Walton Global Expands Portfolio with South Carolina Growth 1 DST

New land offering to support residential development in North Augusta, South Carolina

 

Walton Global, a leader in global real-estate investment and land-asset management, today announced the launch of its South Carolina Growth 1 – Martintown Road DST project. The offering comprises approximately 130 acres in the North Augusta, S.C. area that lies along a major growth corridor of the Augusta, GA region.

Located along Interstate 20 as it enters South Carolina, Martintown Road is within a fifteen-minute drive of downtown Augusta and Augusta National Golf Club. The development enjoys strategic proximity to both existing and planned infrastructure, and is positioned to benefit from strong demographic and market fundamentals driven by population growth, civic support, access to quality schools and expanding employment bases. Plans call for a mixed-use development comprised of 237 single-family homes and approximately 5–6 acres of commercial space that may include medical-office buildings and upscale retail aligned with the city’s vision.

Across the intersection lies The Hive, a curated mixed-use development of retail, hospitality and office that is scheduled to open in 2026. This validates not only demand in the region, but also future access to amenities for prospective residents of the Martintown Road community.

“Martintown Road offers investors a rare, high-visibility entry point into one of the Southeast’s most dynamic and expanding markets,” said Michael Slavotinek, Executive Vice President, Real Estate, East Region at Walton Global. “With a three-to-four-year hold period this project presents a compelling opportunity that combines solid fundamentals, committed developer partners and strategic positioning within a rapidly growing corridor.”

Since March 2023, Walton’s DST program has emphasized all-equity growth opportunities. This strategy seeks to provide potentially greater returns for investors through a focused approach that circumvents many of the constraints of conventional financing – including extended hold periods and leverage-related risk.

With this latest launch, Walton Global reinforces its commitment to disciplined land acquisition and development that serves the local housing market by delivering high-quality residential options in growth-oriented regions. This project illustrates the company’s strategic aim of supporting long-term regional expansion through thoughtful real-estate development.

Walton Global is also pleased to announce its new Managing Broker-Dealer relationship with ARKap Mkts, with the Martintown Road Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) marking the first offering launched through this partnership.

This collaboration supports Walton’s ongoing efforts to expand distribution through firms that share its focus on providing institutional-quality real estate investment offerings to accredited investors. Walton and ARKap Mkts are currently working together on a potential second DST offering in Colorado, anticipated to launch by the end of this year, which would represent an additional step in the firm’s broader national growth strategy.
