Real Estate

Beacon Properties Group has developed, managed, bought, and sold commercial real estate in the Research Triangle Region of North Carolina for over 30 years. Founder Chris Howlett started Beacon in 1986 and began developing sites for national retailers like Jiffy Lube and restaurateurs like Brinker International with his now long-time partner Louis Gonzalez. The pair later developed larger retail centers, office condominiums, and medical offices, clinics, and research labs for UNC Healthcare. With prior experience at one of the largest REITs in the country, Edward Lammas has brought years of multifamily and mixed use development experience to the team, and leads new development in these product types. Beacon has focused its development efforts in the Triangle Region, where they have a unique expertise when it comes to the entitlement process. Their local knowledge and relationships have enabled them to be successful in developing sites that other national companies have attempted to develop and failed, including projects in municipalities with notoriously difficult development standards, and sites with a range of on- and off-site challenges. Beacon is currently working on projects in nearly every product type in the Triangle, including phased mixed-use, multifamily, grocery-anchored retail, office, and medical office.
