Walton Global Expands North Carolina Portfolio with Strategic Acquisition in Brunswick County’s High-Growth Corridor
Walton Global, a leading real estate investment and land asset management firm, has announced the acquisition of Rolling Hills, a 28.11-acre property located in Brunswick County, North Carolina. The acquisition was made through Walton’s Finished Lot Program (FLP)—a vehicle designed to deliver cash-flowing land assets to investors while meeting strong builder demand in key U.S. growth markets.
Rolling Hills is slated for 288 residential lots and is strategically located at the intersection of Old Lennon Road and NC Highway 211—just a short drive from Wilmington International Airport, Holden Beach, and Myrtle Beach. The property is positioned in a region experiencing increasing population and economic growth, creating a significant opportunity for advisors seeking regional diversification, inflation-hedged returns, and predictable annual cash flows.
Brunswick County ranks among the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the U.S., posting one of the highest annual growth rates in 2023. The eighth-largest metro in North Carolina by population, the region’s economic strength is fueled by key industries such as education, healthcare, manufacturing, finance, and aerospace-making it a prime location for sustainable residential development.
“We’re proud to expand our footprint in Brunswick County with the Rolling Hills acquisition,” said Michael Slavotinek, Vice President, Carolinas at Walton Global. “This property reflects the exciting growth happening across the region, and we’re eager to help shape its future with a vibrant, well-planned community that supports both local demand and long-term investment goals.”
Through Walton’s FLP, the Rolling Hills project allows investors to capitalize on these macro trends with a phased exit strategy aligned for builder takedowns, mitigating market timing risk while providing exposure to a tangible, growth-driven asset class.
The proposed community will also feature a 60’ x 108’ recreation hub with pickleball and basketball courts, reflecting the growing demand for wellness-focused, amenity-rich residential environments.
