Vinyet Architecture, L. Dean Weaver and Center Park Homes. The partnership anticipates delivering first units in the third quarter of 2026.
