Dedicated to being responsible stewards of the land, transforming regions, and preserving legacies for generations. "Try to be considerate of people's needs, be absolutely honest, and always deal one on one. Do more than you'll say you'll do. That's the Daniel Way." ~Charlie Daniel
Daniel Communities is built on a legacy of success and guiding principles of Daniel Construction Company founded in
1934 by Charles Daniel in Greenville, South Carolina. In 1964, Daniel Corporation was established to provide a real estate development and investment vehicle for Daniel Construction Company. In 1977, California based Fluor Corporation acquired Daniel to become one of the largest engineering and construction companies in the world. In 1986, senior management acquired the real estate subsidiary of Fluor Daniel, forming the privately held Daniel Corporation. For 30 years, Daniel Corporation was comprised of two operating companies:
- Daniel Communities
- Daniel Commercial (www.danielcorp.com)
In 2016, Daniel Communities transitioned to an independent enterprise focused on masterplanned community, hospitality and resort destination development, management and advisory. Daniel Communities and Daniel Corporation proudly share a heritage as a recognized leader in the real estate industry, and in the business community at large. Dedicated to opportunistic, progressive thinking and a solid work ethic, the company has perpetuated its rich heritage by developing trans-formative communities and vibrant workplaces, strengthening local economies and creating peripheral investment opportunities. These development projects have been distinguished by new approaches to community living and working with Daniel pioneering innovative development practices. That Daniel is responsible for so many unique developments is a testament to the soundness of it principles and long-standing conviction that progress is not achieved by doing what has already been done, but by always seeking a better way. This pursuit of excellence is how Daniel conducts business, and the result is the company's diverse portfolio of award-winning real estate. In its over 50 year history, Daniel has developed, acquired or managed more than:
-26,000 acres of land for master-planned and destination resort communities.
