Greenville Housing Fund opens renovated Century Plaza

May 13, 2024

GREENVILLE, S.C. – Two local women, Sheryl Pierce and Brittany Cannon, described their personal journeys to finding quality, attainable housing at a ribbon-cutting to celebrate the completion of extensive renovations at Century Plaza Apartments, a 212-unit mixed-income-to-market-rate apartment and townhome complex on Century Drive in the Overbrook neighborhood. Affordable housing advocates and local officials attended the festivities, with confetti cannons adding a happy exclamation point to the event.

Renovations and Upgrades

Over half the apartments have seen interior renovations, and extensive work has been done to the exterior and building systems, including siding and window replacements and upgraded landscaping. The community clubhouse sports new gym equipment and a refreshed resident lounge, while renovations to the outdoor pool were also recently completed.

Partnerships and Collaboration

Bryan Brown, Greenville Housing Fund’s President and CEO, said that Greenville Housing Fund has invested over $5 million at Century Plaza over the past year, without displacing existing residents. Brown noted that the renovations are on-going, but that the improved functionality and aesthetic of the property will be on display during a first-annual summer cookout for the Century Plaza community in early June, hosted by Greenville Housing Fund, complete with local BBQ, snow cones, and popcorn machines.

Community Support

Brown also praised a successful collaboration with the Greenville Housing Authority to accept housing vouchers at Century Plaza, creating additional opportunities for as many as fifty households seeking reasonably priced housing in Greenville’s extremely hot real estate market.

Rental Availability

Apartments at Century Plaza are still available; interested renters can contact the leasing office at (864) 696-2278 to check current inventory and to apply for a unit.
