Charleston’s Technical Review Committee is set to take up preliminary plans Thursday for Point Hope North Residential Phase 2, a proposed 103-lot subdivision on 94.4 acres off UT Wright Brothers Drive in Cainhoy. The review is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 12, 2026, and covers a preliminary plat along with road-construction plans for the future single-family development.
The project, at 1590 UT Wright Brothers Drive, lists Cainhoy Land & Timber as the property owner and Thomas & Hutton as the applicant, according to The Daniel Island News. Steven Roach is named as the point of contact for the proposal, and the parcel carries the tax map serial number B2620000028. Detailed agendas and results for Technical Review Committee meetings are posted at charleston-sc.gov/agendacenter, per the same report.
Interestingly, the 103-lot figure in this latest filing doesn’t quite match an earlier description of the same project. A September 2025 report from Live 5 News described Point Hope North Residential as bringing “just under 100 single-family homes,” a figure that doesn’t line up exactly with the 103 units/lots now before the committee. Nothing in the available record explains whether that gap reflects a revised plan or simple rounding.
Part of a Much Larger Build-Out
Point Hope North Residential Phase 2 is just one piece of a sprawling development pattern on the Cainhoy Peninsula. Live 5 News has described Point Hope overall as a 9,000-acre master-planned community, with roughly half its land slated to remain undeveloped and about 1,000 acres reserved for parks, trails and green space. The same report notes Point Hope could eventually include up to 12,000 housing units and bring as many as 45,000 residents to the peninsula.
Other reporting puts the long-term numbers even higher. The Post and Courier has reported that Point Hope is approved for up to 18,000 homes, though the anticipated final build-out might land closer to 11,000 or 12,000 homes over the next 20 years. Those projections point to substantial future growth on the peninsula.
Other Projects Rising Nearby
Phase 2 isn’t the only new housing taking shape around Point Hope. The 348-unit Brooking Square community, with a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and townhomes, has already opened in the area, according to SCBiz. Elsewhere on the peninsula, a proposed 91-lot subdivision known as Point Hope Pod 4 — Phase 2 is planned for 45.4 acres at 1472 Clements Ferry Road, and The Berry Company’s Restore II project is slated to bring 778 homes across 92 acres, with construction possibly beginning in 2027, per The Daniel Island News.
More housing is still on the way beyond that: Ashton Woods is planning roughly 350 single-family homes in a neighborhood called Calais Hill, anticipated for mid-2028, and a nearly 300-home senior living community known as Del Webb Point Hope has also been described in earlier reporting. Even Del Webb's active-adult focus underscores how varied the Cainhoy pipeline has become, from starter subdivisions to retirement living.
Road Projects in Cainhoy
Road widening and a larger bridge are among transportation projects discussed for the area.
Thursday’s Technical Review Committee session will mark another step in the ongoing paperwork behind Point Hope’s expansion, though the outcome of the review and any conditions attached to it were not detailed in materials made available ahead of the meeting. Residents looking for updates can check the city’s own agenda portal once results are posted.
