The new Charlotte president previously held leadership positions with Toll Brothers, Broadstreet Homes and Mission Builders.
The Beechwood Organization — also known as Beechwood Homes — has named Michael Emanuel as its Charlotte division president. Emanuel joined Beechwood in 2024 as its vice president of operations for the Carolinas. He had previously held leadership positions with Toll Brothers, Broadstreet Homes and Mission Builders.
Beechwood entered the Carolinas in 2021. That is also the year it filed to rezone the site for its first Charlotte project, which included five upscale townhomes.
“Our commitment to North Carolina is long-term, and we are proud of the five communities we have delivered in just four years,” Steven Dubb, The Beechwood Organization’s principal and president, said in a release. “We anticipate maintaining or surpassing that level of growth as we move forward with acquiring new land across the region. We remain focused on delivering high-quality dream homes for discerning buyers and renters in Charlotte’s most sought-after locations and beyond.”
In early 2022, Beechwood announced plans to break ground on four Charlotte-area projects totaling over 300 homes. The developer is also currently leading a mixed-use project in Chapel Hill with up to 815 apartments, condominiums and townhomes. Beechwood’s for-sale homes in N.C. have prices ranging from the mid $600,000s to over $2 million.
Beechwood came in at No. 36 on the Charlotte Business Journal‘s most recent list of the market’s largest homebuilders. According to CBJ data, Beechwood started 35 new homes in the Charlotte market in 2024.
“We look forward to announcing specific new development projects in early 2026,” Dubb said in a release.
