Fischer Homes Expands Triangle Footprint with 1,200+ Homesites and Growing Luxury Presence

Leave a reply

Fischer Homes, the nation’s 10th largest private homebuilder, is significantly expanding its footprint across the Triangle as competition for residential land intensifies throughout one of the Southeast’s fastest-growing housing markets. 

The privately held builder now controls more than 1,200 homesites across Wake, Johnston, and Harnett counties, positioning the company for continued growth as population gains and limited housing inventory continue reshaping development patterns across the region. 

The expansion reflects a broader shift among national builders toward high-growth corridors both inside and outside central Wake County, where rising demand and continued in-migration are accelerating residential development activity. 

Since entering the Triangle market, Fischer Homes has focused on strategic land acquisition, long-term community investment, and expansion into both thriving and emerging suburban markets. The company is actively pursuing additional finished lot opportunities and raw land acquisitions throughout the region. 

“We continue to see strong long-term fundamentals across the Triangle, in both core Wake communities and emerging growth corridors surrounding Wake County,” said Steve Whaley, Market President for Fischer Homes Raleigh Division. “Our private ownership structure allows us to invest through market cycles and take a long-term approach to land acquisition and community development. With more than 1,200 homesites already under control, we believe the Triangle remains one of the strongest growth opportunities for homebuilding in the Southeast.” 

The company is also seeing early momentum in the region’s luxury housing segment. At Watson at Flowers Plantation in Johnston County, Fischer Homes has already recorded multiple home sales exceeding $1 million, underscoring growing buyer demand for luxury new-construction housing beyond Raleigh’s urban core. 

Later this year, Fischer Homes plans to launch Leeland Farms, a new community in northern Harnett County near the Wake County line. The development is expected to further extend the company’s reach into one of the Triangle’s fastest-growing residential corridors. Fischer Homes has launched an online VIP interest list ahead of the community opening. 

In addition to its regional expansion, Fischer Homes continues to receive national recognition for home design and product innovation. The builder was recently recognized at both the NAHB International Builders’ Show and the Builder 100 Conference, including this year’s 2026 Concept Home in partnership with Zonda. Locally, the company also earned Best Floorplan honors during the Johnston County Parade of Homes. 

As builders compete aggressively for land positions across the Triangle, Fischer Homes’ continued expansion highlights the sustained demand for new housing throughout the region and the increasing importance of suburban growth markets surrounding Raleigh.

Center Park Group Breaks Ground on The Radler Townhomes in Summerville, SC

Leave a reply

Center Park Group, a leading general contractor and home builder specializing in build-to-rent (BTR) development across the Southeast, announces that it has broken ground on The Radler Townhomes, a 114-unit rental home community in the Town of Summerville, South Carolina. The project is situated near the intersection of Interstate 26 and U.S. Route 17, approximately 24 miles northwest of downtown Charleston. 

Vertical construction is scheduled to begin in August 2026, and project completion is expected in Q4 2027. Center Park Group is the general contractor for the townhomes and community amenities, which are being built for Woodfield Development. 

The Radler Townhomes will feature three-story townhomes, delivering a mix of flexible floor plans with two to four bedrooms, up to three-and-a-half bathrooms and 1,788 to 2,401 square feet of modern living space. Some homes will also include private yards, adding desirable outdoor living space. Interiors will feature quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances, while walk-in closets and one- or two-car garages provide additional storage and functionality. 

“We’re proud to partner with Woodfield Development on The Radler Townhomes, a project that reflects their vision for thoughtfully designed rental housing and the growing demand for well-located homes in Summerville,” said Jason Esposito, President of Center Park Group. “In high-growth markets like Charleston, build-to-rent continues to play a critical role in addressing housing supply constraints. Woodfield selected Center Park Group for our ability to deliver residential product, but with the discipline and standards of a commercial contractor. Our approach combines the efficiency of large-scale homebuilding, institutional-grade systems, cost control and execution consistency, resulting in a more predictable, cost-effective outcome for our partners. It’s a model built on trust, industry expertise, and long-standing relationships across the Southeast.”  

The Charleston region continues to see population and job growth fueled by logistics, port activity, healthcare and advanced manufacturing, along with continued in-migration across the Southeast. As housing demand outpaces supply in several submarkets, professionally managed rental housing has become an increasingly important sector of the region’s housing landscape. Summerville remains a key growth corridor, offering proximity to major employment centers along Interstate 26 while maintaining access to retail, schools and lifestyle amenities. The Nexton master-planned community has become a focal point for residential development, emphasizing connectivity, walkability and integrated neighborhood design. 

Many of today’s renters want flexibility and convenience, with homes that offer the space and feel of single-family living without the maintenance, cost or long-term commitment of homeownership. Woodfield’s Radler Townhome development adds this much-needed housing supply in Summerville, one of the Southeast’s most active housing markets.

Center Park Group is a Charleston, South Carolina–based general contractor and home builder specializing in build-to-rent (BTR) development across the Southeast. The company partners with regional developers, institutional investors and publicly traded REITs to deliver purpose-built rental communities with a focus on predictable execution, durable construction, and scalable delivery.
