New Development Spotlight

Hawthorne at Whitehall: A New Chapter in Charlotte

We’re thrilled to share exciting news about Hawthorne at Whitehall, our brand-new luxury community in the vibrant city of Charlotte, North Carolina. This stunning property offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments and townhome-style residences, each designed with upscale finishes and modern conveniences. Inside, residents enjoy open-concept layouts with quartz countertops, designer tile backsplashes, stainless steel appliances, and luxury plankstyle flooring. Every home includes a washer and dryer, and select homes feature vaulted ceilings, built-in benches, and private garages for added comfort.

The amenity experience at Hawthorne at Whitehall is equally impressive. Residents can relax at the custom saltwater swimming pool with a sun shelf and inset seating, gather at the poolside cabana with a flat-screen TV and grilling pavilion, or enjoy the cozy firepit with ambient lighting. Fitness enthusiasts have access to a 24-hour expansive fitness center, a dedicated fitness studio, and even a golf and sports simulator. Additional conveniences include a resident lounge with a Starbucks coffee bar, cybercafé and co-working space, an indoor pet spa, a leash-free dog park with agility equipment, EV charging stations, and valet trash service.

Located near Whitehall Corporate Center and Renaissance Park, this community offers easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment, as well as Charlotte’s cultural landmarks like the NASCAR Hall of Fame and Levine Museum of the New South. We’ll officially celebrate the grand opening in January, and the property is already thriving at 85% leased and 80% occupied. A huge thank-you to our on-site team for their hard work and dedication in creating an exceptional Hawthorne experience and bringing this vision to life!

Resident Services Rundown

As we slide into the final stretch of the year (fueled by caffeine, candy canes, and sheer determination), the Resident Services Department is here with your End-of-Year Wrap-Up. Consider this your festive reminder that preparedness, teamwork, and good lighting are the gifts that keep on giving.

You may remember our early season push to get ahead of the cold weather, because nothing says “Happy Holidays” like preventing frozen pipes.

Quick Recap: 5 Reminders for the Holiday Season

1. Winter Prep Essentials

• Review of the Winter Prep Checklist on Air Mason

• Stock up on essential supplies: pipe fittings, insulation, salt, sand, filters, portable heaters

• Prep holiday service workflows and ensure we have backup appliances on hand

• Finalize on-call schedules through year-end

• Update make-ready schedules

• Maintain vacant units at 65°F minimum (because frozen pipes are not the kind of surprise anyone wants)

• Ensure riser room heaters are set appropriately

• Encourage residents to open cabinets and report drips during freezing temps

• Flag and document high-risk areas before problems start

2. Holiday Décor & Safety

It’s the season for twinkling lights and potential fire hazards, so:

• Use only portable rolling-type heat pumps (no space heaters, please!)

• Inspect extension cords for UL listing & proper gauge

• Keep décor clear of sprinkler heads, smoke detectors, and exits

• Use UL-rated lights and battery-powered candles in the common area

3. Trash, Deliveries & Holiday Cleanliness

With packages and parties on the rise:

• Stay ahead of bulk pick-ups

• Keep dumpsters tidy and break down boxes

• Report missed pick-ups early

• Set and communicate a Christmas tree disposal area throughout the holiday season

4. Scheduled Maintenance

Wrapping up the year like pros!

• Occupied and vacant unit inspections

• Exterior building checks

• HVAC service & filter changes

• Preventative maintenance completed before holiday emergencies could make guest appearances

5. Lighting Inspections

With early sunsets and increased resident activity, lighting inspections matter more than ever:

• Reduce liability

• Enhance safety & visibility

• Support security

• Make our communities shine brighter than Rudolph’s nose

Check timers, bulbs, and fixtures—and update lighting maps where needed.

If an area is dark, let’s fix it.

Cheers to a Bright and Merry New Year!

Your hard work and dedication are what make our communities warm, welcoming, and well-run.

Thank you for your professionalism, teamwork, and commitment to resident satisfaction.

Let’s keep the momentum and the lights bright as we head into 2026.

Driven by Your Voice: 2025 Software Support Updates

As we wrap up a busy year, we’re excited to share the enhancements and system improvements that you inspired across Hawthorne. Every update was shaped by what you told us would make your work easier and improve the resident experience. Thank you for your continued partnership— your insight made 2025 a year of meaningful enhancements.

Throughout the year, you shared what slowed you down and what would make your workflows clearer and faster. The Software Support team listened, and your feedback directly guided each improvement.

Leasing Made Simple

You shared the need for a smoother leasing experience. In response, we completed the rollout of the RentCafe Leasing Workflow, allowing for faster, cleaner lease signing, fewer errors, and consistent steps across communities. This update supports a more predictable process for both teams and residents.

