Rock Hill area’s million-dollar land sales: data center company, schools and ... a 7-Eleven?
The biggest Rock Hill region property sales in July include a land sale for a new school in Indian Land, a data center site in Lake Wylie, Fort Mill homes and restaurants.
County land records show several large transactions spread across York and Lancaster counties. They vary considerably, and include many individual home sales.
Here’s a look at the most recent, big purchases:

Immediately south of those sites, York County on July 11 sold 130 acres at 5805 Campbell Road, just west of Allison Creek Presbyterian Church, for more than $4.3 million.
County records show party of the same property being sold to Project Cobra, an economic development proposal working its way through county approvals now. But county officials haven’t yet identified the company involved in what could be a billion-dollar project by name.
Do recent land transactions point to $1 billion Project Cobra deal in York County?
