Rendering of Ashton Reserve at North Lake, Charlotte, NC

 Charlotte, N.C. (Sept. 6, 2018) — RIVERGATE KW RESIDENTIAL, a leading multifamily property management company, has secured a new management assignment near the Northlake Mall in Charlotte.

The addition of the 473-unit Ashton Reserve at Northlake expands the company’s existing relationship with community owner Bluerock Real Estate.

RKW also manages five other Bluerock assets in the Carolinas and Florida including Arlo, which is a lease-up near Uptown Charlotte.

Marcie Williams
“We are thrilled to get this new assignment after our successful partnership with Bluerock,” said Marcie Williams, president of RKW.

“This continues what has been a historic year in the life of our company. Fueled by our leadership, staff and incredible team of managers on the ground, RKW is reaching new heights in our home base of Charlotte and beyond.”

The Ashton Reserve addition bolsters RKW’s aggressively expanding portfolio, which now totals more than 13,000 units. That growth is leading to significant accolades for the company.

For instance, the Charlotte Business Journal recognized RKW in its annual list of the largest property management companies in the area for the first time in the company’s four-year history.

Sarah Girand
Located at 10320 Grobie Way, Ashton Reserve offers a mix of high-end one, two and three-bedroom apartments. Unit features include plank flooring, large soaking tubs, walk-in closets, elegant kitchens with chef islands and granite countertops and washer and dryers.

Community amenities include a dog park, car care center, private media center, propane grilling stations, valet dry cleaning service, a state-of-the-art fitness center and cyber café with Wi-Fi printing.

Ashton Reserve residents can take advantage of the community’s proximity to Northlake Mall – a premier retail destination. The community also promotes an active outdoor lifestyle, with walking trails surrounded by lush landscaping and a large fire pit where friends can gather and enjoy the beautiful Charlotte evenings.

“We have enjoyed our working relationship with RKW and look forward to expanding on it with Ashton Reserve,” said Sarah Girand, Senior Vice President of Asset Management for Bluerock “We have no doubt that our residents will be in great hands and have all of their needs met.”

Phase One Of Atlanta’s Largest Park Destination, Westside Park at Bellwood Quarry, Is Officially Underway


Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms
                                                                                               
                                                                     
ATLANTA, GA (Sept.6, 2018) – Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and other officials broke ground on Phase One of Westside Park at Bellwood Quarry.

Slated to open in 2019, Phase One of Atlanta’s largest park will include a signature gateway enticing guests to explore the new passive park.

This phase will also include trails leading to the grand overlook area for views of the quarry-turned-reservoir.

Lauren Standish

At the center of the design for this monumental project is internationally recognized landscape architecture and planning firm, HGOR. For Phase One, the City of Atlanta tasked the design team, led by HGOR Principal, Lauren Standish, with developing the comprehensive vision and design.

“If you look at the topography of the park, just the existing environmental factors, it’s a fascinating place,” said Standish. “The juxtaposition of the quarry lake with the open lawn, preservation of trees and integration of environmental-based design is really exciting.

"We hope this park will tell a story of community and place and become a destination that will help shape and define the city of Atlanta for generations to come.”

 HGOR is collaborating on the development of these elements with Long Engineering, and is proud to partner with project leaders, Reeves Young and CERM.

 Team members include John Portman & Associates, Long Engineering, EcoWorks, Full Circle Communication, Denyse, BioHabitats, Sherwood Design Engineers, S.L. King & Associates and Sykes Consulting.

Upon completion, the park will encompass a total of 280 acres, nearly one hundred acres larger than Piedmont Park and will become the connective tissue linking the Proctor Creek Greenway and Chattahoochee River Corridor with the Atlanta Beltline.
