BRUSH ARBOR?

In the heart of Richland County, South Carolina, a transformative vision is taking shape on 73 acres of land—a vision that draws its inspiration from the profound legacy of brush arbors. These sacred spaces once served as sanctuaries for enslaved individuals, offering them solace, community, and a sense of belonging in the face of unimaginable adversity. Brush arbors stood as powerful symbols of resilience, unity, and the indomitable human spirit.

Today, we are proud to introduce Brush Arbor, a groundbreaking mixed-use, intergenerational development that embodies the values and aspirations of those who came before us. We have dreamed with the property owners, Temple Zion Baptist Church, to create a community that not only honors the past but also embraces the future.

Brush Arbor is more than just a development; it is a vibrant tapestry woven from the threads of residential life, commercial enterprise, and communal spaces. This harmonious blend creates an environment where people of all ages and backgrounds can come together to live, learn, work, and thrive. It is a place where diversity is celebrated, creativity is nurtured, and sustainable practices are embraced.

At the heart of Brush Arbor lies a profound sense of belonging. Just as the brush arbors of old provided a sanctuary for the enslaved, this community offers a welcoming embrace to all who seek connection, support, and understanding. It is a place where learning is facilitated, commerce is encouraged, and peace is promoted.

Imagine a community where generations can interact and learn from one another, where innovative ideas are born and brought to life, and where the power of collaboration and shared values can transform lives. This is the essence of Brush Arbor—a testament to the enduring strength, unity, and hope that have sustained our ancestors and continue to inspire us today.

Join us on this extraordinary journey as we create a community that not only honors the past but also shapes a brighter, more inclusive future. Together, we will build a legacy that will endure for generations to come, just as the spirit of the brush arbors has endured through the ages. Welcome to Brush Arbor, where restoration, innovation, and transformation converge to create a truly extraordinary place to call home.
