Leave a reply

Center Park Group, a Southeast general contractor specializing in build-to-rent (BTR) communities, recently completed One West End, an 86-townhome community in Charlotte, North Carolina. Developed in partnership with Gordon Road Capital, the project expands Charlotte’s supply of purpose-built rental housing while showcasing Center Park Group’s specific expertise in delivering build-to-rent communities in high-growth markets. 

Center Park Group served as the general contractor for the homes and all community amenities at One West End. Final units were just completed this summer, and the community has already reached 92% occupancy. 

“We’re proud to partner with Gordon Road Capital to bring another rental option to the Charlotte market,” said Jason Esposito, CEO of Center Park Group. “Completing One West End reflects our team’s commitment to delivering predictable outcomes for our partners and high-quality communities for residents. As build-to-rent continues to grow across the Southeast, developers need construction partners with the experience, systems and discipline to deliver BTR communities at scale, and we’ve built our GC platform to do just that.” 

Located at 2701 Rozzelles Ferry Road, One West End offers two- and three-bedroom townhomes ranging from 1,360 to 1,673 square feet. Homes feature open-concept floor plans, attached two-car garages, private balconies, quartz countertops and two-and-a-half to three-and-a-half bathrooms. Residents also enjoy a resort-style pool, cabana, direct access to the Charlotte Greenway System, a dog park and rooftop terraces that encourage connection while enhancing the overall resident experience.  

“One West End reflects what we have set out to build across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast – well designed, professionally managed and high-quality homes in locations that people actually want to live,” said Justin Coulter, co-founder of Gordon Road Capital. “Reaching 92% occupancy in just under a year illustrates the depth of demand for our product. We’re actively pursuing additional build-to-rent opportunities across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, and our success would not be possible without great partners like the team at Center Park Group.” 

Less than 15 minutes from Charlotte Douglas International Airport, One West End offers convenient access to Uptown Charlotte, South End and the city’s major sporting and entertainment destinations. Its central location and thoughtfully designed homes help meet continued demand for high-quality build-to-rent housing in one of the Southeast’s fastest-growing metropolitan areas.
