Carolina Builder, Eastwood Homes, Celebrates 35th Anniversary

Posted on: February 7th, 2012 by admin No Comments

Carolina Builder Eastwood Homes is hosting a year-long celebration in honor of their 35th Anniversary. The company began operations in the Charlotte area in 1977. Since that time, Eastwood Homes has grown to include 5 successful divisions across North and South Carolina and been recognized with numerous awards and accolades. Still privately held, the company is led by its founder, Joseph K. Stewart and his son J. Clark Stewart.

In honor of their 35th Anniversary, Eastwood Homes is offering buyers an extensive list of sought-after upgrade options for only $35 each. A few options that qualify for this promotion include Hardwood Flooring, Crown Molding, the deluxe Master Bathroom, Gas Fireplace, Granite Kitchen Countertops, and a Screened Porch.

In today’s real estate environment, 35 years of home building is certainly a milestone to celebrate. In the last few years, many builders both large and small have exited the market. They were unable to respond to the changing market effectively. Being a Carolina builder, the management team at Eastwood Homes was able to adapt quickly to the changing market and offer a product in sync with the changing needs of the Carolina buyer. Now one of the top 50 builders nationwide, Eastwood Homes has climbed among the ranks of much larger builders, and succeeded where others have fallen short.

“When I built my first home in 1977, I couldn’t have possibly imagined that my company would grow to this size and level of success” stated company founder, Joe Stewart. “We have all worked very hard to get to where we are, but we have had many reasons to celebrate along the way. We were recognized as a top 50 builder nationwide, Builder of the Year, and we have won countless awards for quality construction and customer service. Not a day goes by that I don’t count my blessings.”

Clark Stewart, son of Joe, has been involved with the business for as long as he can recall. “My first job at Eastwood was to sweep the homes out while they were under construction. I must have been 9 or 10 years old when I started helping out. Now I am honored to be standing shoulder-to-shoulder with my father and helping him to handle all facets of business operations.” Now in his thirties and recently married, Clark will one day succeed his father in operating Eastwood Homes.

Charlotte Division President Mike Conley, who has been with the company for 17 years, expressed his excitement for the anniversary of the company, “I am proud to call the Eastwood Homes team my family. We have experienced tremendous growth and change together, and those experiences create long-standing friendships within the organization. We really are a hometown builder that happens to be ranked among the best national builders, and that is incredibly exciting to me. I’m sure we will be building here for another 35 years.”

Eastwood Homes offers single-family and townhomes throughout the Carolinas. Communities can be found in Charlotte, Raleigh, and the Triad Area of North Carolina, and in Greenville and Charleston, South Carolina.
