Targeting some of the area’s most desirable yet supply-constrained submarkets, Mattamy Homes has acquired two sites in the Charlotte, North Carolina, region. The strategic purchases further the company’s commitment to expanding housing options in the area’s high-demand communities.
The first, which is a 65-acre site in Mooresville, will become Lanterna. The community will include 187 single-family homes, five pocket parks, a mile of paved walking trails, and a dedicated dog park. Residents will be near downtown Mooresville, top-rated schools, and major employment centers, all with Interstate 77 just four miles away.
“Lanterna represents Mattamy’s confidence in the long-term growth of the Mooresville–Lake Norman market and our commitment to delivering thoughtfully planned communities,” says Mike Smedley, director of marketing for Mattamy’s Charlotte division. “Our vision for Lanterna is to create a neighborhood that blends quality homes with meaningful amenities, supporting homebuyers who want to be part of a thriving region.”
A 29-acre site in Cramerton will become Riverloom on the Southfork, a community with 61 brick ranch single-family homes. Riverloom will offer paved greenway walking trails and direct connectivity to the Carolina Thread Trail. Mattamy is giving 7.1 acres for a riverfront public park.
“This acquisition underscores Mattamy’s commitment to thoughtful growth and community investment across the Charlotte region,” says Smedley. “Riverloom on the Southfork will offer quality homes, scenic riverfront surroundings, and public spaces that enrich Cramerton’s community and provide lasting value for future homeowners.”
Site work for Lanterna and Riverloom on the Southfork is slated for early 2026. The two communities will strengthen Mattamy’s presence in the Charlotte region.
