ONE OF THE CAROLINAS’ TOP builders, McCar Homes is also ranked in the top 50 in the country. Founded 50 years ago in Vidalia, Georgia, McCar prides itself as being “a family building family homes.” Now based in Atlanta, the company is building in both Carolinas and Florida, and Greenville is among its fastest-growing offi ces. “We have to build a great product, but they have to be in locations that are desirable,” says Sales Manager Randy Branham of the company’s commitment to being a part of Greenville’s growth. “In Greenville, you have the mountains two-and-a-half hours north and the beach three hours east. You’re near Atlanta and Charlotte. Greenville has experienced steady growth, and the city planners have done a great job in making sure the infrastructure is in place.” McCar specializes in single-family homes from 1,800 square feet to 4,000 square feet, with prices starting in the mid $150,000s.
