35 years. $11 billion in project pursuits. From Chicago's most iconic skyscrapers to sovereign-level negotiations for the Waldorf Astoria NYC — Charles Everhardt operates at a scale few developers reach.
In June 2021, Charles orchestrated a landmark simultaneous closing of 11 hotels across 8 states — $225M acquisition basis, 3,400+ keys, 1.55M square feet. The portfolio was repositioned and divested for over $400 Million, delivering exceptional returns to investment partners.
From a career that started in entertainment — promoting Frank Sinatra, Muhammad Ali, and the Beach Boys — Charles Everhardt brought that same instinct for recognizing transformative opportunity into real estate. The ability to see what others overlook, and to build the relationships that make the impossible possible.
Today, Lockwood Development Partners operates across hospitality, adaptive reuse, digital infrastructure, and entertainment-anchored development — with a portfolio and track record that spans every major market cycle.
