We’re excited to announce the promotions of 𝗔𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗥𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 and 𝗪𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 to principals at Beauxwright!
Avery has excelled since the day she joined our team as a development manager in 2021. Her dynamic personality, deep CRE knowledge and focus on win-win solutions continue to ensure success for a variety of projects, including the Charlotte-area residential communities Cascadia at Highland Creek, Northerly Townhomes and Radial at MoRA Point.
Wade has been an integral part of the Beauxwright team over the past three years. Starting as a development manager, he now helps lead efforts across Charlotte and into Greenville, SC. For projects ranging from residential to mixed-use, Wade's natural leadership skills, creative thinking and ability to form lasting partnerships are key to delivering superior results.
Please join our managing principals – Eric Speckman, Chris Warren and Andy Lucas – in congratulating Avery and Wade for their well-deserved promotions. Learn more about their backgrounds and diverse work experience: link in our bio.

Eric Speckman was never interested in playing only a small part in the development process. He co-founded Beauxwright so that he could bring his institutional-level brokerage and asset management experience to a more nimble and entrepreneurial company, with a hand in every aspect of a project.
“It is incredibly fulfilling to take a site from concept, to design, through construction and operations, and ultimately to an exit, he says. “To see it through from start to finish, and to see how it can positively impact your partners and the community.”
Eric’s big-picture vision continues to drive the culture at Beauxwright, and has resulted in several successful projects across the Carolinas, from Asheville to Greenville, SC to Eric’s hometown of Charlotte – which he says “has been fortunate to have great business and civic leaders who have paved the way for the growth we have enjoyed and will continue to enjoy.”
Along the way, the importance of building strong relationships has remained a foundational value for Eric and his team. “Whether we are rezoning a property and need to get support from the neighborhood stakeholders, raising capital from our capital partners, or working with the many team members that help us design and build a project, we view creating win-win solutions as a must,” he explains.

In one of Charlotte’s most desirable housing markets, Beauxwright is meeting the demand for high-quality for-sale residential options at more attainable price points on average. Bellflower is that rare community in South Charlotte to offer a prime live-work-play location, on a quiet 5.25-acre setting that welcomes humans and their four-legged best friends.
👉 Sales are gaining momentum during the spring selling season, with nine homes sold to date.
👉 Our private dog park is completed, and is fetch-ready.
👉 Our partner, @TriPointeHomes , one of the nation’s largest homebuilders, recently purchased additional buildings to begin the community’s next phase of construction.
Located within the Olde Providence neighborhood, close to South Charlotte’s top-ranked schools, shopping centers, and public and private golf courses, Bellflower is giving residents a convenient place to call home, and a more affordable housing alternative to traditional single-family homes in South Charlotte.

Northerly Townhomes, Beauxwright's signature townhome community in Charlotte's rapidly evolving North End corridor, continues to see remarkable traction this spring. With 85 homes sold (90% of the community) and 10 homes closed year-to-date, the market has spoken clearly.
Our partnership with NVR/Ryan Homes has been central to that success – with 12 lots purchased year-to-date, it reflects shared confidence in both the product and the place. And the place is everything. Northerly sits minutes from Uptown and steps from the restaurants, creative venues and cultural energy of Camp North End and the Brightwalk district – one of Charlotte's most exciting urban transformations.
Two distinct architectural styles, customizable high-end finishes and expansive floor plans give buyers a level of design quality that's increasingly rare in today's townhome market. With only 11 lots remaining, the window to join this community is closing.

Hard hats. Blueprints. Caffeine. All part of the developer’s toolkit. But for the Beauxwright team, collaboration is the most essential piece. From articulating the vision and brainstorming the design details at the office, to walking the grounds of projects both in development and ready to go to market, we welcome diverse perspectives and ideas from our team as well our investors, partners and community members. To us, that’s the only way to ensure superior results for our properties and communities, and to create a win-win for every stakeholder.

