Real estate deal is the biggest of 2023 in Oconee

The sale of an Oconee student housing complex makes for the largest real estate deal of 2023 in the county, according to Anna Davison, register of deeds.  The deal, amounting to $115 million, creates new ownership of the sprawling Epoch Clemson student housing complex, spread over some 57 acres across highway 123 from the Hartwell Village Shopping Center.  To buy the complex, Alt Student Housing, a Delaware statutory trust, is to pay Epoch Clemson LLC $115 million.  Handling the paperwork is a Chicago area real estate firm, Inland Real Estate of Oak Brook, Illinois.  The larger the sale the larger tax stamp revenue collected by Oconee County.  In this instance, Davison says it will amount to $126,500 – money to go into the county’s treasury.
