CHARLOTTE, N.C. & JERICHO, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Beechwood Carolinas, a division of The Beechwood Organization – one of the largest privately-owned developers of single-family homes, multi-family homes and luxury lifestyle communities on the East Coast – marks its second year in North Carolina with notable sales and milestones, including more than 1,100 new construction homes in Charlotte and Chapel Hill, that are framing its bullish outlook for the Carolinas housing market despite higher mortgage rates.
“We’re bullish on the Carolinas. While location is important, and we’re in some of the most desirable Charlotte and Chapel Hill locales, we’re also putting forward concepts that resonate,” says Steven Dubb, Principal, The Beechwood Organization.
“In Charlotte, our buyers have been seeking new construction homes with the right floorplan, in the right neighborhood, at the right price. They work in good jobs or are cash buyers and are ready to make the move. As early adopters of a Beechwood home, all having bought pre-construction off floorplans, we value the trust they have put in our reputation for designing and building fine homes. We are excited to now be delivering to them their dream homes and plan to expand our footprint across the Carolinas in 2024,” adds Mr. Dubb.
Beechwood’s housing concepts in the Charlotte metro-area include estate homes attracting young families to bucolic villages and desirable school districts; and a recreational residential retreat for families of all ages, singles and empty nesters sited on Lake Norman with access to more than a mile of lake waterfront. In Chapel Hill, Beechwood is developing an entire urban neighborhood with 815 market rate and affordable homes for rent and for-sale that are in walking distance to shopping and transit.

Lakeside Pointe is attracting empty nesters, young professionals and families seeking a first- or second-home. Buyers include locals who want to live on the lake; some from Illinois, Ohio and New York coming for the lifestyle and milder winters; and ‘half-backs’ from Florida who once lived up north and want to move half way back.
“There are few waterfront opportunities remaining on Lake Norman, and with events over recent years, people are looking for their own private sanctuary at home where they can enjoy the outdoors and celebrate nature with family and friends. This is a beautiful property with incredible natural features,” says Robert Kardos, Regional President, Beechwood Carolinas.
