Orange Capital Achieves Real Estate Trifecta Across the Carolinas

ORANGEBURG, S.C. - Rezul -- Orange Capital, the real estate development subsidiary of Evans Management Group (EMG), has achieved a strategic trifecta in 2025, advancing three major multi-family residential projects across the Carolinas: commencing land disturbance activities on a new 270 unit apartment development in Fletcher, NC, beginning the lease-up phase of its signature community in Summerville, SC, and profitably exiting a high-performing property in Spartanburg, SC. Key collaborators include CF Evans Construction as the general contractor, as well as other critical partners including PDI Architecture, Dangerfield Engineering & Surveying, and Seamon Whiteside.

Evado at Tap Root
Orange Capital's newest development, Evado at Tap Root is taking shape in Fletcher, NC, just south of Asheville with easy access to I-26. Construction began in May on the 270-unit community, which embraces a mountain-lodge aesthetic highlighted by a dramatic outdoor chimney and patio with sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains—designed to inspire nature-rich, community-focused living. As the second project under the Evado brand, it reflects Orange Capital's continued commitment to lifestyle-driven design.

Residents will enjoy a range of thoughtfully curated amenities including open floor-plans with oversized balconies, fully equipped outdoor community kitchen with pizza oven, dedicated car detail area, and professional dog washing station & dog park. Wellness-focused offerings elevate the experience further, including pickleball courts, an oversized fitness center overlooking a resort-style pool, and a dedicated yoga room—each space crafted to support active, balanced living.
