Two former outdated apartment complexes off White Horse Road officially started a new chapter Thursday morning as community members welcomed 38 new affordable units at Vista West III.
The ceremony yesterday was about more than bricks and mortar, said Mario Brown, CEO of Affordable Upstate, who owns Vista West III and oversaw the redevelopment of the property with support from Lowe’s.

This was a project that started in July 2024 when Affordable Upstate purchased a two-story building at 100 Lily Street that had 14 units, and an L-shaped, two-story structure that had 24 at 2001 West Parker Road.
The goal was to restore them and combine them into one community instead of demolishing the units and building something new, and much more expensive for residents. This was the company’s third acquisition on Lily Street and gives them a significant competitive advantage, with the entire Vista West portfolio on Lily Street and West Parker Road being 160 units.

Ribbon cutting done right.

Custom cups, fresh espresso, and a setup your guests actually remember.

This one was for an @affordableupstate ribbon cutting event, bringing people together over something better than standard coffee.

If you’re planning a grand opening or client event, this is your sign.

“This started with a vision to change how people look at affordable housing,” Brown said. “For too long, our community has accepted substandard housing as the norm. That is changing. We are leading that change.”

Affordable Upstate has secured a $59 million loan for the crossed collateralized cash-out refinancing of Paris Park, Terrain at Haywood, and Mauldin Meadows through a partnership with JLL Capital Markets.

JLL is a full-service global provider of capital solutions for real estate investors and occupiers. The firm’s in-depth local market and global investor knowledge delivers the best-in-class solutions for clients, whether investment sales and advisory, debt advisory, equity advisory or a recapitalization. JLL worked on behalf of Affordable Upstate in arranging the three-year interest only loan through Truist Bank.

Affordable Upstate acquired these properties between December 2021 and September 2022 with a common equity structure allowing for the cross collateralization. They represent affordable housing for 598 families in Greenville County.

Since acquiring them, Affordable Upstate has invested more than $13.6 million in capital improvements, self-imposed affordability restrictions at 80% of AMI and 60% of AMI at each asset, and efficiently managed the assets with the team at NOAH Property Management to drive an increase in net operating income by roughly 65% across the portfolio.
