Our roots lie in textiles, but our reach extends much further
Sometimes, the right elements come together at the right time. With multiple corporate headquarters, close proximity to the 2,300 acre Anne
Springs Close Greenway, and direct access to the interstate, Kingsley is unique to the Charlotte Market, and will change the conversation of Fort Mill.
A testament to the advertising genius of Col.
Elliot White Springs, the Spring Maid remains an icon of Springs Industries.

PHOTO
Our customer is looking for the next great place to take their friends to dinner, a concert to enjoy on Friday night, or somewhere to go out for a date. They are not only looking for a location, they are looking for a “place” where the lifestyle matches who they want to be.
Our customers may range from mid-20s to retirees, but the importance of family is a common theme. From grand- parents to uncles and close friends to cousins, our customer desires a place where many ages are welcome.
Our customer is interested in what’s new and fresh.
Originality and style are important. We will inspire
Fort Mill with creative retailers and stylish restaurants.
Sophistication does not mean stuffy. Our customer recognizes quality and craft. From architecture to food, our customer carefully curates their life’s experiences.
Our customer craves an experience that is not only about appearance, but also about comfort. They are relaxed yet sophisticated, desiring a contemporary expression of casual.
City research by the United Nations projects that Charlotte will grow the fastest among United States cities from 2010 to 2030. This type of enormous growth will likely mean that nearby areas will urbanize as well. This positions Kingsley as a multi-use development with tremendous projected need.

Kingsley will be a place unlike any other in the area. With one foot in the future and one foot in the past, we will make a place that is both meaningful and unique to Fort Mill. With such a rich history and promising future, we are carefully weaving materials, styles, spaces, architecture, and landscape to create a unique and differentiated place .
We feel that the most exciting and interesting places are those that are unexpected; the places that change the conversation, and make us think about a place in a new way. That is what we will do at Kingsley.
We are at the intersection of a textile heritage and an information future.
This junction provides exciting opportunities for sophisticated, interesting, and vibrant buildings and spaces. It is from our fascinating history, bright future, and confidence in Fort Mill that a unique architecture and landscape will arise.
A style that uses industrial cues to make places for people.
Materials, plants and spaces are collaged rather than contrived.

B roadcloth Commons is the place for block parties and market days. Modeled after great social spaces where people are more important than cars, this is where front doors and storefronts spill out into the street. With a hotel, restaurants, retail, offices, and apartments, Broadcloth Commons is where many uses come together to create a vibrant and lively place.

A textile history meets mixed-use
Inspired by the courtyards of textile mills,
Broadcloth Commons is a contemporary space that can quickly shift from main street to festival street. Broadcloth Commons is special in its use of textile patterns in new and surprising ways. Paving, brickwork, graphics, and lighting will be contemporary interpretations of the Springs textile legacy.

Nods to Kingsley’s heritage and a graphic style for the future.
Kingsley has not just taken a generations-old family namesake, but will infuse the story of the Springs/Close legacy throughout the project. In Kingsley, graphics are not just about signage for tenants, but a rich collection of murals, plaques, and accents that tell a story about the legacy of this development. With the logo as an artistic cotton boll, and weaving as a motif for paving, patterns, and finishes, Kingsley uses ornament as a means to celebrate the past.

A legacy of conversation changers
CAPT. SAMUEL ELLIOTT
White was not only the founder and first president of Fort Mill Manufacturing
Company, but also the surveyor who laid the company’s first building and was also its first cotton grader. In his time, he was regarded as the visionary who shaped
Fort Mill and York County.
COL. LEROY
Marrying Captain White’s daughter, Grace Allison
White, Springs grew and diversified his father-inlaw’s textile industry to include mercantile houses, banks, insurance, railways, and power companies. The
Springs family became one of the largest holders of business in South Carolina.
COL. ELLIOTT WHITE
The only child of Leroy
Springs, Elliot White Springs took the reins of Springs
Industries after his father’s death. With advertising genius, a quick wit, mechanical aptitude, and incredible vision, he succeeded in modernizing Springs
Industries, making it the most profitable corporation in the textile industry.
THE VILLAGE OF
Built on Springs family land,
Baxter was the first New
Urban mixed-use community in the Piedmont market. With the vision of Clear Springs
Development Company it has grown to be a thriving and premier neighborhood of Fort Mill. The quality of Baxter shows the commitment of its Developer/
Owners, the Springs-Close
Family, to the legacy of
Fort Mill.
ANNE SPRINGS CLOSE
With over 40 miles of trails and 2300 acres of preserved open space, the Anne Springs
Close Greenway is a resource unlike any other in the area.
This piece of land is a gift to the people of Fort Mill from the Close Family. Even as Fort
Mill continues to grow, the
Close family’s dedication to preservation remains.
Once again, the Clear Springs
Development Company will change the Fort Mill conversation. Kingsley—at full build out—will be home to over 5,000 jobs and
1.5 million square feet of commercial space. The look, feel, and style of Kingsley will be unique to Fort Mill; it will be the place to live, work, and play in the Piedmont.
