CF Evans Construction, one of the Southeast’s leading multifamily general contractors, has been selected by Buvermo as the general contractor for Album Dorchester, a new 55-plus active-adult community located in North Charleston, one of the fastest-growing regions in the Southeast.
Located at 8601 Dorchester Road in the greater Charleston metropolitan area, Album Dorchester will deliver a thoughtfully designed residential experience tailored to active adults seeking a vibrant, amenity-rich lifestyle. The community will feature one- and two-bedroom apartments surrounded by lush landscaping and a full suite of resort-style amenities, including a resort-inspired saltwater pool and sun deck, event lawn, fitness and yoga studios, a pet park and spa, grilling stations, walking trails, and a clubhouse with a community lounge and demonstration kitchen designed for social gatherings. Album Dorchester will be professionally managed by Greystar, a global leader in rental housing management.
Since 1978, Buvermo and its affiliated European family offices have provided LP capital to real estate sponsors across asset classes, including multifamily, active adult, office, senior housing, condos, and mixed-use. In 2020, Buvermo partnered with Rinkelberg Capital to establish a vertically integrated real estate investment and development platform focused on demographically driven residential communities. Together with its partners, Buvermo has developed or acquired eight 55+ Living communities since 2022, meeting rapidly rising demand among renters aged 65 to 74 – the fastest-growing renter demographic nationwide – amid a limited national supply of roughly 700 purpose-built active-adult communities.
“CF Evans is proud to partner with Buvermo on this exciting new community in North Charleston,” said David Summers, President of CF Evans Construction. “The Album brand represents a modern approach to active-adult living, focused on community, comfort, and connection. Our team looks forward to bringing this vision to life and continuing to build multifamily communities that serve South Carolinians across generations.”
Construction on Album Dorchester began in September, with pre-leasing slated for the second quarter of 2026.
North Charleston’s population has surged by more than 50% since 2000, driven by strong job growth, expanding retail and healthcare hubs, and its proximity to Charleston’s dynamic metro. As the area continues to attract working professionals and retirees alike, nearly a quarter of residents now fall within the 55-plus age band, underscoring growing demand for housing options that support both active adults and younger households seeking community-oriented multifamily living, making the area an ideal setting for a 55-plus active-adult community.
“We have long admired CF Evans and their reputation throughout the Southeast as an honest, knowledgeable, and highly skilled general contractor,” said Kevin Woodley, Managing Partner of Buvermo. “We have been in conversations with their team for several years, looking for the right opportunity to collaborate, and are fortunate to have found that partnership with the Dorchester project.”
The announcement comes on the heels of CF Evans being awarded the 2222 Main View project in Columbia, South Carolina, a premier 320-unit multifamily development rising along Columbia’s historic Main Street corridor. The back-to-back project wins showcase the company’s continued momentum and trusted reputation as a partner for high-quality multifamily and senior living developments across the Southeast.
Headquartered in Orangeburg, South Carolina, with offices in Charleston and Greenville, CF Evans Construction has completed more than $3.2 billion in projects and 23,000 units across the Southeast. The company is recognized for its expertise in multifamily construction and its enduring culture of integrity, collaboration, and putting people first, which has earned CF Evans a place on SC Biz News’s Best Places to Work in South Carolina list for 17 consecutive years, ranking number three statewide in 2025.
CF Evans was also recently named to Engineering News-Record’s 2025 Top 100 Green Contractors, earning the number 73 spot nationally. This recognition underscores the company’s ongoing commitment to sustainable, high-performance construction practices that deliver long-term value for clients and communities. From energy-efficient multifamily developments to LEED-certified projects across the Southeast, CF Evans integrates green principles into every step of the building process as a standard to uphold.
