A 243-acre (98.3-hectare) residential development located in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, six miles (9.6 kilometers) east of Charleston. With a master plan inspired by traditional neighborhood design concepts, the development features a pedestrian-friendly, relatively high-density environment. At buildout, it will include more than 750 custom-built single-family homes as well as community facilities and a small-scale commercial area near the entrance. The classic “Low-country” style of the region serves as I’On’s architectural reference. The “I’On Code” a set of simple architectural details, as well as an architectural primer and a set of community patterns, encourages flexible conformance to this model. The community also pays attention to the natural environment, with tree-lined streets, natural open areas, marshes, lakes, and recreational facilities for residents.
