Developed in 1956 by Yale graduate Charles Fraser, The Sea Pines Resort established the first eco-planned resort destination and the model for upscale resort communities in the United States. From the beginning, Fraser determined that at least 25 percent of the resort acreage would remain undeveloped and none of the buildings would surpass the height of the tallest magnolia or oak tree. Other resort developments by Fraser include Kiawah Island Resort and Amelia Island Plantation.
