Evolve as a Business of Distinction in 2024

Here at Evolve, we pride ourselves on being a company that builds communities for people who live outside the box. We know your home is where it all happens, so we want it to feel unique—just like you—and our hope is that we can bring that same vibe into everything we do!

We started 2024 with the absolute honor of being recognized as a Business of Distinction in Wilmington, NC! Wrightsville Beach Magazine featured Evolve Companies in their amazing Green Spaces article, highlighting the plants we have at the center of our design—both in our Wilmington headquarters and at our communities.

The power of plants can lift the mood in any space—so what better place for plants that double as art than in a workspace? And the plants don’t even need to be real to elevate the environment! Amanda Lisk with Wrightsville Beach Magazine wrote, “Whether real or faux, adding plants to a room elevates the aesthetic, the mood, and the oxygen level when live. Plants just make everything better,” and we totally agree.

In our Wilmington headquarters, we’ve added lush (sometimes faux) plants wherever possible—from table centerpieces to stunning artwork framed on the walls.

Thanks to our friends at The Coastal Succulent, Evolve’s Wilmington headquarters has come to life with plants that set us apart—literally with our 8-foot gorilla topiary in the courtyard. Shawna Raines, our Development/Marketing Coordinator shared with the magazine that people who see the gorilla from the street even stop to take photos with it.

Keeping things fresh at Evolve communities

Part of our commitment to evolve the way you live is by keeping things fresh in our communities! One of our newer projects, Oceans RV Resort, is a different take on your typical RV park. This isn’t your basic spot to camp for the night!

As unique as Oceans RV Resort is, we wanted to bring the aesthetic to life with plants. Framed plant artwork and centerpieces dispersed throughout the resort are sure to catch your eye!

Evolving into new resort-style projects

If you’ve been here for a while, you know that at Evolve we’re all about evolving the way you live. Our goal is for your home to feel like your own private oasis—a superior housing experience. So why not evolve the way you vacation too?

One of our most recent projects is something totally new for us, but it’s got the same vacation-style vibes we can’t live without. Oceans RV Resort in Holly Ridge, NC is the vacation destination you’ve been dreaming about, and we can’t wait to show it to you!

Getting inspired at Evolve

people around fire at airstream rv park at sunset

RV and van life in the United States just keeps growing—so we’re evolving with it! Over 11.2 million households in the country own an RV, and they have to park somewhere, right?! There’s so much to see and do all over the US, and what better way to accommodate those travelers than with an RV resort that’s packed with amenities?

Holly Ridge is just inland from some of the most beautiful beaches in the state—Surf City, Topsail, and North Topsail. Only a ten-minute drive from the coast, Oceans RV Resort is the ideal destination for anyone visiting the area. With awesome local attractions close by, like Permuda Island Coastal Reserve and EMA Touch Tank Aquarium, you’ll never get bored—even on rainy days. Plus, the park is just a few minutes away from several grocery stores, making it easy to stock up on all your campfire favorites before settling in!

A Unique Evolution

Creating something unique is one way we’re building the dream here at Evolve. Oceans RV Resort offers top-of-the-line amenities that you typically don’t see at RV parks. Think pickleball court, putting green, dog park, pet wash, and resort-style swimming pool! The resort also has a fitness center, fire pits, on-site laundry machines, and free WIFI throughout.

Choose Your Adventure

The park has campsites of all sizes—perfect no matter what type of RV you have. For travelers who don’t have an RV but still want to experience all the magic that Oceans has to offer, there are beautiful premium cabins available to rent on-site as well.

