Perhaps no name has been as synonymous with innovation, quality, peace of mind, and value in the Lowcountry than that of Reed Development. Since the early 1970s, John Reed’s company has played a major role in the development of the Hilton Head Island area, once an undiscovered and unknown region, into a destination that is admired around the world today.

With unparalleled experience, a love of the Lowcountry, a unique vision, and a commitment to uncompromising quality, John set out in 1989 to geographically extend the allure of Hilton Head Island. Moving “off island” into unchartered territory, Reed Development created a series of world-class private communities in the Bluffton, South Carolina area that have achieved over $1 billion in home and homesite sales.

Today, Reed Development is a diversified real estate company managing the planning, development, operation, marketing and sales of master planned communities and their amenities throughout the Hilton Head Island / Bluffton, South Carolina area. The company’s five flagship communities– Colleton River, Belfair, Berkeley Hall, Hampton Hall and Hampton Lake– encompass over 5,200 acres and are a testament to the innovation, creativity and commitment to excellence that are the hallmarks of a Reed community.

In addition to its community development division, Reed has land holdings of approximately 8,000 acres in Jasper and Beaufort counties that include industrial, commercial, mixed-use and residential development potential.
