With communities built around lifestyles — not just houses — Beechwood Homes is known for creating neighborhoods that thrive on a true sense of belonging.
Reflecting that mission, the exceptional Lakeside Pointe community in Sherrills Ford, NC, captures every unmistakable joy of living at Lake Norman — including the perfect balance of natural beauty and urban convenience. Its appeal is appreciated by a variety of ages and lifestyles, as is its close proximity to everything Charlotte has to offer.
Appropriately, Lakeside Pointe has been named 2026 Community of the Year by the Home Builders Association of Greater Charlotte. The MAME (Major Achievements in Marketing Excellence) Award recognizes Lakeside Pointe as one of the region’s top-performing residential communities.
This exciting Community of the Year designation reflects excellence across multiple criteria, including sales success, marketing execution, and overall community design — making it one of the most competitive and comprehensive honors awarded at MAME. With this prestigious award, Lakeside Pointe has positioned itself as a true leader among Charlotte-area developments, and its profile within both the local real estate market and the broader homebuilding industry shines brighter than ever.
“We’re honored to see Lakeside Pointe recognized by industry peers in this way. Creating a community on Lake Norman has always been about more than building homes — it’s about creating a lifestyle,” says Steven Dubb, principal and president of The Beechwood Organization. “From the very beginning, our vision was to design a place where everyday living feels elevated, whether that’s through thoughtful home design or sought-after amenities. This recognition is especially meaningful because it reflects how strongly that vision is resonating with homeowners.”
This win also marks a significant milestone in the success of the developer, The Beechwood Organization, since expanding into North Carolina in 2021. Since entering the market, Beechwood has completed — or currently has under construction — more than 1,100 homes in five communities, stretching from Weddington to Chapel Hill, NC. These unique projects represent more than $800 million in investment, along with the creation of 50-plus jobs. This is only the beginning of the company’s long-term plans for the region — where home sale prices have ranged from the mid-$600,000 to over $2 million.
Recognition with this award comes at a very meaningful time for Lakeside Pointe. In April, the community celebrated the grand opening of its first waterfront model home — the Waterside. This fully furnished model home — with stunning custom interiors brought to life by Beechwood Design Studio, plus the opportunity to view the Beacon Club — represent the latest addition to the Lakeside Pointe lifestyle that sets this popular Lake Norman community apart. It’s here that waterfront living, elevated design, and resort-style amenities come together in perfect harmony.
The community’s scenic peninsula location provides residents with a breath-taking Lake Norman view, while also embracing 26 acres of thoughtfully preserved open space with parks and walking trails. Lakeside Pointe amenities that foster connection among neighbors also continue expanding — with the opening of the children’s playground, as well as the much-anticipated opening of resident docks and kayak launch — slated for early summer 2026. Each of these sought-after amenities will enhance the community’s connection to the water, while supporting an active outdoor lifestyle for all residents.
Beechwood has also begun planning the Village Shoppes at Lakeside Pointe — a mix of restaurant and retail offerings envisioned to bring added convenience to the community. Commercial leasing inquiries are now being accepted.
