Center Park Group, a Southeast-based general contractor specializing in build-to-rent (BTR) construction, has completed The Rosemoor, a 222-home rental townhome community developed by Canvas Residential Partners at 250 Foster Drive in McDonough, Georgia. The 27-acre community is now leasing. 

Center Park Group served as general contractor for the project, with vertical construction starting in mid-2024. The company delivered 222 two-story townhomes across 38 buildings, with the first homes turned over for leasing in early 2025.  

“Our job on The Rosemoor was to hand Canvas Residential Partners a predictable outcome: 222 homes built to one standard, on a schedule they could lease against,” said Jason Esposito, CEO of Center Park Group. “That’s exactly what our team is built to do. We give development partners a known cost, a schedule they can lease against and the same result on the next community in the next market. The Rosemoor is that model working end to end.” 

The homes range from 1,309 to 1,712 square feet in two- and three-bedroom plans, with one- and two-car garages, smart home features, quartz countertops, open-concept kitchens and, in select layouts, private fenced yards. The gated community also offers residents a swimming pool, fitness center, clubhouse, dog park, playground, and outdoor kitchen and dining areas.

Delivering a community of this size on a leasing schedule requires sequencing hundreds of individual deliveries. Center Park Group built The Rosemoor on a repeatable production model: standardized plans across all 38 buildings, early buyout and volume procurement of major materials and a subcontractor bench developed across seven Southeast markets. Buildings were turned over in phases, so leasing could begin before the final homes were complete. 

The Rosemoor is one of a growing number of Southeast BTR communities using townhome product to offer renters more space than a conventional apartment without the commitment of ownership, a format that has expanded rapidly in suburban Atlanta submarkets like Henry County, where Interstate 75 access supports commuters throughout the metro.

Housing demand is shifting, and build-to-rent communities are stepping up to meet it.

Center Park Group, in partnership with Canvas Residential Partners, LLC, has completed construction on Marglyn at Matthews, a 73-home build-to-rent townhome community located in one of the Charlotte area’s fastest-growing suburbs.

The completed project reflects a broader trend: strong and sustained demand for professionally managed rental housing across high-growth markets in the Southeast. As more renters seek the space and privacy of a single-family-style home without the commitment of ownership, build-to-rent communities like Marglyn at Matthews are proving to be a compelling answer.

Located in Matthews, NC, a suburb experiencing rapid population and economic growth, the community is well-positioned to serve residents looking for quality housing backed by professional management, with easy access to the greater Charlotte metro.

This latest completion underscores Center Park Group and Canvas Residential Partners’ continued investment in the build-to-rent sector, and signals confidence in the long-term strength of Southeast rental markets.

Center Park Group, a Southeast general contractor specializing in build-to-rent (BTR) communities, announces the completion of Marglyn at Matthews, a 73-unit townhome community in Matthews, North Carolina.

Serving as general contractor for developer Canvas Residential Partners, Center Park Group built both the townhomes and amenities, adding another purpose-built rental community to one of the Charlotte area’s fastest-growing suburban markets. Vertical construction began in July 2024 and completed in June 2026.

“As build-to-rent evolves from an emerging product type into a long-term housing strategy, consistent execution becomes even more important,” said Jason Esposito, CEO of Center Park Group. “Developers need construction partners that can deliver the same level of quality and predictability from one project to the next. That’s the standard we strive to deliver every day.”

“Center Park Group continues to demonstrate the execution, attention to detail and quality that make it a trusted partner for Canvas Residential Partners,” said Creighton Call, Managing Partner of Canvas Residential Partners. “This was another successful community delivered by our teams to meet the housing needs of renters in the Charlotte MSA, and we are excited to continue our partnership, with 11 BTR communities now complete or under construction alongside the Center Park Group team.”

Marglyn at Matthews includes 73 two-story townhomes across 16 residential buildings. Floor plans range from approximately 1,588 to 1,748 square feet and feature three- and four-bedroom layouts, two-and-a-half bathrooms, attached two-car garages, open-concept living spaces, designer lighting fixtures and quartz countertops. Residents also enjoy a centralized greenspace, sidewalks and a community garden designed to encourage outdoor living and neighborly connection.

Located at 1748 Marglyn Drive near Interstate 485 and U.S. Highway 74, the community offers residents convenient access to downtown Matthews, Uptown Charlotte and the broader Charlotte corridor, along with nearby shopping, dining, parks and everyday services. Its location also places residents within easy reach of major regional employers and commuter routes, making it well suited for renters seeking suburban convenience with urban connectivity.

Marglyn at Matthews reflects Center Park Group’s continued momentum across the Southeast as the company partners with developers to deliver single-family, cottage and townhome rental communities that meet growing demand for high-quality housing.

Progress is moving fast at Lexington Groves, and vertical construction is now officially underway.

Developed by Canvas Residential Partners, LLC, this 70-unit rental home community broke ground last month in Charlotte, NC. Center Park Group is proud to serve as the builder for the homes, bringing the project from the ground up.

Roughly five acres of land slated for townhomes in midtown Wilmington recently changed hands for nearly $11 million.

Pulte Home Company LLC purchased the 5.2-acre site inside The Pointe at Barclay for $10.8 million, according to a deed recorded March 20. Homebuilder Pulte Homes plans to build a 72-unit townhome community, called the Barclay Townes at The Pointe, on the property located near the intersection of Independence and Gallery Park boulevards.

