Urban Infill Homebuilder in Charlotte, NC

JCB Urban is a design-build homebuilder focused on urban infill in Charlotte, NC. We build single-family homes and townhomes in established neighborhoods like First Ward, Plaza-Midwood, Villa Heights, Oakhurst, and Druid Hills, places with decades of character behind them.

Infill is a different kind of work than building in a subdivision. Lots are narrow. Trees are old and worth saving. Setbacks, sightlines, and neighbors all matter. Making a new home feel like it's always been there, while giving the family inside everything a modern home should offer, takes a team that's done it before.

We've been at it for over 25 years. Alongside our custom and on-your-lot work, we've partnered with non-profits and local governments to deliver more than 300 affordable homes, duplexes, and workforce housing units across Mecklenburg County. That experience shapes how we approach every infill project: responsibly, in context, and with an eye on what a neighborhood actually needs next.

From the first lot walk through the final punch list, one design-build team handles acquisition, design, permitting, and construction. No handoffs between a builder and an architect, no surprises between phases.

If you own a lot in Charlotte, are looking at one, or just want to know what's possible on the block you love, we'd like to hear from you.
