Columbia-based Cypress Development Partners LLC will build five new homes along Valley Road in the heart of Forest Acres.

 “We are excited to be delivering these new-construction homes in an infill location with very little current inventory,” Cypress partner Tyler Baldwin Jr. said in a news release. “These homes include the master bedroom on the first floor, making them a great fit for families, empty-nesters or folks who work from home.”

The homes are currently under construction by Columbia-based custom home builder The Wilson Co.  The four-bedroom homes range in size from 2,291 to 2,474 square feet, have two-car garages and feature Hardie Plank siding with a brick skirt exterior. The first home is expected to be completed before year’s end.

The homes include open floor plans with plenty of storage options, along with modern finishes. The master suite offers a large bathroom with a separate shower and tub and walk-in closet. Kitchens feature white quartz countertops, shaker-style, white-painted cabinets, an island and pantry, and Samsung stainless steel appliances.

“The quality of the finishes is superb and have been carefully curated to appeal to homeowners from both a high esthetic sense of value and durability,” said Evan Wilson, president of The Wilson Co. “These homes are built to last a lifetime. Any time we build infill projects in high-impact locations like Forest Acres, it’s important that the quality of the offering meets the standards of existing neighborhoods.” 

Calhoun McMeekin of Wolfe & Taylor Inc. is marketing the project.

Cypress Development Partners purchased the 1.5-acre parcel that included a single rental home, which was torn down, and subdivided the property into five lots for the infill project.

Cypress is also part of the development team for St. Anns Alley, an urban infill community of 34 single-family homes in West Columbia’s growing River District.