Payments, Simplified

You also highlighted the need for clearer, more efficient payment workflows. Because of your feedback, the NSF block was removed, NSF posting is now automated, check rescanning speeds up processing, and deposit refunds are visible in Payscan. These changes reduce delays and make payment tasks easier to manage. Watch for future enhancements, including Text to Pay!

Tools That Put You in Control

Many of you asked for more autonomy in daily tasks. This year, we introduced features that give you the keys to move through essential work with fewer steps. Community Managers can now promote roommates directly, bulk charges can be added more easily, deposit refund forwarding is streamlined, and Payscan visibility is improved for quicker updates. These enhancements were built to support the way you work.

Looking Ahead to 2026

Your input continues to guide our priorities. We welcome your ideas through Hawthorne Voices and are always here to support you. If you need assistance, please enter a support ticket, and our team will be glad to help.

Time with HRP?

About 6 months.

What do you love most about HRP?

I love the people here at HRP most. This is the best work environment, and everyone here is so passionate about what they do. It inspires me to do my best work, and it makes the teamwork so enjoyable. I’m very thankful to be here!

What do you do outside of Hawthorne?

Outside of Hawthorne, you can find me riding my gravel bike, running, or reading!

If you had 3 wishes, what would they be?

If I had three wishes, the first would be for everyone to do a selfless act daily. The second would be for bike rides not to be so cold in the winter! The third would be that everyone had access to healthy food and clean water.

Michael Zolyniak

Regional Manager

Time with HRP?

I joined HRP on June 2, 2025, and from day one, I felt truly welcomed by my RVP, Stephanie Smardo, and the entire corporate support team. The genuine and helpful nature of everyone at HRP has been remarkable. When it comes to the onsite teams, I’ve been impressed by the capability and care shown by those running our properties daily.

What do you love most about HRP?

While property management can be fast-paced and sometimes chaotic, the collaboration between onsite teams and the support team has made my time here both productive and enjoyable. HRP’s strong culture really stands out. You can feel that the support team genuinely cares about associates, not just professionally, but personally as well. It’s always easier to give your best when you know the company has your best interest at heart.

What do you do outside of Hawthorne?

Outside of work, I love spending time with my family. Living in sunny Florida means plenty of beach days and endless opportunities for fun. One of my favorite experiences is watching my son’s excitement at Disney; it’s hard to beat that kind of joy!

If you had 3 wishes, what would they be?

1. Health and happiness for my family and friends.

2. A world that values kindness and understanding, where differences of opinion help us grow rather than divide us.

3. For my son to always want to spend time with me, even as he grows older.

Five Star Resident Reviews

Haven at Research Triangle Park

By: Rebecca Jones / Google

My first interaction driving to Haven was wow! This community is so nice, clean and beautiful trees were changing for fall. I made an appointment to see a 1-bedroom and I was able to share the top things I was looking for. At first, I was nervous that I couldn’t afford this place. But Toni, who works in the leasing office was determined to keep looking at available units. She found one that would be within my price range, and we went to view it. The apartment had everything I need. The added bonus of the amenities offered in the leasing office included a gym, pool table, library, office center, pool, kitchen and ability to rent for a party or event is so special. Stevie from the leasing office came to greet me and just encouraged me that North Carolina has things that my hometown had like green chile. I’m now living at this residence, and I love it so so much!!!!

Hawthorne at Traditions By: Anonymous / ApartmentRatings.com

I moved in a 1-bedroom/1-bathroom about a year ago and I have been in love with these apartments since I moved in. The space is modern and clean and cozy and overlooks a cute courtyard. The amenities are awesome and includes a golf simulator and a pretty well-equipped gym. The big kickers are the two themed rooms per floor open to residents (a gift-wrapping room with themed gift wrap for the holidays, and a podcasting room, just to name a few). The staff at the front office are always super polite and accommodating and take care of any work orders I have right away. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Hawthorne at Whitehall By: Anonymous / Apartments.com

I have thoroughly enjoyed being a resident at Hawthorne at Whitehall for the past few months! The resident events are always creative and fun, giving us an opportunity to meet and interact with our neighbors. The staff is always helpful and available when we need them. The property is beautifully landscaped and well maintained. This has been such an amazing experience!

Evolve

Huntersville Apartment Homes By:

Janitzia Villalobos / Google

I absolutely love this modern, new, and luxurious apartment complex. It stands out for its beauty and excellent atmosphere. The entire place is very well maintained, and the office staff is extremely friendly and professional. Definitely a place where living is a true pleasure.

Hawthorne Holidays

Project Hope

At Hawthorne, Project Hope is more than an event; it’s a cherished tradition that reflects our commitment to giving back. Each year, we come together with one purpose: to spread hope, warmth, and kindness through simple acts and meaningful moments of connection.

