Tad Braswell

Principal

Born In: Tad was born in Atlanta, GA which helped him develop his early fondness for the stunning architecture and exquisitely designed gardens found in many of the city’s most established neighborhoods.

Industry Expertise: Over the course of a colorful career, Tad has experienced involvement in land development, park designs, industrial designs and even site development for schools before finding his true calling in residential development.

Approach: Wishing to stay true to the feel of the traditional “Old Atlanta” community paired with his diverse background led to his unique application and approach to residential development. Tad aims to create an undeniable sense of place, with his developmental additions to the Atlanta neighborhoods serving as fabric seamlessly woven into the surrounding community with minimal impact on the environment.

Community Involvement: When he’s not working, giving back to the community and fostering the futures of young leaders are important pursuits. With two sons who are Eagle Scouts and a third who is a Boy Scout, Tad is deeply involved with Boy Scouts of America and also serves on the board for Druid Hills Golf Club and The Council for Quality Growth. Prior to launching Southwyck Homes with Edward Pease, Tad served as President of TND Development Corporation and Director of Development for Liberty Development Corporation.

Fun Fact: Tad once served on the task force to rewrite the DeKalb County, GA zoning code.

Inspiration: One of five kids with four of his own, Tad’s biggest inspiration is his very own family. He finds considerable rewards in creating personalized homes and neighborhoods for families at every stage of life.

EDWARD PEASE

Principal

Born In: A Memphis native at his core, Edward Pease’s life journey led him to Atlanta with Landstone, LLC to develop a series of Kroger grocery stores, Lowes, CVS, Walgreens and medical buildings.

Industry Expertise: With more than two decades of experience investing in and developing freestanding retail developments, shopping centers and specialty medical centers, Ed decided to pursue something new - a future in residential development. Ed launched Oak Hall Companies – a real estate development and investment company – with seasoned residential construction veteran, Tad Braswell, that ultimately developed into Southwyck homes present-day.

Approach: Ed’s whole-hearted approach stems from his enjoyment in the personal touch granted by residential development as opposed to commercial. With his purchaser’s end goal in mind, Ed approaches each individual build with the idea in mind that this is the place where a family will shape a future together.

Community Involvement: Ed’s passion for people led him, along with his wife Patti and their two sons, into an even greater passion for mission work and a conviction for giving back. As the Director and Co-Founder of World Missions Partners (WMP), he is proud to serve at the helm of one of the largest continuing mission programs operating in the San Jose, Costa Rica area where they assist with medical and dental missions, educational funding, and various support programs. In addition, Ed has served on the boards of The Young Family YMCA in Atlanta and The Summit Center and was a member of the Johns Creek Citizens Advisory Committee. Today, he continues to serve on the board for Champions Community Foundation, as well as the Georgia Student Finance Commission representing the 6th Congressional District of Georgia.

Fun Fact: Ed and his family have personally touched the lives of several young people by providing access to education through their mission work – one of whom is currently in law school and 10 are in dental school in the Dominican Republic.

Inspiration: Touching lives from young couples to growing families to empty nesters is Ed’s driving motivator day in and day out.
