Homesense Takes Anchor Space at Sea Turtle Marketplace in Hilton Head, SC, Market Debut and First Store Planned in South Carolina for New TJX Brand
Charlotte’s Providence Group Brokers Nearly 30K SF Deal for Retailer and Landlord, Greenberg Gibbons, which Acquired Community Retail Center in 2022

Charlotte, NC, November 14, 2023 – The Providence Group, a Charlotte-based retail real estate brokerage firm, executed a roughly 29,000-square-foot anchor lease with Homesense at Sea Turtle Marketplace in Hilton Head, SC. The newly redeveloped 100,000-squre-foot community center is located in the heart of Hilton Head Island’s retail corridor.
The Providence Group’s Melissa McDonald represented the tenant, while The Providence Group’s Darrell Palasciano and Matt Henry represented the landlord, Maryland-based Greenberg Gibbons.
The Providence Group’s Palasciano said, “The redevelopment of Sea Turtle Marketplace will continue to attract best in class retailers, restaurants and services to the Hilton Head and Bluffton region. With a robust seasonal market and expanding year-round population, Hilton Head visitors and residents seek new and dynamic retail experiences at which to shop, dine and visit. Our newest retailers, Golf Galaxy and Homesense, fill two retail categories that are perfectly programmed to serve the needs of the market.”

The Homesense brand is new to the market and the Sea Turtle Marketplace location will be the first in South Carolina when it makes its debut in Spring 2024. Greenberg Gibbons purchased the property in 2022 and this is the second major anchor announcement since its acquisition after Golf Galaxy joined earlier in 2023. The Providence Group expects the third and final anchor announcement in the coming months.
The site at 430 William Hilton Pkwy. offers high visibility and access along a key retail corridor where nearly 35,000 vehicles pass each day. The island attracts more than 2.5 million visitors annually.
