Crescent’s robust capital deployment, seasoned leadership team, and transformative model of sustainability enable the company to maximize opportunity in a recovering real estate market. Since 1963, the company has focused its land management practices on intended highest and best use, and since 1990 has sold more than 223,500 acres.
In 1939, Duke Power (now Duke Energy) established a forestry department to manage company land not used for power generation. In 1963 this department became the company South Carolina Land and Timber. As the holdings expanded to include land in North Carolina, the organization was renamed Crescent Land and Timber in 1969. Some of the original land was sold to Crescent Land and Timber by the Singer Corporation. In the mid-1980s the company was renamed Crescent Resources as it began to actively develop residential communities. Crescent Resources began work on its first commercial development, Coliseum Centre, in 1990. As of 1991, Crescent Resources managed 270,000 acres of land. Holdings included part of what became Lake James State Park, which it later sold to the state of North Carolina.Crescent Resources became a separate entity from Duke Energy in 2006 with Duke Energy selling its 49% stake to Morgan Stanley. Crescent Resources filed for bankruptcy in 2009 and has emerged from it separated from the utility company. The company aimed to rebrand itself, renaming itself "Crescent Communities" in 2013.
