News Title: National homebuilder Century Communities enters the Grand Strand market with Cates Bay Crossing in Conway
Century Communities, Inc. (NYSE: CCS) is one of the nation’s largest homebuilders and a top 10 national builder in both total closings and gross revenues.  Century Communities offers new homes under the Century Communities and Century Complete brands (in 2020, the subsidiary Wade Jurney Homes became Century Complete).   Century Communities is engaged in all aspects of homebuilding — including the acquisition, entitlement and development of land, along with the construction, innovative marketing and sale of quality homes designed to appeal to a wide range of homebuyers.  The Company operates in 16 states and over 45 markets across the U.S., and also offers mortgage, title, insurance brokerage, and escrow services in select markets through its Inspire Home Loans, Parkway Title, IHL Home Insurance Agency, and IHL Escrow subsidiaries.

Century Communities operates two distinct homebuilding brands, each designed to serve different segments of the new home market. The company’s traditional Century Communities brand is focused on providing buyers with greater flexibility, personalization, and opportunities for customization throughout the homebuilding process. In contrast, Century Complete is the company’s value-oriented brand, designed to simplify the new home buying experience by offering streamlined designs, efficient construction, and affordable pricing options.

The new home community of Cates Bay Crossing in Conway is being developed under the Century Complete brand and will mark the company’s first Century Complete new home community in Horry County.  Cates Bay Crossing is planned to include approximately 95 single-family homes situated on an approximately 48-acre parcel, offering buyers an opportunity to own a new construction home in the growing Conway market.  Conveniently located off Cates Bay Highway, Cates Bay Crossing benefits from easy access to Conway’s schools, shopping, dining, and major transportation routes while providing residents with the appeal of a new community setting.

There are several other new home communities near Cates Bay Crossing that are either currently under development or being planned:
Cates Bay Crossing introduces a new opportunity for homebuyers in Conway seeking thoughtfully designed, affordable new construction homes with modern features and flexible living options.  Cates Bay Crossing will offer a collection of spacious four-bedroom floor plans featuring open-concept designs that seamlessly connect the kitchen, dining, and living areas—creating inviting spaces ideal for everyday living, entertaining, and gathering with family and friends.  Each home is expected to showcase stylish finishes throughout, including quartz countertops, white cabinetry, and contemporary details that provide a clean, timeless look.

One of the standout features of Cates Bay Crossing is the variety of home designs available, including multiple ranch-style floor plans and select options with three-car garages—features that are not commonly found among similarly priced new home communities in the Conway market.  Whether buyers prefer the convenience and accessibility of single-level living or need additional garage space for vehicles, storage, or hobbies, Century Complete is offering a range of options designed to accommodate different lifestyles while maintaining affordability.

As of August 2026, the preliminary floor plans being offered by Century Complete at Cates Bay Crossing include:

A versatile flex room located near the front of the home provides additional functionality and can easily serve as a home office, formal dining room, playroom, or hobby space to accommodate a variety of lifestyles.  Upstairs, the Essex is designed with privacy and convenience in mind, featuring all four bedrooms, including a generous owner's suite complete with a walk-in closet and private bathroom with dual vanities.
