The Rock Hill region saw scores of million-dollar property deals in 2025. Take a look
Behind a strong high-end home market, 2025 set several property sale records for the Rock Hill region. Last year also ended with a flurry of big deals.
A December push in million-dollar sales included a dozen homes, a data center property, apartments and industrial sites. Home sales also are growing at a higher rate than other properties at the highest price points, county land records show.
Here are eight other key takeaways from last year’s sales market:
Million-dollar home sales
High-end home sales continue to climb, setting another record for deals at $1 million or more.
There were 266 million-dollar home sales last year, up nearly 44% from a then record in 2024. There were nearly twice as many million-dollar sales last year as there were in 2023.
What’s more, 20 sales last year were for $2 million or more. That’s another record, up 25% in a year and 150% in two years.
The four $3 million sales last year, with half of them coming in December, set another high mark. There were three sales at that price point in 2024, and one in 2023.
One of those recent December sales is for the highest amount of any home on record, according to online county records, but the $3.9 million deal is more likely about the property than the house.
Residential investment company Hearthstone bought more than 50 acres on Asbury Lane in Indian Land, which includes a small home built in 1951. The company builds new home subdivisions, townhome developments and mixed-use projects.
$10M deals in Rock Hill region
The largest property sales last year were in line with the past few years, with 13 of them topping $10 million. There were 11 similar sales in 2024 and 15 in 2023.
All three years are down significantly from the 32 sales at $10 million or more in 2022.
All but one of the deals to hit eight figures last year came in York County. Lancaster County had the other. Lancaster County had half the region’s total in 2023 and more than a third of them in 2024.
December deals hit high marks
Holiday shopping season brought some big receipts for land deals, too.
Half of the $3 million or more home sales came in December. December also had four non-residential deals at more than $20 million, the most of any month last year.
QTS spent $26 million to expand its $1 billion data center site near Lake Wylie by more than 400 acres. PDM Real Estate bought 22 acres off Anderson Road in Rock Hill, at 2225 Williams Industrial Blvd., for $20 million. Two more sites, an apartment complex and a distribution center, rank among the biggest deals in the region for all of 2025.
Take a look at the top five biggest deals of the year, including two from December:
LPL Financial buildings in Fort Mill
A company affiliated with New York City-based US Realty Advisors bought the LPL Financial buildings in Fort Mill for a combined $106.8 million in April. That amount would make the deal the most expensive on record in the Rock Hill region, but it was split into two transactions.
LPL Financial, an anchor company in the Kingsley area, told The Herald this spring the sale was a landlord change and wouldn’t impact the business. The deal involved three buildings across two land parcels, combining for about 16 acres.
Paces River Apartments in Rock Hill
April also had the second-highest sale, when Summit Rock Hill bought the Paces River Apartments for $77.9 million. It was the most expensive single sale, at the time, in more than a year. But it was also down from early 2022 when the same apartment complex sold for $85 million.
The Paces River deal included three-story apartments and a clubhouse dating back to the late 1980s, on 36 acres in Rock Hill. Now The Summit at Rock Hill, the apartments are near the Interstate 77 interchange at Cherry and Celanese roads.
Saviria properties across York, Lancaster counties
Saviria, a company registered in South Carolina but with a Charlotte address, had the next two biggest deals in the region. Both were in October, combining for $84.6 million in property.
The company bought nine Lancaster County properties for $48.8 million. Vacant Indian Land and Lancaster properties combine for 150 acres.
In York County, Saviria bought 20 acres of commercial and residential property for $35.8 million. They span Rock Hill, Fort Mill and York.
Palmetto Place apartments in Fort Mill
Washington state company Weidner Apartment Homes bought the Palmetto Place apartments in Fort Mill on Dec. 9 for $27.7 million. The more than 12-acre property includes eight three-story apartment buildings and a clubhouse. The mid-1990s constructions are near Tega Cay, just off the S.C. 160 West and Gold Hill Road intersection.
Atlanta Property Group buys in Rock Hill
On Dec. 17, Atlanta Property Group bought the former McKesson Medical-Surgical site at 885 Paragon Way in Rock Hill. The $26.5 million purchase includes a more than 300,000-square-foot distribution facility on 24 acres.
The site in Riverwalk Business Park is just east of I-77 near the new Palmetto Parkway interchange.
