At Northwood Ravin, giving back to the community is something that happens year-round. Our Charlotte corporate office and site teams are proud to have partnered with the Salvation Army Angel Tree program, bringing holiday joy to families in need!
A History of the Angel Tree Program
The Salvation Army Angel Tree program began in 1979 in Lynchburg, Virginia, thanks to the vision of local Salvation Army officers. They sought to make the holiday season brighter for families in need by providing gifts and essentials for children and seniors. By 1980, the program expanded to Nashville, Tennessee, and over the years, it has grown into a nationwide initiative, impacting millions of lives.
Northwood Ravin’s Angel Tree Initiative
The Northwood Ravin Charlotte corporate office launched their Angel Tree the week prior to Thanksgiving, offering all Charlotte employees the opportunity to bless either a child or grandparent. By participating in the Angel Tree program, Northwood Ravin employees are helping ensure that every family feels the warmth and magic of the season.
Join Us in Making a Difference
The holidays are a time for giving, and Northwood Ravin is honored to contribute to the incredible work of the Salvation Army Angel Tree program. We encourage others to join in this meaningful tradition and make the holidays special for those in need.
Stay tuned for more updates on our community involvement and the impact of this year’s Angel Tree initiative.
The thrilling search for the Sloan Spy came to an exciting close on November 11, 2024, after a competitive chase that saw over 200 participants racing to unlock clues and decode riddles.
Evan Degraggenriedt, Lauren Carroll, and Engie Ramirez formed a team and traveled across Lower South End to visit local businesses in search of five keys. After learning about I Spy Sloan from a CLTBucketList post on Instagram, the trio signed up and set out to explore new spots and check out The Sloan at LoSo.
“We made sure we didn’t eat because we knew a lot of them were restaurants,” said Degraggenriedt. “Then we went in an order that was closest and made a whole day out of it!”
The I Spy Sloan campaign, designed to boost awareness of The Sloan at LoSo and show off the Lower South End neighborhood, offered participants the chance to discover new local gems. Reflecting on the experience, Ramirez shared, “all the places we went to were new, so it was fun to explore new places.”
The Sloan at LoSo, a Northwood Ravin Signature Community, is making a splash in the Lower South End neighborhood. Since opening its doors in September, it’s become a trendsetter with its stunningly designed apartments and dynamic community campaigns!
Inside The Sloan, kitchens offer ample storage with floor-to-ceiling cabinets and top-of-the-line appliances. In line with the community’s emphasis on green space, most apartments feature oversized balconies. Ramirez was particularly impressed by the Eurotub—an integrated bathtub and shower feature that extends the spa-like ambiance of The Sloan throughout the entire apartment.
Get ready for an exciting adventure in the Lower South End neighborhood! The search for the illusive Sloan Spy starts on November 11, and participants can find them once they have collected five keys.
Participants must visit five of the eight participating businesses around Lower South End, which can be found on the I Spy Sloan website. A purchase must be made from the business to earn a key or participants can tour The Sloan at LoSo to earn two keys.
Once all keys are collected, participants must follow the Sloan Spy’s Instagram page for daily clues to uncover the spy’s hiding spots. Starting on November 11, clues will include cryptic messages and time windows for when the Sloan Spy will be at each location, spanning morning, mid-day, afternoon, and evening, seven days a week, until the Spy is caught.
“Our goal was not only to showcase the community spirit and lifestyle of The Sloan but to highlight the exceptional local businesses that make this area such a unique and vibrant destination,” said graphic designer, Laurel Gabel.
The scavenger hunt was launched with a kick-off event on October 29, 2024, at The Sloan at LoSo’s new Speak Easy, featuring an open bar, hors d’oeuvres, and the elusive Sloan Spy in attendance.
The Sloan Speak Easy is split into a game room and bar. The game room boasts a poker table, shuffleboard and pool table. The other side has a full bar and banquette seating. The entire space is available for resident use throughout the day and rentable for private events.
“We wanted to create a space that was moody and full of intrigue. Warm and inviting but with a touch of whimsy with the finishes and fixtures,” said interior designer, Carol Hall. “The game club side is the active part of the entire space but allows for the Speakeasy side to be more quiet and private.”
Opened in September 2024, The Sloan at LoSo boasts 368 luxury units and plenty of green space. Unique amenities include a dog park, rooftop lounge, spa, and sauna. For a limited time, new applicants can receive up to ten weeks free after touring!
At The Sloan at LoSo, we embrace innovation, believing your home should be a perfect blend of comfort and style—and I couldn’t agree more! As the Community Manager, I’m thrilled to be part of a place where our thoughtfully designed spaces truly reflect that philosophy.
