The Preiss Company Breaks Ground on 433-Bed Signature Hartwell Village

Student Housing Complex Targets Fall 2021 Completion Date

Officials at The Preiss Company (TPCO), one of the nation’s largest, privately-held, student housing owner-operators, today broke ground on Signature Hartwell Village (SHV). Serving Clemson University, the 433-bed student housing complex has a targeted completion date of August 2021.

“Along with University Village at Clemson & The Collective at Clemson, Signature Hartwell Village will mark our third asset in the Clemson market,” said Susan Folckemer, chief acquisitions & development officer, TPCO. “We actively have developed, owned and operated in the market since 2000. Our familiarity with the area, university and student base made the decision to invest further in the community a relatively simple one. We look forward to expanding our presence in Clemson as we meet the evolving needs of today’s students.”

Located at 13060 Clemson Blvd. between Tiger Blvd. (US 76) and Pendleton Road (SR 93), Signature Hartwell Village will be part of a 45-acre, mixed-use development. Named Hartwell Village, the area consists of residential, retail and dining options, including Aldi, Petco, Marshalls and multiple hotels. SHV will consist of two four-story and two three-story buildings situated on 3.25 acres, as well as a 6,034 square foot clubhouse and leasing office and a 7,200 square foot outdoor amenity space.

Residents also will enjoy a 24’ jumbotron, fire pits, grills, dog park, cornhole court, a pool with in-water lounging deck, cabana with misters and TV room with 82″ television. For the health conscious, SHV will offer and state-of-the-art fitness center with top-of-the-line equipment. Students will have access to study rooms, high speed, next generation internet and fob access for all amenities and units, as well as a package locker system. The complex also will employ an onsite leasing and maintenance staff.

“While we retain an aggressive acquisition pipeline, development has become an increasingly important component of our growth strategy,” said Folckemer.

Residents may choose between one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom units. Each unit will feature private bedrooms and bathrooms, key fob unit entry, 50″ Smart TVs in each living room, chic modern furniture, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, plank vinyl flooring throughout the unit and in-unit laundry.

“Less than a mile from Clemson University, Signature Hartwell Village is an ideal location for students looking to maximize their college experience,” said Adam Byrley, chief operating officer, TPCO. “Not only does the student housing complex itself offer a variety of study spaces and relaxation options, but the larger Hartwell Village development provides some of the best dining, shopping and entertainment in the area.”
