More than half of the 24 million-dollar property sales last month in the Rock Hill region were for homes or new home lots. That list includes a $3 million sale in Lake Wylie.

Other big sales involve industrial buildings, mobile home parks and commercial property. But there’s a heavy residential theme.

Here’s a look at the biggest January transactions, according to land records in York, Lancaster and Chester counties:

▪ Merlo America bought almost 7 acres of industrial property with three buildings in Rock Hill. The $7.2 million Jan. 11 sale involves the former Terex and Hydra Platforms site at 1205 Galleria Blvd. The buildings combine for more than 48,000 square feet east of Interstate 77 and south of Dave Lyle Boulevard.

▪ Lennar Carolinas bought two properties in York for $6.2 million on Jan. 2. The Cannon Village neighborhood parcels combine for about 64 acres. The vacant property is at the end of Fifth Street, west of Alexander Love Highway. It butts up against York Recreation Complex ball fields.

▪ Two Old York Road properties in Rock Hill sold on Jan. 9 for $4.2 million. RP Miller Pond out of Chattanooga, Tennessee, is the new owner. The parcels sit at the corner of Old York and Miller Pond roads, just west of the Walmart shopping center. They combine for 38 acres. Online marketing plans show homes, townhomes and retail outparcels not far from Aspen Business Park.

▪ A combination of 29 Fort Mill properties sold Jan. 16 for almost $3.9 million. The Monument Point Circle, Virginia Trail Court, Turkey Roost Road and Runner Stone Lane addresses are part of the Elizabeth subdivision. Lennar Homes is selling new construction there in the $383,000 to $667,000 range. The sale moved the property from one Lennar entity to another, a step just ahead of final sales to new homeowners.
