Development began in 1995 on 243 acres, transforming former farmland into a meticulously planned village. It quickly gained national recognition as a model for New Urbanism, emphasizing pedestrian-friendly streets, mixed-use zoning, and a strong civic core. Over the decades, I'On has evolved into one of Mount Pleasant's most sought-after addresses, maintaining its original architectural integrity and community-focused design, influencing subsequent developments across the region.