This year’s Project Hope was a beautiful reminder of what we can accomplish when we come together. From heartfelt conversations to hands-on efforts, every contribution made a difference in the lives of those around us. Whether it was volunteering time, sharing resources, or simply offering a smile, these gestures created ripples of positivity throughout our communities.

Thank you to everyone who made this year’s Project Hope so special! Your dedication and compassion are the heart of this tradition. This day would not be possible without your daily effort and unwavering commitment.

Staying Vape-Free

Breath Strong. Move Strong. Live Strong: The Fitness Perks of Staying Vape-Free

When it comes to feeling your best, in workouts and in everyday life, your breath, energy, and health matter. While vaping is marketed as a safer alternative to smoking, it still carries many health risks.

Better Breathing Means Better Performance

Vaping can cause irritation and inflammation in the lungs and airways, triggering asthma attacks. When you’re vape-free, your lungs work the way they’re meant to: you breathe more easily, feel less winded, and build endurance faster. Whether you’re taking a fitness class or just taking the stairs, strong lungs make a big difference.

Steadier Energy & Clearer Focus

Most vape devices contain high levels of nicotine. Nicotine creates a cycle of quick boosts and sudden crashes. Nicotine can also worsen anxiety, sleep problems, and mood swings. While you may feel a temporary relief after vaping, it can lead to cycles of withdrawal and dependence. Without nicotine, you will experience better workouts, better recovery, and fewer midday slumps.

A Happier, Healthier Heart

Your heart drives every action your body takes. Nicotine, along with other chemicals found in vaping, can raise your blood pressure, increase your heart rate, and increase the risk of heart disease over time. Staying vape-free reduces strain on your heart, helping lower resting heart rate and improve circulation. That adds up to stronger workouts and an easier time staying active day-to-day.

Three Healthy Alternatives to Vaping

If you’re looking for something to replace the habit, here are a few alternatives to try:

• Chew gum or mints to keep your mouth busy

• Grab a stress ball or fidget when your hands need something to do

• Take a quick walk or stretch break to reset stress and boost energy

Being vape-free isn’t just about avoiding harm; it’s about unlocking your body’s full potential. Better breathing, more energy, and a stronger heart help you feel good and live your healthiest life!

The Gift of Great Hiring

Tips from Your Talent Acquisition Team to End the Year Strong and Start 2026 Even Stronger

The holidays bring more than cheer! They bring a powerful hiring advantage as you prepare your team for a strong start to 2026. While many organizations slow down, Hawthorne can use this season to attract motivated candidates and get ahead for the new year.

Hot Hiring during the Holidays

As people reflect on their goals, job searching naturally increases in December and early January. With fewer companies actively hiring, our openings stand out, and candidates are often more flexible, motivated, and ready for a change.

This season also brings retail and hospitality workers who excel with people and often seek stable, full-time roles after the holiday rush. Many are a great match for our communities.

All Hands On Deck: How Your Team Can Make an Impact

• Share job openings across your network and social media.

• Notice great service while shopping or traveling and direct strong talent to our careers page. Don’t forget to submit an Employee Referral for some extra holiday cash!

• Act quickly with December applicants. Warm, timely communication helps secure top candidates.

Looking Ahead to 2026: Preparing for Greenhouse Recruiting!

This time of year naturally brings moments of connection, reflection, and planning for what is ahead. It is the perfect opportunity to look toward your 2026 staffing needs, begin building a strong talent bench, and get familiar with our new recruiting system, Greenhouse Recruiting. Welcoming new team members into the Hawthorne family will be even easier with Greenhouse, and every referral, shared post, and act of support helps us strengthen our communities for the year ahead.

25 Ways to Win with People

by John C. Maxwell

25 Ways to Win with People is a practical, easyto-apply guide for leaders and anyone seeking to strengthen their people skills. The book focuses on building meaningful relationships through intentional, positive actions. Maxwell provides clear, actionable strategies to help others feel valued—such as offering public praise, giving people a positive reputation to live up to, and encouraging their dreams. The central idea is simple but powerful: when you make people feel good about themselves, you build stronger relationships and create greater success in both leadership and life.

The book emphasizes starting with personal growth, creating shared experiences, and intentionally focusing on others’ strengths, motivations, and aspirations.

Key Principles from the Book:

• Start with Yourself: You can’t give what you don’t have; invest in your own emotional and personal growth first.

• Make People Feel Good: When people feel valued, they are more willing to support and work with you.

• Compliment in Front of Others: Public praise strengthens confidence and builds trust.

• Give a Reputation to Uphold: Assigning positive traits encourages people to rise to expectations.

• Encourage Their Dreams: Ask about their goals, affirm their potential, and support their journey.

• Pass the Credit: Recognize and acknowledge others’ contributions.

• Create and Revisit Memories: Shared positive experiences strengthen relationships.

• Find the Keys to Their Hearts: Understand what motivates and matters most to them.

• Be the First to Help: Take initiative in serving others.
