Alliance Residential Eyes Four Sites in Charlotte Area as it Plans for More Expansion

Alliance Residential Company is proud to announce the promotion of Andrew Howe to Managing Director of the Mid-Atlantic region. With a sharp focus on Charlotte, Raleigh/Durham, and Charleston, South Carolina, Howe steps into this role bringing deep market knowledge and a proven track record — having joined Alliance in 2018 and most recently serving as Development Director. His promotion is a reflection of our commitment to building best-in-class leadership across our fastest-growing markets.

“In this role, with how Alliance is set up, it’s almost like you’re the CEO of your own business,” he said. “My job here is going out to source development sites through land brokers, getting them under contract, due diligence work, getting the lender on board — basically the full entitlement process.”

Howe said he plans to continue on the same growth path as his predecessor, keeping Charlotte in the forefront. He replaces Donald Santos, who was promoted as Alliance’s new Senior Managing Director for Southeast and the Mid-Atlantic regions.

“Charlotte is our backyard, so I don’t ever want to miss out on an opportunity here,” Howe said. “We’ve done a really good job since putting a flag in the ground in 2016 and have a dominant market share here and in the Carolinas.”

Howe’s promotion was one of four that also included Santos, Carter Brehm as Managing Director of the Georgia region and Stephen Keller as Managing Director of the Tennessee region.

“Our strategic plan is to continue to expand our opportunities on the East Coast. These promotions reflect our commitment to that strategy and allow us to have greater market coverage and presence in key East Coast markets,” said Jay Hiemenz, chairman and CEO of Alliance. “As we continue to scale in the East, these leaders will be instrumental in driving growth and ensuring our development projects remain best-in-class.”