Pantone’s Viva Magenta: Decorate Your Home on Trend in 2023

Jenny Yarborough Uncategorized 2023, amenities, apartmentliving, asheville, charleston, charlotte, coloroftheyear, cullowhee, decor, decorateontrend, evolve, evolvecompanies, evolvecos, evolvethewayyoulive, knoxville, lovewhereyoulive, luxuryapartments, luxuryliving, magenta, modernliving, ncapartmenthomes, newyear, northcarolina, paintcolors, pantone, propertymanagement, southcarolina, spartanburg, tennessee, thewayyoulive, trendingcolors, upscale, urban, vivamagenta

How to Use Pantone’s Color of the Year in Your Home

Here at Evolve, we’re all about bringing your space to life so that it feels like a home. If you love color as much as we do, get ready for Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2023. Viva Magenta is bringing fresh new meaning to the words bright and bold this year. According to Pantone, this rich shade of red has undertones of pink found in nature—think ripe berries and deep pink flowers. Feeling inspired to bring Pantone’s Color of the Year into your home this year? Check out these ideas for decorating your home on trend in 2023.

Paint it Red

Ready to make a statement? Go full throttle with an accent wall or even an entire room coated in Viva Magenta. Paired with neutral furniture, your bright red wall will really make a splash. You might also look for wallpaper with pops of magenta like this fun print from Anthropologie or this bold design with deep shades of berry.

Go Big and Go Bold

evolve pantone viva magenta blog bright velvet chair

Nothing screams committed like a big and bold Viva Magenta velvet chair. We love adding texture to a space, and velvet is always a favorite to incorporate. This red velvet tufted armchair from Overstock will add character wherever it goes in your home. Feeling really brave? Consider a Viva Magenta sofa or loveseat in your living room instead.

Throw In Some Pillows

If you like to mix up your décor often, try adding magenta throw pillows into the rotation. What about your bedding and bathroom towels? The beauty of things like throw pillows, sheets, and linens is that they can be switched up as often as your heart desires—every year, every season, or simply whenever you’re craving new energy in your home. We’re loving this geometric floral bedding and these Viva Magenta Orchid pillows on Etsy.

Roll Out the Red Carpet

bright magenta area rug evolve pantone blog

Bring some warmth to your space with a Viva Magenta area rug. Keep it subtle with hints of red or really bring the heat with a bolder rug. This is a great option if you’re the type of person who likes to change your décor often. Keep what you’ve got in terms of furniture and consider switching out your area rugs when you’re ready to shake things up.

A Home with Art

Unique art is the perfect way to liven up your walls without going all-in with paint or wallpaper. We love this magenta and gold abstract print from Wayfair. Want something with texture? Check out this deep-fuchsia-dyed feather arrangement from Z Gallerie. For art you can customize, we’re loving this 3-piece Matisse Viva Magenta printable from Etsy.

Keeping Things Fresh

If you’re not in the mood to make any major changes to your space, there are so many beautiful pieces of smaller décor you can add to what you’ve got. Remember that even the smallest pieces can make a big statement. Think candles (like these at Anthropologie), stoneware in your kitchen (like this stunning set at Home Depot), or flower arrangements (like this flawless bouquet from the Floral Design Institute).

How are you decorating your home with Pantone’s Color of the Year?

With 40+ communities in various stages of development, construction, and lease-up as we close on quarter four this year, we’re excited to announce we have even more magic up our sleeves coming in 2023.

Another cherry on top of 2022 was our recognition by the National Multifamily Housing Council as a Top 25 Largest Builder in the US.

Fall Wreath Ideas to Spice Up Your Autumn Décor

Spice Up Your Autumn Décor With These Wreath Ideas

It’s hard to believe we’re already fully in the fall season! Here at Evolve, we want your apartment to feel like a home, and what better way than by embracing autumn?! No matter your style or vibe, there are so many fun ways to decorate your apartment home for the fall. Check out these 5 fall wreath ideas we love to spice up your autumn décor this season!

Natural & Neutral

We’re all about this simple neutral wreath from Pottery Barn. Apart from being pre-lit, this idea would be an easy one to replicate! The natural vibe the branches create makes it perfect for any home. We love it with the white pumpkins, gourds, and leaves, but you can add in any pops of color that go well with your décor!

Keep It Traditional

traditional gold and brown fall wreath evolve blog

We love this Williams-Sonoma wreath that epitomizes the sunset hues of autumn! If you’re into more of the traditional fall foliage and color palette, this beauty is the way to go. Golden wheat, orange and brown leaves, and yellow wildflowers make for a stunning fall wreath to spice up your décor.

