CREATING A NATURAL CONNECTION AT THE RIVER DISTRICT
Nestled along the Catawba River just 10 minutes from Uptown Charlotte, The River District represents the culmination of Crescent Communities’ vision to create places that live in harmony with nature, purpose and progress. Spanning roughly 1,200 acres, this transformative master-planned community is redefining what it means to live, work and thrive in the Queen City. With over 500 acres of open green space, residents can find themselves truly at home when scenic riverfront trails meet innovative urban design and meaningful connection
More than a decade in the making, The River District was conceived as a community that balances the beauty of its natural setting with the energy of modern growth
Crescent Communities intentionally preserved nearly half of the site as green space. Through integrating conservation into every stage of planning and execution, this development ensures that the rivers, creeks and rolling topography that define the land remain integral to its identity. To help guide development, The River District used the principles of One Planet Living to ensure sustainable placemaking, and even earned the prestigious designation of a One Planet Living Leader As only the third U S development and the first in the Southeast to achieve such a status, this recognition underscores Crescent Communities’ dedication to sustainable practices, standing as a benchmark for environmentally conscious development and long-term value creation
At the heart of The River District is a walkable, connected core designed to bring people together.
The master plan envisions homes, offices, retail, dining and public spaces woven into a seamless fabric of daily life Early phases are already taking shape, including the town center of Westrow, featuring a two-acre working farm, a forge building and an innovative playground, as well as the residential enclave NOVEL River District, where Crescent Communities’ multifamily expertise sets a new benchmark for design, wellness and community engagement Together, these elements are creating a destination that feels both timeless and distinctly Charlotte … vibrant, connected and full of possibility.
In the years ahead, The River District will stand as a living showcase of Crescent Communities’ vision in action. It’s a legacy project that proves growth and sustainability are not opposing forces but partners in progress. From the banks of the Catawba to the skyline of Uptown, it’s clear that The River District is more than a development It’s the future Crescent Communities is helping shape, one acre at a time

CRESCENT COMMUNITIES’ EXPANDING URBAN LEGACY
Crescent Communities’ Dallas story is distinct and distinctly Dallas From the gritty art-filled streets of Deep Ellum to the artsy charm of a neighborhood under reinvention like Bishop Arts to the upscale and timeless elegance of Turtle Creek – the desire to deliver excellence and a distinct identity is clear Crescent Communities has built upon its tradition of elevating the city’s most dynamic districts, creating places that feel unique and unexpected while feeling like it has been part of the neighborhood all along
NOVEL Bishop Arts, located in the heart of Oak Cliff’s historic trolley district, was designed to honor the neighborhood’s eclectic character. The community extends Bishop Arts’ independent, artistic spirit eastward while celebrating grit, creativity and connection Through vibrant public plazas, pedestrian-friendly alleys and collaborations with local makers, NOVEL Bishop Arts is more than a place to live. It serves as a living extension of the community’s rhythm and soul

BY COMBINING ARCHITECTURE, PLACEMAKING AND EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, CRESCENT COMMUNITIES IS REDEFINING WHAT IT MEANS TO “GO TO THE OFFICE.”
Ally Charlotte Center
That philosophy has already taken root across Crescent Communities’ portfolio In Charlotte, Elizabeth on Seventh has become a model for urban mixed use, blending workplace, retail and community engagement Its near-complete lease-up, featuring a diverse roster of creative and local tenants, proves that design with intention fuels both culture and commerce Just a few miles away, Carson & Tryon advances that same vision, defining what the future of work looks like by pairing convenience with connection By integrating wellness, hospitality and communal gathering spaces into a seamless environment, Crescent Communities is redesigning how work gets done. In Phoenix, the forthcoming Heritage Park will extend that approach westward, creating a dynamic blend of residential, retail and workplace energy that turns collaboration into part of the neighborhood fabric
Underpinning every BOWER development is Crescent Communities’ conviction that great offices do more than just house employees. They build community. The company ’ s workplace principles of people-centric design, collaborative communities and distinctive solutions ensure that every square foot serves a purpose From site selection to sustainability, Crescent Communities brings the same rigor and intentionality that define its residential brands to its commercial spaces, creating offices that perform for both people and investors.
The result provides a new kind of workplace while inspiring a new kind of workday. By combining architecture, placemaking and emotional intelligence, Crescent Communities is redefining what it means to “go to the office ” Through BOWER, it’s proving that when you design for people, performance follows And that the future of work isn’t about where we are it’s about how we feel when we get there

Leading the charge is NOVEL Val Vista, Crescent Communities’ globally inspired luxury apartment community in Gilbert Completed in 2024, Val Vista introduced a bohemian-meets-boutique lifestyle to one of metro Phoenix’s most desirable corridors, blending resort-style amenities with thoughtful design.

