SW+ has a diverse portfolio at a variety of scales in both the public and private sectors, including mixed-use commercial developments, urban and suburban multifamily, healthcare, office, high-end resort, and parks and recreation projects.

With over 200 employees and offices in Mount Pleasant, Greenville, Summerville, Spartanburg, and Columbia, SC, as well as Charlotte and Raleigh, NC, SW+ inspires employees to stand behind its tagline, "Elevating the site design experience." Company culture is at the core of who we are. SW+ offers a mentorship program and other professional growth opportunities.
