News beyond the urban core: LandCon Charlotte explores development opportunities in surrounding communities. Matthew Largen Published on: November 6th, 2026 WithersRavenel's latest LandCon Charlotte event brought together regional leaders to explore real estate trends, infrastructure readiness, and investment opportunities beyond Charlotte's urban core. As development opportunities evolve across the Charlotte region, attention is extending beyond the city's urban core to surrounding communities where land availability, infrastructure capacity, and economic development priorities are shaping investment decisions. On November 5, 2026, WithersRavenel hosted its latest LandCon Charlotte event at Lenny Boy Brewing Company, bringing together developers, builders, land acquisition professionals, and regional industry leaders for a discussion titled "Squeezed to the Perimeter: Real Estate Trends and the Rise of Charlotte's Outer Cities." Moderated by Tobe Holmes, AICP, Business Development Representative at WithersRavenel, the panel featured: * Dianne Jones, Managing Director, Business Location and Economic Incentives at JLL * Jenn Bosser, CEcD, President & CEO of Iredell County Economic Development Corporation * Ashley Cagle, Executive Director, Economic and Land Development at WithersRavenel Together, the panel brought perspectives from site selection, economic development, and land development to a conversation about the opportunities and challenges emerging throughout the Charlotte metropolitan area. Looking beyond Charlotte's urban core. As opportunities for urban infill become increasingly complex, Charlotte's surrounding communities offer another perspective on the region's development potential. The discussion centered on the factors influencing investment beyond the city center, including institutional capital, local economic incentives, infrastructure capacity, and the growing importance of connecting development opportunities with community priorities. For developers and investors evaluating multifamily, retail, office, and other commercial opportunities, identifying the right location requires more than finding available land. Access to utilities, transportation networks, workforce availability, permitting requirements, and local development policies can influence whether a property is positioned to support its intended use. These considerations are particularly important as development teams evaluate opportunities across multiple jurisdictions, each with its own infrastructure conditions, approval processes, and long-term growth priorities. Connecting development opportunity with project readiness. The event's focus also reinforced the value of evaluating development opportunities from multiple perspectives. A promising site may offer favorable market conditions, but understanding its development potential requires early consideration of engineering, planning, infrastructure, and regulatory requirements. Through its Land Development services, WithersRavenel helps developers assess site feasibility, navigate approvals, coordinate infrastructure needs, and move projects from initial evaluation toward construction. By connecting expertise in civil engineering, planning, surveying, environmental services, and permitting, WithersRavenel helps clients understand potential constraints earlier and make more informed investment decisions. Continuing the LandCon conversation. This latest gathering builds on WithersRavenel's ongoing LandCon series, which brings together public- and private-sector professionals to explore the opportunities and challenges shaping regional development. The November event extended that conversation to the surrounding communities and the considerations that can influence where future development takes place. WithersRavenel thanks Dianne Jones, Jenn Bosser, and Ashley Cagle for contributing their perspectives, Tobe Holmes for moderating, and the developers and industry professionals who joined the discussion.

News WithersRavenel shares remote sensing expertise at ACEC/NC transportation conference. Matthew Largen Published on: October 1st, 2026 WithersRavenel's Remote Sensing team brought a practical look at transportation corridor surveying to the 2026 ACEC/NC NCDOT Joint Transportation Conference, held September 21-22 at the Atlantic Union Bank Convention Center in Raleigh. The event brought together the American Council of Engineering Companies of North Carolina, the North Carolina Department of Transportation, and engineering and public-sector professionals to exchange ideas and advance transportation planning, design and delivery. Chris Godwin, PLS, and Chris Breedlove, GISP, presented "Integrating Remote Sensing Technologies for Comprehensive Transportation Corridor Surveying." Their session explored the challenges, successes and opportunities of combining mobile LiDAR, drone-based LiDAR and drone-based photogrammetry with conventional surveying to produce accurate, comprehensive deliverables while prioritizing safe data collection. The presentation featured a project along U.S. 17 in Leland, North Carolina, where WithersRavenel performed surveying for Exult Engineering to support its traffic signal and roadway improvements plan. Rather than discussing each technology in isolation, the team examined how data collected through different methods can be brought together within a conventional survey, and how that integration can continue to improve. Meet the presenters. Chris Godwin is WithersRavenel's Remote Sensing Technical Lead, a North Carolina Professional Land Surveyor and an FAA-certified remote pilot. His work focuses on collecting and processing geospatial data for transportation, infrastructure and environmental projects. Chris Breedlove supports mobile scanning and other remote sensing projects, drawing on experience in mobile mapping, geospatial production, GPS/GIS asset management and urban planning. He is a certified GIS professional and an FAA-certified remote pilot. Let's connect.
