TEGA CAY, S.C. — The City of Tega Cay is poised to transform a vacant expanse of land off Stonecrest Boulevard and Dam Road into a vibrant, mixed-use community with the launch of the new Main Street project. The plans, unveiled at the city council meeting last night, have been described as a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity to create a dynamic live-work-play neighborhood that will serve as a centerpiece for the city.
The ambitious plan includes a balanced mix of residential spaces, community-focused retail, office areas, and amenities. At its heart will be a large public park, emphasizing walkability and green spaces.

The development will include 150 townhomes and single-family residences, 225 multifamily units, and over 100,000 square feet of commercial space. With an estimated investment of $250–$300 million, the project is expected to generate more than 1,000 direct and indirect jobs and contribute approximately $275 million in economic output.
