Covering 2,000 acres at the county’s southern edge, Ballantyne sprung up from farmland in the early 1990’s, and it continues to grow. Ballantyne was owned and developed by the Bissell/Harris family who also developed South Park. The residential portion of Ballantyne was sold to Crescent Resources for residential development and the Bissell Companies developed the commercial side and built most of the Hotels on the massive acreage. The area includes the Ballantyne Country Club community, the five-star Ballantyne Golf Resort and Spa, an 18-hole golf course, a large corporate office park, high end restaurants and shops and dozens of new subdivisions. There’s a YMCA in Ballantyne’s town center, and the Ballantyne Village movie theater building looks like a spaceship.
