Tennessee-based housing developer, EdR, has begun looking to acquire property at the intersection of Main and College streets in order to build a new college-housing building. EdR has been working in the collegiate housing industry since 1964 and has completed more than 30 housing projects — however, none thus far in South Carolina. “We’re interested in looking at property there,” Susan Jennings, EdR’s vice president of corporate communication and marketing, said.
