WE’RE CHANGING THE CONVERSATION
KINGSLEY
WE ARE...
ROOTED IN HISTORY
Sometimes, the right elements come together at the right time. With a 5000-employee headquarters across the lake, 40 miles of trails and nature preserve across the road, and direct access to the interstate, The District at Kingsley is not only unique to the Charlotte Market, but will change the conversation of Fort Mill.
A testament to the advertising genius of Col. Elliot White Springs, the Springmaid remains an icon of Springs Industries.

The District at Kingsley is an heirloom project; we are crafting a place that honors past generations by providing a development that will be cherished by generations to come.

THREADS... THE STYLE
Kingsley will be a place unlike any other in the area. With a foot in the future and one foot in the past, we will make a place that is both meaningful and unique to Fort Mill. With such a rich history and promising future, we are carefully weaving materials, styles, spaces, architecture, and landscape to create a unique and differentiated place .
We feel that the most exciting and interesting places are those that are unexpected; the places that change the conversation, and make us think about a place in a new way. That is what we will do at Kingsley.
We are at the intersection of a textile heritage and an information future. This junction provides exciting opportunities for sophisticated, interesting, and vibrant buildings and spaces. It is from our fascinating history, bright future, and confidence in Fort Mill that a unique architecture and landscape will arise.
THE CONTEMPORARY MILL
A style that uses industrial cues to make places for people. Materials, plants and spaces are collaged rather than contrived.

THE YARD
The Yard is the place for block parties, food truck rallies, and market days. Modeled after great social spaces where people are more important than cars, the Yard is where front doors and storefronts spill out into the street. With a hotel, restaurants, retail, offices, and apartments, the Yard is where many uses come together to create a vibrant and lively place.

THE YARD
A textile history meets mixed-use
Inspired by the courtyards of textile mills, the yard is a contemporary space that can quickly shift from mainstreet to festival street. The Yard is special in its use of textile patterns in new and surprising ways. Paving, brickwork, graphics, and lighting will be contemporary interpretations of the Springs textile legacy.

A legacy of conversation changers
White was not only the founder and first president of Fort Mill Manufacturing Company, but also the surveyor who laid the company’s first building and was also its first cotton grader. In his time, He was regarded as the visionary who shaped Fort Mill and York County.
Marrying Captain White’s daughter, Grace Allison White, Springs grew and diversified his father-inlaw’s textile industry to include mercantile houses, banks, insurance, railways, and power companies. The Springs family became one of the largest holders of business in South Carolina.
The only child of Leroy Springs, Elliot White Springs took the reins of Springs Industries after his father’s death. With advertising genius, a quick wit, mechanical aptitude, and incredible vision, he succeeded in modernizing Springs Industries, making it the most profitable corporation in the textile industry.
Baxter was the first New Urban mixed-use community in the Piedmont market. With the vision of Clear Springs Development Company it has grown to be a thriving and premier neighborhood of Fort Mill. The quality of Baxter shows the committment of its Developer/Owners, the Springs-White Family, to the legacy of Fort Mill.
With over 40 miles of trails and 2100 acres of preserved open space, the Anne Springs Close Greenway is a resource unlike any other in the area. This piece of land, a gift to the people of Fort Mill from the Springs Family, ensures that even as the conversation changes, Fort Mill’s voice is unique.
Once again, the Clear Springs Development Company will change the Fort Mill conversation. Kingsley—at full build out—will be home
to over 7,000 jobs. The look, feel, and style of Kingsley will be unique to Fort Mill; it will be the place to live, work, and play in the Piedmont.
