History
In 1939, Duke Power (now Duke Energy) established a forestry department to manage company land not used for power generation. In 1963 this department became the company South Carolina Land and Timber. As the holdings expanded to include land in North Carolina, the organization was renamed Crescent Land and Timber in 1969. Some of the original land was sold to Crescent Land and Timber by the Singer Corporation. In the mid-1980s the company was renamed Crescent Resources as it began to actively develop residential communities. Crescent Resources began work on its first commercial development, Coliseum Centre, in 1990. As of 1991, Crescent Resources managed 270,000 acres of land. Holdings included part of what became Lake James State Park, which it later sold to the state of North Carolina.Crescent Resources became a separate entity from Duke Energy in 2006 with Duke Energy selling its 49% stake to Morgan Stanley. Crescent Resources filed for bankruptcy in 2009 and has emerged from it separated from the utility company. The company aimed to rebrand itself, renaming itself "Crescent Communities" in 2013.

Homebuilding business
In an attempt to take advantage of increasing housing demand in the Southeast, and to further diversify their business operations, Crescent Communities launched a single family homebuilding company in early 2016. The new business, Fielding Homes, sold and closed its first homes in Masons Bend, a Fort Mill, South Carolina community, in 2016. The builder is now active in two additional Charlotte-area communities, Paddlers Cove in Clover, South Carolina near Lake Wylie, and Chapel Cove, a Southwest Charlotte community. Fielding Homes is expanding to the Raleigh market with two additional communities in 2017. The builder will offer homes for sale in Forest Ridge, an established Hillsborough, North Carolina community and in Trinity Creek, a new Crescent Community in sought-after Holly Springs, North Carolina.