TAKING SHAPE IN ATLANTA
Growth in West Midtown, Blandtown & Beyond
Crescent Communities has a rich and diverse history in Atlanta with 22 legacy developments spanning of fice, industrial, and multifamily communities.
By CRESCENT COMMUNITIES ATLANTA
Now we are deepening our roots, bringing new product types, urban energy and long-term vision to a city already rich with legacy and momentum From the launch of NOVEL West Midtown to the upcoming NOVEL Blandtown, along with further growth through RENDER Covington and HARMON Cedar Run, Crescent Communities is weaving new chapters into an ever-growing Atlanta story.
NOVEL West Midtown officially opened in November 2023, positioning itself in one of the city’s most coveted corridors, just steps from the future Beltline Westside Trail and the Westside Reservoir Park, the community is nestled in the trees offering residents a respite from city life and an escape into nature. The community offers studio apartments through three-bedroom homes, nature-inspired interiors and easy access to Atlanta’s best restaurants, nightlife and green spaces.
NOVEL West Midtown
RENDER Covington
NOVEL Blandtown is the “edge” to NOVEL West Midtown’s “calm”. In a similar area of town along Huff Road, NOVEL Blandtown’s vibe is focused on underground art and industry. This 250-unit luxury community will include rooftop amenities, ground-level retail and high-end finishes, all bringing fresh vibrancy and density to a part of Atlanta that blends history and transformation.
Meanwhile, Crescent’s suburban-focused offering, RENDER, has seen incredible growth with RENDER Covington, RENDER Turner Lake, and RENDER Stockbridge all in lease-up. With one-, two- and threebedroom residences, access to trails and amenity-rich spaces, these communities represent Crescent Communities’ ability to serve multiple market tiers in Atlanta’s orbit.
Capping off this growth is HARMON Cedar Run, Crescent Communities’ first build-to-rent community in greater Atlanta, located in Lawrenceville. With threeand four-bedroom townhomes, green space, courts and resort-style amenities, it represents Crescent Communities’ push into homelike rentals for families seeking stability and quality without compromise.
Across all these communities, the theme is clear: Crescent Communities is not merely participating in Atlanta’s growth … It’s shaping it. By layering NOVEL’s luxury urban edge, RENDER’s suburban accessibility and HARMON’s build-to-rent model, Crescent Communities is broadening its footprint, diversifying, and reaffirming its commitment to building communities that residents are eager to call home.

Happy Givemore Golf Tournament
Building Community Through Giving Back
Crescent Communities hosted its first-ever Happy Givemore Invitational in April 22 , 2024 to benefit The ROC Charlotte, an organization that educates and mentors high school students and connects them with employment opportunities in the construction industry. In total, the golf tournament raised more than $100,000, all of which will go directly to The ROC to help fund its transformational educational and vocational programming
The event, hosted at TPC Piper Glen, included a full day of golf with more than 100 participants from multiple industries followed by a reception and celebratory dinner. Participants included a mix of Crescent colleagues as well as business leaders from local partners including Regroup and Moore & Van Allen, the event’s platinum sponsors Other event sponsors included: Choate Construction, Dwell Design Studio, EM Structural, Finfrock, Fortune Johnson, Gilbane, Jordan & Skala Engineers, Troutman Pepper and Whiting Turner.
The funds raised directly supported The ROC’s ongoing initiatives, which include hands-on workshops, scholarships, and real-world construction experience for students from Title 1 schools on Charlotte’s west side The ROC provides select junior and senior students skills training in advanced carpentry, electrical, HVAC and construction management through a combination of structured classroom and applied learning opportunities with local professional mentors, including Crescent Communities colleagues. Some students also receive dual high school and college credits through Central Piedmont Community College After graduation, the students can complete their associate degree at Central Piedmont, continue onto a four-year university degree, or join the construction industry directly
This fall, our work will expand to help more than 200 students – up from about 150 students last year – so the funds raised at this event will be immediately impactful to our students and programming.” “
“The critical and life-changing work we do at The ROC is only possible because of generous partners like Crescent Communities and all of the Happy Givemore sponsors who made this inaugural event such a success,” said The ROC Charlotte Executive Director Darren Ash “This fall, our work will expand to help more than 200 students – up from about 150 students last year – so the funds raised at this event will be immediately impactful to our students and programming.”
The tournament not only highlighted the spirit of competition and camaraderie but also the Crescent’s commitment to giving back and making a positive difference Plans are already underway for April 20, 2026, Happy Givemore event, which will be a biennial event, and we look forward to building on the prior tournament’s success
