With years of experience developing Myrtle Beach Resorts, including one for Wyndham Vacation Ownership, HGVC is excited to work with Strand Capital Group on this project. This will be Strand’s 15th high-rise tower project and their second project with HGVC.

President of Hilton Grand Vacations, Mark Wang said, “Inspired by the tremendous success of our initial collaborative relationship with Strand Capital Group, Hilton Grand Vacations Club at Anderson Ocean Club, we are proud to introduce a sequel location in Myrtle Beach. We are confident that our ongoing collaboration with Strand will further strengthen our Hilton presence within this thriving region.”

Named for its location, Ocean 22 is located at Myrtle Beach’s North Ocean Boulevard and 22nd Avenue. The proposed dimensions for Ocean 22 will make it the tallest resort in Myrtle Beach. Projected to stand at 240 feet tall, the Ocean 22 will offer 24 floors of luxury timeshare accommodations.

Principal Partner with Strand Capital Group, Patrick Lowe commented, “We are pleased to yet again engage with Hilton Grand Vacations in bringing another first-class timeshare resort to the Myrtle Beach area.”

Construction is already underway on the tower and is expected to be complete in the summer of 2015. A total of 220 timeshare condos will be available for purchase, renting, and exchange. A variety of options will be available to HGVC members including one-, two-, and three-bedroom units. Units will feature either an ocean view or oceanfront balcony.

The resort ground will feature an indoor and outdoor pool, hot tub, fitness center, poolside bar, resort bar, quick service dining options, and a children’s play area. Overlooking the sands of Myrtle Beach, guests will have easy access to the beach through the resort.
