We are a mother – daughter team reviving forgotten buildings in Western North Carolina.

Every building has a story. We help it evolve.

Shereen and Wendy bring decades of combined experience, blending business, real estate, and design. Their focus: transforming vacant or underused properties into inspiring spaces where small businesses can grow.

Instead of gutting or erasing history, each project starts with curiosity—studying a building’s original architecture, then restoring and refining it with modern function. Nothing is cookie-cutter; every space is custom, layered, and continually evolving.

A balanced approach: strategy + soul.
Shereen leads design, vision, and development strategy—shaped by her background in corporate real estate, value-add projects, and space planning.

Wendy leads operations and tenant relationships, bringing a grounded, relational approach to each property. Together, they create environments that are thoughtful and alive with character.

Rooted in community. Built for business.
Their work isn't just about buildings—it’s about supporting the entrepreneurs who bring them to life.

Values

Creativity – We imagine what a space could be—and design for possibility, not convention.

Stewardship – We honor a building’s past while thoughtfully adapting it for modern use.

Community – We believe small businesses shape the fabric of a place, and we create spaces where they can take root and grow.

Excellence – We bring rigor, craft, and detail to every decision.

Collaboration – We partner with local stakeholders to create shared success.

SPACE MATTERS

We believe that well-designed environments enhance productivity and creativity, and our mission is to create these spaces for our community.

By revitalizing existing infrastructure and giving it new life, we contribute to the preservation of our architectural heritage.