Citrus & Spice & Everything Nice

Nothing says the holiday season quite like the scent of citrus and cinnamon. Incorporating these delicious smells into your fall wreath will certainly spice up your front door décor! Get creative with your fruit—you don’t even have to stick with citrus. Apples, oranges, lemons, and quince will all make for a yummy feast for the eyes!

Dark & Woodsy

pheasant feather woodsy fall wreath evolve blog

We’re really diggin’ this dark, woodsy wreath from Williams-Sonoma. With deep plum tones, pheasant feathers, and dried pomegranate, it’s the perfect wreath to get you in an autumnal mood. You can also add in some pinecones and spruce twigs to make it even woodsier!

Minimalist Magic

Looking for a wreath with more of a modern twist? We really love that you can use anything as a base for your fall wreath, and it doesn’t have to be super busy! Try starting with a metal hoop or even a geometric shape and add anything you want to just one portion. The sweet simplicity of this pinecone and eucalyptus wreath from this stunning Etsy shop is such a great option!

How are you spicing up your fall décor this season?

Your front door is the first thing your guests see! We’d love to see how you’re making it cozy this season. Be sure to post photos and tag us on IG so we can see how you #evolvethewayyoulive and spice up your autumn décor this season!

How we’re evolving in 2022

It’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through 2022! Here at Evolve, we know the importance of continuing the evolution all year. We’re all about creating apartment homes that feel like your own personal oasis, and we’ve got a lot of projects up our sleeves that fit the bill! Keep reading for all the juicy details on two of our newest projects in the works, Hawthorne at Whitehall and Hawthorne at Daniel Island.

Hawthorne at Whitehall

What’s new in 2022 in North Carolina?

Within the heart of Charlotte, NC, Hawthorne at Whitehall is located minutes from Uptown, South End, Ballantyne, Charlotte Douglas International Airport, and South Park. We love that the community is just a mile from Topgolf and the Ayrsley retail corridor and is only a few miles from Charlotte Premium Outlets. While Whitehall is right in the mix, it will also have a suburban feel surrounding Johnston Lake and plenty of green space.

Hawthorne at Whitehall apartments and townhomes will have open-concept floorplans and high-end upscale urban interior finishes. Not only are the apartment interiors stunning, but residents can also make themselves at home in the luxury clubhouse with a Resident Lounge. Enjoy daily Starbucks coffee available in the chef’s kitchen, a billiards and game room, cyber café, and package lockers. You’ll also have a 24-hour gym with cardio, fitness on demand, CrossFit-style powerlifting, and yoga right at your fingertips.

Outdoors, residents can relax at the resort-style saltwater pool with poolside cabanas and cushioned lounge furniture. There will also be an outdoor bar with granite countertops and flatscreen TVs. The outdoor kitchen will feature stainless steel grills. A grilling pavilion and lounge, dog park with agility equipment, pet spa, and a playground are just a few of the other outdoor amenities to enjoy. Residents can also take advantage of bike and kayak storage on the property.

Check out these incredible concept photos of what’s to come at Hawthorne at Whitehall.

Hawthorne at Daniel Island

The evolution continues in Charleston, SC!

Hawthorne at Daniel Island will encompass two midrise buildings overlooking the Cooper River and marsh. The community will feature design elements that complement and blend with the natural beauty of the area.

One of the two buildings will offer an amenity space with a clubroom, game room, cyber café, and fitness center, all looking out over the elevated saltwater swimming pool and lounge area. The second building will feature an elevated courtyard with a beautifully landscaped gathering area with a pavilion, TVs, swing, hammocks, and courtyard games. Residents can also enjoy a penthouse-level community indoor/outdoor lounge overlooking the Cooper River and the city of Charleston.

One of our favorite things about Hawthorne at Daniel Island is the community dock that can be used for hanging out in the sun, socializing, crabbing, fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding.

