Who is Vince Graham?

Vince Graham is founder and president of the I’On Group based in Charleston, South Carolina. The purpose of the I’On Group is to make the world a more beautiful place through the creation of enduring aesthetic, economic, and social value. It strives to accomplish this by building new neighborhoods and redeveloping existing urban fabric.

Vince moved to the South Carolina Lowcountry in 1989. He was deeply inspired by the beauty and social cohesion of Beaufort, and impressed by the property values of renovated homes in its historic district and those of nearby Charleston and Savannah. Combining modern advances with time-tested urban principles, he founded the traditional walking neighborhood of Newpoint in 1991. Since that time he has participated in building seven other neighborhoods including the Village of Port Royal, Broad Street, I’On, Morris Square, Hammonds Ferry, and Mixson in South Carolina; and East Beach in Virginia.

Vince serves on the Board of Charleston Moves, the Coastal Conservation League, East Cooper Planning Council, Lowcountry Housing Trust, Riley Institute for Urban Affairs, and Upstate Forever.
