Tradition Hilton Head Celebrates ‘Harvest of Values Home Tour’

Tradition Hilton Head announced its Harvest of Values Home Tour on Oct. 24, 25 and 26 here.

Hundreds of families and couples toured many of the eco-friendly showcase homes by preferred builders, were presented video plans for the 5,300-acre, master-planned, sustainable green community and its all-inclusive Town Village, and participated in complimentary golf clinics given by acclaimed PGA Professional David Wilding and his Tradition National Golf Course staff.

“We want to thank all of our neighbors and visitors to the Lowcountry for touring Tradition Hilton Head and learning more about its green sustainable master-planned community,” said General Manager Bob Swift.

Tradition Hilton Head’s green homes are energy-efficient and will save homeowners money in heating, cooling and irrigation costs, Swift said. Plus, a green home retains and increases their values over time, he said.

“Plus, green sustainable living is the way to go in protecting and living in harmony with the environment,” Swift said.

Wilding, Tradition National Golf Course’s Director of Golf, said he was pleased to offer the complimentary golf clinics.

“Tradition National Golf Course was able to showcase its 35-acre practice facility and six-hole par three course by offering complimentary golf clinics given by myself and our apprentice PGA Professional Steven Lewis,” Wilding said. “The clinics were offered on both Saturday and Sunday, twice daily. Due to the popularity of our facility, more clinics will be coming along in the future.”

Bob Swift Named General Manager For Core Communities’ Tradition Hilton Head

Hardeeville, SC -- Core Communities has announced Bob Swift as General Manager of Tradition Hilton Head, its 5,300-acre master-planned community here.

Swift brings more than 25 years of experience in development, marketing and management of high end recreational and residential master-planned communities of which several have been nationally recognized for their environmentally responsible development.

“Bob’s record of achievements in our industry is significant,” said Core Communities’ President, Pete Hegener. “We are looking forward to him building upon the recent successes of our South Carolina community.”

Swift assumes the responsibilities of David Page, who leaves Tradition Hilton Head to take another position with Core Communities, which is headquartered in St. Lucie, FL.

“I’m looking forward to this tremendous opportunity and challenge,” said Swift. “Tradition Hilton Head is positioned to be a truly remarkable sustainable community that may one day be known as being among the best planned developments of its time.”

Much of Swift’s experience has been focused on environmentally responsive development and management. He coordinated the development of Indian River Club in Vero Beach, FL with its strong emphasis on environmental preservation. As a result, the Club was one of the first to receive Audubon International’s highest certification as a “Signature Sanctuary.”

Swift was later co-founder and CEO of The Audubon Partnership for Sustainability, a not-for-profit advisory firm which provides direction and leadership for sustainable real estate development practices. His motto then, as now is: “Good environmental sense always makes good economic sense.”

A native of Charlottesville, VA, Swift and his wife, Macy, currently live in Camden, SC and are looking forward to “getting settled quickly in the South Carolina Lowcountry.” They are proud owners of four retrievers.
