ABOUT
Castlebridge sets the bar high as a regional leader in its industry when it comes to acquiring, managing and providing prime land for future development. Because the Castlebridge team is already so well-versed in the key aspects of bank financing, private equity generation and hands-on construction strategy, we are able to move at light speed through what would otherwise bog many others down in development red tape and investment challenges. That skill in financial real estate navigation we evidence every day has placed Castlebridge at top of the go-to lists for companies pushing the lead on new development success in the Southeast.
With over 1,500 lots under its belt, Castlebridge has already become the developing lead of choice in the Southeast seaboard, and the entire team makes up more than 150 years of experience in real estate investing, land development, and financing.

The simple fact of keeping everything in a risk management environment clear and visible has won Castlebridge more business faster than most other players in the Southeast real estate development industry to date.
That same success translates to every new account and project Castlebridge takes on. Our clients enjoy the best of strategically masterful land development combined with a dedication to due diligence. The results produce real estate financing win stories again and again, across multiple regions in the Southeast and North Carolina.
