Two affiliated LLCs have secured permits for three apartment buildings at 125 Lions Club Rd in Greenville County, with a combined declared valuation of roughly $4 million. The permits, all issued on September 30, mark a substantial multifamily push in the Berea area northwest of downtown Greenville.
What the Permits Show
Greenville County issued three commercial interior upfit permits on the same day for the Berea Heights Apartments project. Permit 26-002897 covers Building #100 at 125 Lions Club Rd 100, valued at $1,333,333 and owned by Berea Heights Villas LLC. Permit 26-002902 covers Building #200 at 125 Lions Club Rd 200, also valued at $1,333,333 under the same ownership entity. Permit 26-002904 covers Building #300 at 125 Lions Club Rd 300, valued at $1,333,333 and owned by a separate but apparently related entity, Berea Heights SC LLC.
All three permits are classified as commercial interior upfits and carry an "issued" status, meaning work is authorized to proceed. No contractor is listed on any of the three filings. The site spans roughly five acres, according to available project details, and the total declared valuation across the three buildings comes to $3,999,999. The permits suggest the project involves finishing or converting interior spaces within structures that are either newly built or being substantially renovated for residential use.
Why It Matters
The Berea corridor has seen growing development interest in recent years, and a $4 million apartment project on Lions Club Road adds to that momentum. The involvement of two related LLCs — Berea Heights Villas LLC and Berea Heights SC LLC — points to an organized investment approach targeting a part of Greenville County that has historically served moderate-income residents. Three buildings permitted simultaneously on the same parcel indicate a phased or coordinated build-out rather than piecemeal development. For area residents and local businesses, the project could bring increased housing density and, with it, additional demand for services and retail along nearby corridors. The permits are among the larger multifamily filings recorded in unincorporated Greenville County this fall.
