Andy White Wins Gordon A. Harrison Award

Andy White of Edge City Homes and partner in Lifestone Communities, developer of Saluda River Club, is this year’s recipient of the Gordon A. Harrison Award.

Presented by the Home Builders Association of Greater Columbia (HBA) and sponsored by Stock Building Supply, the award is given each year to an outstanding home builder in the spirit of the man it is named after. According to the HBA; “Harrison is remembered for his high personal character and integrity as well as his commitment to helping others.”

White has been a member of the HBA since 1997. He served as President of the Home Builders Association in 2003 and as Chairman of the HBA of South Carolina Legislative Committee in 2000, 2002 and from 2008 to present. The work of the Legislative Committee is vital to the association and all members throughout the state. Under White’s leadership the Association has gained many legislative victories on behalf of the industry including legislation to limit the abuse of impact fees on housing, property tax reform and a moratorium on a mandate for fire sprinklers in new homes.

White’s great commitment to his work has far exceeded expectations with Saluda River Club, a Gold Medal Winner for the nation’s Best Smart Growth Neighborhood and the site of the 2008 Parade of Homes.

According to White: “Saluda River Club is our first project under the Lifestone Communities banner, and for us it’s just the beginning. The future holds exciting times for builder/developers who are willing to think outside the box, offer diverse products and respond quickly to consumers by creating quality communities. That’s what Lifestone Communities is all about – the commitment of the three of us to be forward-thinking, in tune with today’s and tomorrow’s consumers, and to deliver the very best each and every time.”

Art on the River was An Amazing Event

Art on the River – an exhibit of works Inspired by the Saluda – was a great success! 

 

 

 

November 20, 21 & 22:  Local and international artists displayed a wide variety of amazing paintings, photographs and silverwork at the Chickawa Outdoor Center within Saluda River Club.  Opening night was attended by over 100 people who mingled with the artists, visited with friends and neighbors and enjoyed a beautiful moonlit evening on the banks of the Saluda.  The show continued to draw art enthusiasts and buyers as throughout the weekend.

Art on the River not only showcased the outstanding talents of the artists and the beauty of the venue, it also allowed Lifestone Communities, the developer of Saluda River Club, to give back to the local arts community.  A portion of the proceeds from the art sales will be donated to the Cultural Council of Richland and Lexington Counties.  The Council helps to promote and enhance the arts in Richland and Lexington counties.

 “It was an amazing weekend and we look forward to hosting this type of event again.”  Andy White, Lifestone Communities.  

Event photos coming soon.   See “Events at Saluda.”
