New City Development was formed in 2004 when Shawn Thomas had a vision to take what was a run down hotel at the time know has the Ramada Inn and turn it into downtown Greenville condos.

This vision came before any of the older homes had been taken out up and down South Church St and from around Serrine Stadium or across the street on the Haynie Street side. There was talk about possibly redeveloping the South Church Street area but no actions had taken place by any of the well known developers at that time. Shawn Thomas wanted to step forward and go out on the edge to try and start the transformation of what was once a key piece of the downtown area known as South Church Street. Falls Park was not in place at that time, nor was the Greenville Drive ball field, or the new developments on South Main Street.

During the second year of reconstructing the old Ramamda Hotel into The Brio condos is when Falls Park started to take shape and River Place construction began. Now after many years South Church Street is finally getting the face lift it has much deserved for the past 20 years with the current D.O.T project that should be completed by July of 2012. This will soon be a beautiful key connector for the Downtown Greenville city and thus this where Shawn came up with the name that would be a name to remember in the Greenville Real Estate community New City Development was formed in 2004 and in 2007 it received the Revitalization Award of the Year for the upstate in 2007 by the Greater Greenville Association of Realtors.

As the market slid into a recession New City was able to sell most of the 50 condos at The Brio but then Shawn went back to his focus of what had been very successful to him leading up to The Brio project and he was back looking for smaller residential and commercial investments that were distressed assets. He has continued to buy, renovate, and resell through this tough times as many of the key developers he looked up to have not been able to hang on during these trying real estate times.

New City Development & Real Estate continues to grow as a Development and Real Estate brokerage company and is buying up key future development sites now in the Greenville SC area that will be future development locations. The company continues to stand by its beliefs of Building Relationships, Driving Progress, and Improving Lives and the face of real estate will forever change for the better when New City is a part of the deal....

The returns that New City is able to achieve are not typical and Shawn is always looking to speak with other passive investors who would like to get an amazing return on their investments secured by tangible real estate investments.
