SC Upsate Healthcare

One of the first questions asked by customers to a realtor is:  “How far are the nearest medical facilities?” Customers also want access to the highest quality of medical care available. Thankfully, here in the Upstate, we have both. The following is only one of several major medical providers accessible to residents in the Upstate:

PRISMA HEALTH

Prisma Health, formerly known as Greenville Health System (GHS) and Palmetto Health, is a not-for-profit  organization with affiliates in two regions, the Midlands and the Upstate. Prisma Health is the largest not-for-profit health organization in South Carolina, serving more than 1.2 million patients annually by a team of 32,000 members.

Every member of our team plays a vital role in delivering patient-centered care for heart disease, cancer, children’s health, women’s health, orthopaedics, rehabilitation, emergency medicine, medicine specialties and brain injury.

The Cliffs New Ownership

What was thought to be only a partial buy out has turned into a complete buy out of all seven of The Cliffs luxury communities located in the Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina. The Cliffs were previously owned by Arendale Holdings, LLC of Florida.

The Cliffs at Keowee Falls

The new owners, South Street Partners, acquired all seven of The Cliffs communities after an eight-month process that culminated on February 28, 2019. According to their website, South Street Partners was founded in 2009 and “is a private equity real estate investment firm headquartered in Charlotte, NC and Charleston, SC with over $1 billion of assets under management. South Street acts as a principal investment platform as well as an operating partner and co-investor for institutional partners interested in special situations, opportunistic and value add real estate investments in the Southeastern United States as well as select continental US and international markets.”  South Street also acquired the private island community development of Kiawah in 2013, located off the coast of South Carolina near Charleston.

South Street is the third owner of The Cliffs. Jim Anthony was the founding developer of these master-planned luxury communities in 1989. Enthusiasm for the change to South Street is running high as they intend on rolling out many of the same strategies used in marketing their other successful properties at The Cliffs.

Despite the fact that pending home sales saw a 0.7 percent drop in November and the current government shutdown, National Association of Realtors® chief economist, Lawrence Yun believes that there are good longer-term prospects for home sales.  He states: “Home sales in 2018 look to close out the year with 5.3 million home sales, which would be similar to that experienced in the year 2000. But given the 17 million more jobs now compared to the turn of the century, the home sales are clearly underperforming today. That also means there is steady longer-term growth potential.”
