Manufactured Home News: Sun Communities Looking To Add Hundreds More Homes in South Carolina – Legacy Housing Chairman Sells Shares of Company’s Stock – Ohio Manufactured Home Program Celebrates Five Years
Developer to Expand Footprint – The developers behind one of South Carolina’s best known mobile home parks are looking to expand their Horry County footprint with a second site along U.S. Highway 501.
Sun Communities – which manages Carolina Pines Resort – is hoping to build 348 more units near Aynor.
Sun’s “biggest scope of business is manufactured homes, and they do a really good job at it,” Mike Wooten, a principal of DDC Engineers, told the Horry County Planning commission. “The architecture is such that now they have the ability to do the same design standards as a single family home, and they are really good properties.”
Carolina Pines opened at 5800 S.C. Highway 90 in July with 450 sites, but plans call for a total of 841 lots once fully built out.
Since 2010, Sun Communities has acquired $11.7 billion worth of property, according to the company’s latest financial disclosures.
