“As Movement Mortgage works toward our goal of financing ten percent of new home loans in the United States in the next ten years, we need national headquarters that give us room to grow while maintaining the high levels of employee care, customer service and community investment that define us. Lancaster County, South Carolina, provides that room to grow, and we look forward to calling the region home.”

– Movement Mortgage Co-Founder & CEO Casey Crawford

"I've never been more excited about the future of Red Ventures than I am today. This is more than a building; this is Red Ventures putting an 180,000 square-foot stake in the ground for meaningful, long term growth right here in South Carolina. This is a bet that the best is yet to come. And I truly believe that."

– Red Ventures CEO Rick Elias

“The new campus will improve efficiency and integration of our teams by consolidating our operations into fewer buildings and providing a superior work environment for our associates, ultimately benefitting the patients we serve. We are delighted that we were able to find the ideal site for our new headquarters right here in the greater Charlotte region, and The Lash Group looks forward to enjoying continued growth and success here in South Carolina.”
