K2HN Construction LLC, a design-build contractor serving the Charlotte region, has transitioned to new ownership following a highly competitive, sub-three-month sales process led by IAG M&A Advisors.
K2HN operates as a design-build and general contracting firm with experience in multifamily, commercial, retail, and residential projects in the Charlotte area.
The flood of interest — nearly 600 NDAs and multiple competitive offers — created a true bidding dynamic that pushed the final purchase price above initial valuations, delivering a premium result for the sellers.
Deal highlights
-
Speed to close: The entire process closed in under three months, a testament to focused positioning and high buyer demand.
-
Extensive buyer interest: Nearly 600 non-disclosure agreements were executed, producing numerous qualified offers and enabling a strong competitive dynamic.
-
Strategic financing: IAG introduced the lending partner who funded the individual investor buyer, ensuring a clean capital structure and a smooth transfer of ownership.
-
Collective effort: The transaction was managed by a deal team led by Steve Barnette and Flavia Milano, with the client services group providing critical behind-the-scenes support.
Why this process worked
-
Broad, targeted exposure. The campaign reached a large, relevant buyer universe and created a competitive environment that helped surface the best strategic fit.
-
Buyer qualification at scale. Running a high-volume NDA process allowed the team to quickly qualify offers and focus due diligence on the most credible buyers.
-
Lender alignment. Introducing a committed lending partner early helped the buyer secure funding and reduced execution risk as the process moved toward close.
Looking ahead
Under new ownership, K2HN is positioned to continue delivering design-build services across the region and to scale on its existing project experience. The buyer’s planned investment and hands-on approach should support new growth initiatives while maintaining the company’s local presence.
