Arcadia Homes

What Arcadia Homes does

Arcadia Homes Inc. is a privately held custom luxury home builder founded in 1994 in Charlotte, North Carolina by Michael Salamone and Robert Bowers. The company designs and builds fully custom residential properties priced from $1.5M to $15M for high-net-worth individuals and families in the Charlotte metropolitan area and surrounding exclusive communities such as Waxhaw, completing 12–18 homes per year. Service lines include new custom home construction on client-owned land, build-out on company-developed lots in communities like The Cottages at Longview and The Club at Longview (a Jack Nicklaus signature golf course enclave), and award-winning luxury renovations for projects over $1M. A separate Arcadia Commercial division (operated at arcadiabuilt.com) handles retail, industrial, restaurant, auto dealership, and office construction projects, extending the firm's capability stack beyond residential work.

The business operates on a project-based, one-time revenue model with quote-based pricing for each custom build. Go-to-market is high-touch, relationship-led direct sales targeting affluent homeowners through personal consultations with leadership, an in-house design-build team, and a structured sales-to-delivery pipeline (promised 12-month delivery timelines). Customer engagement is supported by the BuilderTrend SaaS platform, which provides clients 24/7 visibility into construction schedules, financials, selections, approvals, and documentation. Real estate brokers and prior clients serve as referral channels, while press coverage in Architectural Digest, Business View North America, and QC Exclusive Magazine plus industry recognition (NAHB Custom Home Builder of the Year 2020, multiple NCHBA Stars Awards 2015–2017, LEED Platinum 2014) reinforce brand positioning. Leadership includes President and Managing Partner Jeremy Schumacher, VP and Managing Partner AJ Foard (Accredited Master Builder, CGP, LEED Green Associate), and co-founders Salamone and Bowers, who remain operationally active.

Direct peers

• Simonini Homes: Charlotte-based custom luxury home builder with a similar high-touch consultative design-build model. Operates in the same metro area and competes directly for HNW homeowners seeking fully custom residences with comparable price points and craftsman positioning.
• John Wieland Homes: Atlanta/Charlotte-area luxury homebuilder with regional Carolinas footprint and similar custom-home positioning to Arcadia. Targets premium buyers in upscale Carolinas communities with comparable home price ranges and design-led product.

Broad incumbents

• Toll Brothers: Largest US pure-play luxury homebuilder with deep capital and broad geographic coverage. Overlaps with Arcadia in the move-up luxury segment but operates at materially greater scale with public-market capital access and broader product portfolio.
• AR Homes: National franchise-style custom luxury homebuilder (formerly Arthur Rutenberg Homes) operating across multiple US states. Similar fully-custom product positioning but via a franchise model that distributes scale and brand across regional partners.
• Taylor Morrison: Large national homebuilder with a distinct luxury segment (estates and high-end custom offerings). Comparable on luxury sub-segment but operates at far greater scale with public-market capital and broader move-up and active-adult portfolios.
• Mattamy Homes: Large privately-held North American homebuilder with custom and luxury product lines. Comparable luxury buyer demographic but materially deeper operational scale and capital resources than Arcadia.
• Ashton Woods Homes: National private homebuilder with an 'Ashton Woods Reserve' luxury segment offering custom-style homes in premium Carolinas communities. Comparable product tier and target buyer, broader geographic reach and operational scale.
• David Weekley Homes: Large national private homebuilder offering luxury and custom-segment product lines across Carolinas metros. Similar target HNW buyer demographic but at much higher production volume and broader geographic footprint.
• Century Communities: National public homebuilder with selective luxury offerings (move-up premium lines). Competes for some of the same affluent buyers as Arcadia but operates with materially greater capital scale and primarily volume-driven production.

Others

• Christopher Peacock: Luxury kitchen and bath design and cabinetry provider serving the same affluent custom-home client base as Arcadia and frequently specified into high-end custom homes. An adjacent ecosystem participant rather than a direct competitor.
