Crafting Intentional Communities

Reader Communities is a master-planned community development firm whose principals have over 100 years of combined experience in the acquisition, entitlement, development, and disposition of mixed use and residential land assets with an emphasis in the southeast. Reader was founded in 2011 as a successor to the land division of Charlotte, NC-based Crosland.

In a decade, Reader Communities has developed more than 4,000 residential lots across the southeast in both primary and active adult communities totaling well over $250M. Reader has actively managed land assets on behalf of a number of institutional funds as well as provided advisory and consulting services nationally. Reader’s specific focus is to organize the structure and placement of the horizontal program to maximize the vertical opportunities which can be created in each project. This allows for truly unique, successful projects which produce strong returns for our builders, homeowners and investment partners.

We are passionate about developing quality relationships with our partners to ensure we meet their needs, solve problems effectively and sustain a positive environment where all stakeholders prosper. We review every real estate detail with a keen eye because we are committed to the value created by thoughtful long-term decisions and the benefits created by making the right decision rather than the easy one.  This mindset leads us to earn the trust of our partners through the intentional demonstration of integrity ingrained in each of our team members.