Eric Korsten, president of the Pulte Group’s East Carolina Division, said the land acquisition is a milestone for the project. The firm got involved in the townhome plans in early 2025 after bidding on the developer-driven deal, Korsten said.

“We’re generally looking for A-located deals that really speak to the consumer, give them a great lifestyle and sense of community,” he said. “I mean this being within The Pointe, with the movie theater, the restaurants, in a strong location within greater Wilmington, it’s just a fantastic opportunity.”

Pulte purchased the site from CC Fund II The Pointe LLC, an entity of Collett Capital, a Charlotte-based real estate private equity firm. Collett developed The Pointe with local real estate firm Cameron Management. 

Property records show CC Fund II The Pointe LLC purchased the site for $3.75 million in June 2025 from Barclay Commons Retail LLC.

Pulte has submitted permits for a model building on the property, which, Korsten said, is expected to go vertical this month. The project’s first buildings are expected to open for sale in the third or fourth quarter of the year, he added.

Construction of the project’s 16 buildings (a site layout is shown below at right) will be phased based on market demand, Korsten said, with full build-out lasting between two and three years. The townhomes will have approximately 1,900 square feet and could have two or three bedrooms, depending on the layout, along with a garage.

Korsten said he expects the Barclay Townes could appeal to young professionals and those looking to enter the homebuying market. Although final pricing is yet to be determined, Korsten expects all-in prices to begin in the high-$400s.

This is Pulte’s second townhome project in the Wilmington market, Korsten said. The homebuilder recently completed the Lakeside Townes at Riverlights, a 33-unit townhome community located in the Riverlights area.

“Our belief is as long as it’s in a really great A-located spot, townhomes really work,” Korsten said. “You’re not going to have a lot of space to buy large tracts of land, so we think these smaller townhome infill deals could really resonate with the market, just letting people, for a lower price point (and) live in a really, really great location versus having to sprawl out.”

Charlotte-based Canvas Residential Partners is teaming up with a California investment firm to develop build-to-rent townhomes in the University submarket.

Canvas and Los Angeles-based Pacific Coast Capital Partners recently broke ground on Skymor Research Park, a 70-unit BTR community at 11108 Mallard Creek Road. The three-story townhomes are under construction on a 9-acre site within University Research Park.

The development will have 44 four-bedroom units averaging 1,893 square feet and 26 three-bedroom units averaging 1,768 square feet. Each townhome will include a two-car garage and private balcony as well as quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, luxury vinyl plank flooring, dual bathroom vanities and walk-in showers.

The property will also feature central green space, sidewalks and pocket parks.

The first units are expected to deliver in the third quarter of 2026.

Creighton Call, managing partner at Canvas Residential Partners, said in a news release that the partnership with PCCP is based on the firm’s experience as an owner and investor in purpose-built rental housing.

PCCP acquired the two-parcel site at 11108 and 11128 Mallard Creek roads in May for $2.98 million, according to Mecklenburg County property records. The firm has made various other investments in the Charlotte market, including a five-building industrial development at Shopton Ridge Business Park. It also provided construction financing for The Line, Portman Holdings’ 16-story, 300,000-square-foot office building at 2151 Hawkins St. as well as for Regions 615, a 17-story, 360,000-square-foot building at 615 S. College St., also developed by Portman.

Canvas officially launched in 2022 by Call and Collett Capital. Its local portfolio includes Avery Place at 8620 Steele Creek Road, which delivered in 2023; Oak Lake at 9100 Blue Dale Road, which delivered in 2024; Marglyn at Matthews at 1748 Marglyn Drive, which delivered in 2025; and The Groves at 2312 Ben Craig Drive, which delivered in 2025.

The platform focuses on the development of build-to-rent communities between 60 and 250 units throughout the Southeast. The team has closed on over $600 million in real estate investments totaling more than 1,900 units in the past several years.

Skymor is the latest in a swath of build-to-rent projects that have broken ground in the Charlotte market this year.

California-based BrightSky Residential recently started construction on its first local project, a 152-unit townhome development at 1325 Peachtree Road; Charlotte homebuilder Taylor Morrison filed plans in October for a 250-unit development at IMB Drive near Innovation Park; and Chicago-based Origin Investments will break ground in early 2026 on 120 BTR townhomes, which will be phase two of Trailside NoDa 3600 Philemon Ave.

A development firm out of Charlotte recently paid $2.95 million for land on North Kerr Avenue.

Canvas Residential Partners LLC of Charlotte purchased the 11 acres, just south of Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway in Wilmington, with plans to develop 79 build-for-rent townhomes on the site, according to a news release from Wilmington-based commercial real estate firm Maus, Warwick, Matthews & Co. Site plans call the development Azalea Park.

Prior to the sale, the property was comprised of several different tax parcels belonging to the Raines Family, some of which were within the Wilmington city limits and some adjacent in the unincorporated area of the county, the release stated. 

“The unincorporated parcels were annexed into the city and rezoned to allow for multifamily development after a unanimous vote to approve the request by the Wilmington City Council,” according to the release. 

Hansen Matthews of Maus, Warwick, Matthews & Co. represented the sellers in this transaction.

The cottage townhomes are expected to feature modern interior layouts, private backyards and attached garages, the release stated.
