Nexton

Nexton is a 5,000-acre master-planned community originally developed by MeadWestvaco and now owned by a subsidiary of North America Sekisui House, LLC (NASH), and managed by Brookfield Properties as part of the Newland communities portfolio. The Broadband Group (TBG) was engaged to lead the Community’s Technology and Telecommunications strategy, as well as to extend planning for the adjacent 72,000-acre East Edisto property.

Development Name: Nexton

Client Since: 2012

Assignment

TBG’s scope encompassed drafting and implementing a comprehensive Technology Master Plan™, establishing pre-development conduit infrastructure standards, and negotiating service provider agreements. These efforts positioned Nexton as South Carolina’s first all-fiber Gigabit Community. In 2013, Brookfield introduced GigaFi at Nexton—a 100% fiber-to-the-home gigabit network—delivered in partnership with Home Telephone Company.

In July 2025 Home Telecom announced Nexton as its first community to access 5-Gbps Residential Internet.
