The seven properties in Riverside Village at risk of bank foreclosure will stay with developer Greenstone Hammond’s Ferry, LLC.

The properties had been listed twice on the Aiken County Master-in-Equity’s foreclosure sale page. Both sales were delayed at the request of the developer and First Community Bank, which held the mortgage.

“Our ownership group paid off the mortgage and thereby extinguished the foreclosure procedure,” said Chris Schoen of the Atlanta-based Greenstone Properties, Inc. “We are working toward hopefully having several of the development parcels under construction by the first quarter of 2022.”

North Augusta City Administrator Jim Clifford said, “The city looks forward to future development at Riverside Village with Greenstone.”

At stake were seven parcels of prime real estate in North Augusta’s “Live, Work, Play” community built along the Savannah River that includes SRP Park, home of the Augusta GreenJackets.
