Leave a reply

Center Park Group has begun vertical construction on Bristol at Lake Norman, a new 187-home build-to-rent townhome community in Iredell County designed to give residents the space and character of a home with the flexibility of professionally managed rental living. 

Located at the intersection of U.S. Highway 21 and Norman Ridge Lane, Bristol at Lake Norman will span approximately 29.6 acres in the Lake Norman submarket of Charlotte. Developed by The Widewaters Group, the community is scheduled to open in February 2027. 

Construction began in June 2026, with Center Park Group serving as the general contractor. Bristol at Lake Norman will feature two- and three-story townhomes with three- and four-bedroom floor plans ranging from 1,549 to 2,062 square feet. Each home will include two-and-a-half bathrooms and a one- or two-car garage, creating a residential-scale rental option for residents who want more room without the responsibilities of traditional homeownership. 

The homes will feature open-concept floor plans, select dining spaces and direct backyard access, with upgraded finishes including quartz countertops, tile primary showers and Trex decking. Full appliance packages will include refrigerators and in-unit laundry. 

The community itself is designed to reinforce that residential experience. Sidewalks will connect the homes to a clubhouse, resort-style pool, dog park and spa, creating shared spaces that bring the neighborhood together while maintaining the privacy of individual townhomes. 

“Build-to-rent is evolving beyond the traditional apartment model,” said Jason Esposito, CEO of Center Park Group. “Residents want options that give them the freedom of renting without asking them to compromise on space, privacy or the feeling of home. Bristol at Lake Norman is a great example of where the BTR product is headed, and we are proud to bring the community to life alongside The Widewaters Group.” 

“We’re proud to partner with Center Park Group?on Bristol at Lake Norman,” said Eric Candee. VP of development and construction at Widewaters. “Their experience brings the expertise we value in delivering high?quality homes, and we’re excited to introduce a community that offers residents convenient access to employment centers as well as the lifestyle and recreation that make Lake Norman such a desirable place to live.” 

Bristol at Lake Norman adds to Center Park Group’s active build-to-rent construction platform across the Southeast. The company currently has more than 30 communities underway, representing more than 3,000 homes in various stages of development and construction. Its BTR platform combines procurement efficiencies, structured execution and repeatable processes to help developers deliver consistently across communities and markets. 

As the Lake Norman submarket continues to add housing options for residents who want proximity to Charlotte in a more residential setting, Bristol at Lake Norman will introduce a townhome rental option that balances privacy and connectivity.

Cresswind at Rocky River Welcomes First Homeowner

Leave a reply

A new chapter is underway at Cresswind at Rocky River as Kolter Homes welcomes the first homeowner to the 55+ resort lifestyle community in Locust, North Carolina. 

Cresswind at Rocky River is evolving into a place where mornings will begin with movement on the trails, afternoons will unfold on the water or by the pool and evenings will bring neighbors together over dinner or a game of pickleball. 

“This first closing is an exciting milestone because it’s the moment when Cresswind at Rocky River begins transitioning from a community under construction to a community filled with life,” said Josh Donovan, regional vice president at Kolter Homes. “The vision has always been about more than building beautiful homes. It’s about creating a place where residents can pursue their interests, prioritize wellness, build meaningful connections and make every day feel like an opportunity for something new.” 

That spirit of wellness and discovery will continue at Club Cresswind, the community’s resident-exclusive clubhouse and social hub. A full-time lifestyle director will bring the community to life through programming designed around residents’ interests. The clubhouse will feature a fitness center with free weights and a SmartFIT Training Center powered by EGYM, yoga and aerobics studios, an arts and crafts room with a kiln, lounge areas and a social ballroom. 

Outside, engaging activities will encourage residents to spend even more time together. A resort-style pool and sundeck will invite residents to relax and recharge, while more than 30 pickleball courts will provide plenty of opportunities for friendly competition. Whether residents try a new sport, join a club or simply meet a neighbor for a swim, the community will make it easy to turn everyday moments into experiences worth looking forward to. 

Set along the Carolina Thread Trail’s Rocky River Blueway, Cresswind at Rocky River will offer residents an easy way to incorporate nature and movement into everyday life. Flatwater kayaking and canoeing will provide a peaceful way to get out on the water, while manicured sidewalks will create opportunities for a morning walk, an afternoon stroll or simply a chance to enjoy the outdoors close to home. 

Open, light-filled home designs create comfortable spaces for the way residents want to live, whether that means hosting friends for dinner, pursuing a favorite hobby or opening the doors to a covered lanai after a day outdoors. The community’s 10 home designs range from over 1,500 to more than 2,800 square feet, with two to five bedrooms, two to three baths and two- to three-car garages. Select plans offer different personalization options including golf cart garages, second-floor bonus rooms, sunrooms and enclosed patios, depending on the homesite and plan. 

The lifestyle extends beyond the community. Cresswind at Rocky River’s location provides convenient access to local shopping, dining and entertainment, while Uptown Charlotte is less than 30 minutes away for cultural experiences, restaurants, events and travel connections. With the Rocky River Blueway nearby and the energy of Charlotte within easy reach, residents can choose between a quiet day at home and an adventure in the city. 

With its first closing, Cresswind at Rocky River is entering an exciting new chapter. As more residents make the community their home, a vibrant resort lifestyle will unfold through elevated amenities, curated experiences and countless opportunities to connect, unwind and enjoy what’s next.

Located on approximately nine acres along Maybank Highway, the community will provide convenient access to James Island, West Ashley and downtown Charleston, as well as Kiawah and Seabrook islands.