One of my absolute favorite features? Our stunning floor-to-ceiling cabinets and entertainment-ready kitchens. They’re not just beautiful; they’re perfect for hosting gatherings of any size. I often say, “There’s something magical about bringing people together over good food and great conversation.” Whether it’s a big celebration or a cozy dinner with friends, our kitchens—complete with custom wine racks and spacious islands—make every occasion special.
After enjoying a meal at home, the excitement doesn’t have to end. Living in the vibrant LoSo neighborhood means you’re just steps away from some of Charlotte’s best spots. I love recommending local favorites like Goldie’s and State of Confusion to our residents. I often tell them, “The beauty of living here is that you can easily transition from a cozy dinner at home to a fun night out. It’s all about balance!”
At The Sloan, we offer more than just a place to live—we provide a lifestyle that blends the comfort of home with the energy of the neighborhood. I truly believe that a strong community enhances that lifestyle. “Every day, I get to witness the connections that form among our residents,” I say. “It’s these relationships that turn a building into a home.”
I’m passionate about creating a welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels at ease. Whether I’m organizing community events or simply chatting with residents, I love being part of their lives.
So, if you’re looking for a place that embodies comfort, style, and community, I invite you to experience The Sloan at LoSo for yourself. You’ll find not just a beautiful home, but a vibrant lifestyle that makes every day feel special. As I like to say, “Home is where your story begins, and at The Sloan, we’re excited to be part of yours.”

CHARLOTTE – Northwood Ravin is once again partnering with TreesCharlotte as a Poplar planting season partner. TreesCharlotte is a Charlotte based non-profit dedicated to grow, diversify, steward, and educate about Charlotte’s trees and iconic urban forest.
As a Poplar planting season partner, Northwood Ravin will participate in a TreeDay planting where they will plant 68 trees at Long Creek Greenway. The Northwood Ravin team will also engage in a TreeWalk experience and a Lunch and Learn about the importance of the continued health and well-being of Charlotte’s tree canopy.
TreesCharlotte Executive Director Allison Rhodes said, “Our work would not be possible without the dedication and generosity of corporate partners like Northwood Ravin.”
47.3% of Charlotte’s land was covered with tree canopy in 2022, this number is expected to drop to 40% by 2050, TreesCharlotte is dedicated to preventing this devastation. In a study of the urban tree canopy conducted by PlanIT Geo for the City of Charlotte and TreesCharlotte, researchers found that in just four years Charlotte lost 1000-acres of canopy, the size of the UNC Charlotte campus.
Northwood Ravin is also working towards protecting Charlotte’s trees. One of their newest properties, The Sloan at LoSo, is in a tree-save area. The Sloan has more mature trees on site than any new project in all of South End or Lower South End.
“As our city faces potential canopy loss, the support Northwood Ravin offers is crucial for the protection of our beloved tree canopy,” said Rhodes. “We look forward to their hands-on volunteer commitment as well as the financial support they have extended for the past two planting seasons.”

Hurricane Helene brought devastation to the Carolinas in late September, specifically the western part of the states. The mountain towns of North Carolina were destroyed by the storm, and many will never be the same.
The silver lining to the destruction lies with how quick neighbors in the Tar Heel State were to help each other. One of these efforts comes from the biggest names in country music coming together to form the Concert for Carolina.
To support those impacted by Hurricane Helene, Northwood Ravin collected donations for Operation Airdrop in the lobbies of all North Carolina properties and at the corporate office. Northwood Ravin is also giving away two tickets to Concert for Carolina; you can enter the giveaway at The Lodges at Fort Mill website.
Concert for Carolina will take place on October 26, 2024, at Bank of America in Charlotte. Headliners include Luke Combs, Eric Church, Billy Strings, James Taylor, Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban and Bailey Zimmerman. Combs and Church are Western North Carolina natives, and both attended Appalachian State University in Boone, one of the many towns impacted by the storm.
At Northwood Ravin, we believe in supporting our communities, especially during times of crisis. In light of the recent impact of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, we are launching a relief initiative to help those affected by the disaster.
Starting today, we are placing donation boxes in the lobbies of the following properties:
We encourage our residents, staff, and visitors to come together and contribute what they can to this important cause. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a significant difference for families and their pets in need.
Donations will be accepted during business hours at each property through 11 am, Friday, October 4th and Northwood Ravin will deliver all collected items to a central hub in Hickory, NC, where they will be distributed to the affected families.
Let’s come together as a community to offer our support and assistance to those impacted by Hurricane Helene. Together, we can make a difference. ❤️
Thank you in advance for your generosity and kindness!
