Edgehill

What Edgehill does

Edgehill is a Charlotte-based residential real estate development and investment firm that develops, acquires, and operates residential communities across the Carolinas and Georgia. Its product platform spans four asset classes: Build-to-Rent townhomes and detached homes targeting renters seeking a long-term lifestyle; Build-to-Sale communities serving the "missing middle" of buyers priced out of luxury product and underserved by entry-level supply; Multifamily development and value-add acquisitions in high-barrier-to-entry markets; and Finished Lots as part of its land development pipeline. The named project portfolio includes 20+ communities such as Hillstead at Maple Pond (127 units, Charlotte NC), Oak Lake (222 units, Charlotte NC), Revel (360 units, Greensboro NC), Rosemore (222 units, McDonough GA), Atlas (171 units, Durham NC), and others across Asheville, Sumter, Columbia, Charleston, Wilmington, and Monroe.

Edgehill operates as a vertically integrated developer-operator, sourcing and underwriting opportunities in-house, executing development through third-party builders and civil engineering partners, and either holding assets or selling finished communities depending on the product type. The firm applies a hyper-local, submarket-level sourcing strategy targeting strong demographics, high school scores, and resilient markets with structural housing undersupply in the Carolinas.

Edgehill's business model is a real-estate private equity model: it raises equity from private investors, family offices, and institutional capital (pension funds, insurance companies, REITs) via private placements, deploys that capital into development and acquisition projects, and earns developer fees, asset management fees, and promote/carried interest on exits or operating cash flow. Investor onboarding, reporting, and capital management are handled through a Juniper Square-powered investor portal. Cumulative disclosures include $1B+ in commercial real estate transactions, $500M+ in equity deployed, 700+ Build-to-Rent units developed, 1,000+ multifamily units acquired/developed, and 300+ finished lots, attributed to the firm and its partners' collective 35+ years of industry experience despite the legal entity being formed in 2024.