Like Plaza Midwood, like NoDa, vibrant new communities continue to emerge organically in the fast-growing Charlotte market. Case in point: the Oakhurst/MoRA corridor southeast of Uptown, where Radial at MoRA Point is the first build-to-rent townhome property to put down stakes.
Together with our development partners Cedar Square (@cedar.square ) and Copper Builders (@copperbuilders ), Beauxwright envisioned the potential when choosing the location for Radial. Strategically, we looked ahead with the knowledge that the Oakhurst/MoRA area was poised to see an influx of mixed-use investments and new retail that mirrored the early transformation of Plaza Midwood and NoDa from overlooked neighborhoods into desirable lifestyle hubs.
Fast-forward to a recent visit to the now-completed Radial, when our team had the opportunity to explore the thoughtful design, modern floorplans and high-end finishes – placing it at the very top of Charlotte’s emerging Eastside rental market. This elevated approach to construction and design is especially important in a city where rising for-sale housing costs are pushing residents toward high-quality rental alternatives.
It has been gratifying to see how Radial is meeting market demand, with current leasing close to 70%. As the community’s name signifies, it’s a place of connection and convenience, and the new central point between Uptown, Plaza Midwood, SouthPark and Matthews.

Charlotte’s Optimist Park community continues its exciting evolution, and the Beauxwright team is proud to have been at the forefront of it.
Back in 2017, we saw the potential for residential, commercial and retail development in this area east of Uptown Charlotte, on the edge of NoDa. The LYNX Blue Line Extension was bringing public transportation to the neighborhood. Directly across the street from Parkwood Station, we established two communities that provided attractive, modern residential options – and more importantly, the opportunity to offer affordable housing.
𝟯𝟬𝟬 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸: 𝟰𝟴-𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁 𝗹𝘂𝘅𝘂𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆.
• We rezoned the existing property assemblage to create more density, garnering support from the Optimist Park neighborhood and the nonprofit Belmont Community Association (@belmontcharlotte ), along with unanimous approval from Charlotte City Council.
• As a result, 10% of the units are affordable apartments with rentals below market rate.
𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸𝘄𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗦𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗲: 𝟱𝟵-𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿-𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆.
• We worked alongside neighborhood leaders, Charlotte City Council, Charlotte’s Housing and Neighborhood Services team and other stakeholders on rezoning efforts.
• This collaboration led to the integration of the House Charlotte program, an affordable housing initiative that enabled us to offer 10% of the project’s units at a significant discount to qualified buyers.

“What I like most about working in Charlotte is that it’s a young enough city that we can still make a meaningful mark on the built environment.” Andy Lucas has been a principal at Beauxwright for nearly a decade, and he values playing an active role in the significant growth and momentum in the city he calls home.
With his involvement in development projects throughout the area as well as the fast-growing market of Greenville, SC, Andy to continues to draw from his experience in credit analysis, asset management, capital markets and structured finance, including time as a vice president at Wells Fargo Commercial Real Estate. “I enjoy thinking about what could go wrong and how we’d figure our way out of particular challenges,” he says.
Through it all, he knows that the success of any project comes down to building strong and lasting partnerships and connections. “We recognize the power of battle-tested relationships and subscribe to the theory that approaching transactions with a “one and done” attitude means that you won’t be in business very long,” he says.
Andy regularly shares his insights and observations through panel discussions at industry events such as the Interface Carolinas Multifamily conference, and is an active member of ULI Charlotte (@uli_clt ), where he was recently a guest on the “Building Connections” podcast focused on one of Charlotte’s most pressing needs: affordable and attainable housing.

Small footprint. Big idea. When developing Bauhaus South Slope in Asheville, the Beauxwright team worked closely with our engineering and architectural partners to turn a small section of land – on the side of a hill, no less – into a luxury townhome community with the features and amenities that residents wouldn’t find anywhere else.
It started with the prime location, in the heart of Asheville’s South Slope district, steps away from restaurants, breweries and music venues. Even more unique? The community has a baseball field literally in its back yard: McCormick Field, home of the Asheville Tourists.
As Beauxwright principal Chris Warren explains, Bauhaus was designed to stand out in a crowded residential marketplace by offering an architectural style influenced by the Bauhaus movement in Europe, with geometric shapes, sleek lines and understated elegance. The 17 three-story townhomes are capped off by rooftop decks providing views of downtown Asheville and the nearby mountains.
At Beauxwright, we always strive to find out-of-the-box solutions to development challenges when we believe in the quality of the end product. And in a city known for creativity, we’re proud that Bauhaus has carved out a uniquely creative space of its own.
