About Us

Building Into Charlotte for 25+ Years

JCB Urban is a Charlotte design-build infill homebuilder. We craft modern single-family homes and townhomes that fit their neighborhoods — and we partner with non-profits and government to deliver affordable and workforce housing across Mecklenburg County.

Infill is a different kind of building

JCB Urban is a design-build homebuilder focused on urban infill in Charlotte. 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 has always been there, while giving the family inside everything a modern home should offer, takes a team that's done it before.

25+ years — and a record that shapes how we build

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.

One team, from first lot walk to final punch list

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.
