Charlotte’s multifamily sector came to life in May, with a handful of major deals closing. North Carolina is now in the second phase of its reopening process, which may further spur increases in development and investment activity in the coming months. However, a recent spike in COVID-19 cases across the state could spell future uncertainty as many businesses remain shuttered. Here’s our May selection of Charlotte must-knows:
1. DEAL – Hawthorne Residential makes $50 million suburban disposition.
PassiveInvesting.com purchased Hawthorne at Lake Norman, a 232-unit Class A community in Mooresville. JLL Capital Markets assisted the seller, procured the buyer and facilitated acquisition financing. The $35 million, fixed-interest Freddie Mac loan matures in 2030, Yardi Matrix shows. The 18-building community opened in 2013 and is located at 118 Plantation Creek Drive. At the time of the deal, the property was 97 percent leased.
2. DEAL – Monroe property trades for $26.2 million.
Tyson Group sold Nottingham, a 279-unit community, to Interurban Cos. Cushman & Wakefield negotiated the deal on behalf of the seller.

Located on 29 acres at 2613 Nottingham Lane, the property’s 21 three-story buildings opened between 1993 and 2001.
3. PEOPLE – Savills makes two key hires.
The brokerage strengthened its tenant representation team with the addition of Senior Managing Director Maxwell Hanks and Managing Director Tommy Beecher.

Beecher was previously a vice president with The Remi Group.
