Three significant housing developments are happening in South Mississippi.

1. Arbor Properties expanded its "The Great Southern" project in Gulfport with a new site acquisition, which connects it to the former golf course. The plan includes nearly 500 home sites, a swimming pool, pickleball courts and a remodeled clubhouse.

2. In Bay St. Louis, planners completed the 124 Court Condominiums. Residents get to live in upscale units near shops, a new Amtrak station and the beach. The site once housed the Sea Coast Echo newspaper.

3. Cotita Holdings is planning a mixed-use development on the former Cornerstone and Cotita’s restaurant site. Demolition has cleared the way for potential partnerships to enhance the property, allowing for residential and commercial integration.
