On July 1, 1994 Will Whitley created New South Properties of the Carolinas, LLC in the form of Ford Whitley Properties LLC, a boutique commercial real estate leasing and development company.  The company’s breakthrough assignment was landing the exclusive leasing, marketing, outparcel sales and subsequent investment sale of the 800,000 square foot Village at University Place in Charlotte.  From this point on, the company has been Charlotte’s leader in third party retail leasing representing many high profile assignments including ParkTowne Village (Charlotte), The Centrum (Pineville), Grande Promenade II (Charlotte), The Steelyard @ Southend (Charlotte), North Hill Centre (Anderson, SC), Cureton (Waxhaw), Third Street Station (Charlotte), Founders Hall @ Bank of America Corporate Center (Charlotte), The Villa (Charlotte), The Manor Shops (Charlotte), Matthews Plaza (Matthews), The Crossing (Matthews) Mooresville Crossing II and Northeast Plaza (Rock Hill).

In the Spring of 2000 the company officially changed its name and New South Properties of the Carolinas, LLC was born. 

In the Summer of 2003, the company continued to cement its position as a leader in Charlotte real estate with the promotion of their top retail tenant representation broker, Dale Hall, to partner.  The Company’s list of retail clients now includes The GAP, Banana Republic, Staples, Pier 1, Trader Joe’s, Chick-fil-A, and Panda Express.

Today, New South Properties of the Carolinas, LLC has expanded into third party management to further enhance the services they provide.  The company continues to be the leader in retail leasing and has become one of the most prominent property management companies in the region.

Through hard work, creativity, and unmatched integrity, New South Properties of the Carolinas, LLC continues to raise the bar for all commercial real estate companies in Charlotte.