Simplifying Your Apartment Home for Summer

Jenny Yarborough Uncategorized 2022, amenities, apartmentliving, asheville, construction, cullowhee, evolve, evolvecompanies, evolvecos, evolvethewayyoulive, explore, knoxville, lovewhereyoulive, luxuryapartments, luxuryliving, modernliving, ncapartmenthomes, northcarolina, propertymanagement, resolutions, simplify, sneadsferry, southcarolina, spartanburg, spring, spring clean, summer, summertime, tennessee, thewayyoulive

How to simplify and thrive in your apartment home this summer

Let’s face it—the idea that a cluttered home creates a cluttered mind has a lot of truth behind it! Here at Evolve, we want your space to feel like a breath of fresh air—your very own oasis. Summer is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to focus on decluttering. Check out these 5 ways to simplify your apartment home for summer.

Refresh your pantry

simplify for spring blog evolve pantry storage

Evolve communities like Surf City and Mountain View have spacious pantries that can make kitchen organization a breeze! We love the idea of wire or sweetgrass bins to organize all the goodies you store in your pantry, like pastas, legumes, dried fruit and nuts, sauces, and snacks. Air-tight clear containers are perfect for housing your flour, oats, quinoa, lentils, and rice.

The more inviting and accessible your pantry is, the more you’ll want to use what you have! If you don’t have a pantry, that’s okay! Simply use a larger cabinet to store your dried goods.

Less is more!

Cozy winter months often means more time spent indoors. The more time we spend inside, the more décor and other knickknacks we usually accumulate throughout the house. Give your apartment home a quick walkthrough and notice what’s lying around that either serves no purpose or that doesn’t offer a sense of joy!

Do you still have winter candles out, or a stack of books that needs refreshing? Less is more—especially in the spring and summer! Start a pile of items to donate or sell. Create a space that feels light and airy this season!

Store winter clothes

One of our least favorite things about winter are the big, puffy coats that typically live draped over a chair in the living room or hanging on a hook next to the door. With cold weather in the rearview, it’s a great time to have all your coats cleaned before putting them away until next season.

If you have storage space on the top shelf of a closet, neatly store your coats in a plastic bin so they’re completely out of the way until you need them next. This way, you can free up space in your coat closet for beach chairs and pool bags!

Give your plants some love

Now is the perfect time to check in on your plant babies! Some of them can likely use a little extra love after colder months when the heat is on in your apartment. It’s a good idea to repot plants occasionally, so that they have fresh soil and maybe a little more space for their roots if needed.

Are any of your plants getting a bit leggy? Grab some small vases and jars for propagating anything that feels too overgrown. We also love adding freshly cut flowers as a centerpiece on the kitchen island or coffee table!

Spring clean!

Spring is almost in the rearview, so it’s the perfect time to get a deep cleaning in before summer officially arrives! That’s much easier to do when your home feels a little less cluttered. Dedicate one day to each thing you want to focus on: windows and blinds, baseboards, dusting surfaces and cleaning the floors.

As you move through your home, you’ll likely find a few more items here and there that you’re ready to let go of. Spend some time giving your apartment home those finishing touches it needs so you can simplify your space this summer!

What have Evolve communities been up to this past season?

Evolve communities are all about celebrating their residents! This past season they’ve hosted events, scavenger hunts, and other games for their communities to have fun with. There are also tons of great community upgrades in the works that will make time spent at home even better!

Evolve at Stones Bay hid a “pot of gold” somewhere their community every day during the week of St. Patrick’s Day. Each winner received a gift card to a local small business. They also held a guessing contest with a jar of Skittles and a jar of Lucky Charms marshmallows. Amazon gift cards went to the residents with the closest guesses!

Some awesome community upgrades are coming to Mountain View this season. They’ll be adding a package room as well as adding a gazebo and sitting areas to the garden so that residents can enjoy green space with a mountain view!

Mountain View also had a snow photo contest in January with $75 and $50 gift cards given to first and second place and $10 gift cards given to anyone who submitted a photo!

1701 North served Valentine’s Day treats to their residents, and one day each month the Mex Etc. food truck stops by for residents to enjoy!

Evolve Surf City and 808 West also celebrated Valentine’s Day with sweet treats for their residents!
