Charles Fraser, the visionary developer of Sea Pines Plantation on Hilton Head Island, bought land at Point South in the mid to late 1960s in anticipation of Interstate 95 that was built through the area between 1965 and 1980. Fraser’s plan for a unique commercial development at Point South recognized the area’s unique location as a crossroads of the Lowcountry, at the intersection of Interstate 95 and Highway 17.
