Essentia, spanning 110 acres in Spartanburg County, SC, is a visionary community designed to serve individuals at every stage of life. Anchored by a tuition-free public charter school, Essentia celebrates the legacies of the past, embraces the opportunities of the present, and maximizes future potential. This prototype development embodies a three-generation living model, with the Charter School and Early Learning Center on one end and a senior living village on the other. At the heart of the community, Main Street, The Club, and Village Green along with a variety of pocket parks, create vibrant social hubs all interconnected by a network of walking and bike trails. Essentia offers a community garden, a “wag” bar, various retail and dining options, wellness promoting spas, fitness centers, and medical services. The Vision Group, and its affiliate The Place maker Group along with Paradigm Atlantic Management Group and master developer True North Companies, plays an integral role in the master planning, design, and development of this innovative community, ensuring a cohesive and enriching environment for all residents.
