The first Crystal Lagoons amenity in SC is set to become the focal point of a new residential development near Oak Hills Golf Club in North Columbia. The project was shared with the nearby community at a March town hall meeting led by Richland County Councilwoman Gretchen D. Barron at Crane Creek Gym. Construction is expected to begin in early 2025.

Spanning nearly six acres, the Oak Hills community will include:

  • A three-acre Crystal Lagoons amenity
  • A 1.5-acre beach area
  • Approximately 2,400 residential lots across subdivisions such as Oak Hills, Dakota Farms, and Rockgate
  • Single-family home lots ranging from 50x125 to 75x135 ft
  • Townhomes available on 20x100 ft lots

Developed by Broadstreet in partnership with Contender Development and Blue Lagoon Development LLC, the community will feature:

  • Tennis courts
  • A kids zone
  • Waterfront restaurants
  • A luxury hotel
  • A park

This project aims to bring a beach lifestyle to the Midlands, with the lagoon serving as a unique destination for locals + tourists.

“The Crystal Lagoons® at Oak Hills will provide exceptional, safe and enjoyable recreational spaces for all ages,” said Joseph Baldassarra, president of Broadstreet. “We’re excited to create a destination that will not only enhance the quality of life for residents but also become a focal point for the entire region.”
