Mortgage company jumps NC-SC line with jobs for Fort Mill

A Charlotte mortgage service company will jump the Carolinas border to Fort Mill with plans to eventually grow to 1,100 jobs.

In the process, RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing Corp. will build a $34 million headquarters and will kick off development of Southbridge for Lincoln Harris of Charlotte. It’s the first planned new construction in Southbridge since Lincoln Harris and Cato bought the property that included the Knights Castle site in Fort Mill.

“We’re excited that this is kicking off the park that will bring corporate jobs, good paying jobs, to the county,” says David Swenson, director of the York County Economic Development Board.

Swenson says there’s no reason to be concerned York County is taking valuable jobs for Charlotte by offering higher incentives to jump the state line. “To see a company stay in the market is a win-win,” he says. Communities in both Carolinas competed for the headquarters project, Swenson added.
