Teague Talks with David Tart, Raines

Teague Hunter sits down with David, developer and partner at Raines, to talk about his unexpected start in hospitality, his partnership with Grey Raines, and the lessons learned developing through the Great Recession, COVID, and hurricane recovery.   At the center of the conversation is The Lantern Hotel, developed in partnership with the University of South Carolina’s LIFE program, where nearly a third of the team has special needs. David also shares the story behind the restoration of the historic Donald Ross-designed golf course at Waynesville Inn & Golf Club.   It’s a conversation about resilience, partnership, and building businesses where purpose and profit don’t have to compete.
