Matthews™ Continues Charlotte Growth with First Vice President Hire

CHARLOTTE, NC—Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, welcomed Anthony Warren as First Vice President in Charlotte, North Carolina. Warren specializes in car wash investment sales across the Southeast, advising owners, private equity-backed operators, and regional groups on the acquisition and disposition of car wash platforms, portfolios, and single-tenant retail properties, including net lease and sale-leaseback assets.

Prior to joining Matthews™, Warren served as Chief Development Officer and Partner at Links Car Wash, where he led acquisitions and development, growing the platform from its first deal in 2024 to 38 properties across four states by the end of 2025. Bringing more than 15 years of experience, Warren has been involved in more than 60 car wash sites and led more than $300 million in acquisitions and development as a principal or executive.

For Warren, joining Matthews™ provides an opportunity to pair his firsthand experience as an owner, operator, and developer with the firm’s national relationships and capital markets capabilities to better serve clients throughout the Southeast.

“My experience in car wash operations, acquisitions, and development has taught me to look at both the business and the real estate behind every transaction,” Warren said. “At Matthews, I want to be the person owners and investors call when they’re ready to buy or sell a wash, find their next site, or simply talk through their options.”

Bill Pedersen, Regional President of the East, says Warren will play an important role in expanding the firm’s car wash investment sales capabilities throughout the Southeast.

“Anthony is exactly the type of senior-level professional we want to continue adding to Matthews,” Pedersen said. “He brings tremendous credibility from his experience operating, developing, and acquiring assets within the car wash industry, and that perspective will be incredibly valuable to our clients. We’re excited to have him in Charlotte and believe he can play a major role in expanding our presence across the Southeast.”

Matthews™ is pleased to welcome Warren as the firm continues to expand its presence in Charlotte. This announcement follows Matthews™’ move into its new 5,026-square-foot flagship office at 127 W Worthington Ave., Ste. 230, Charlotte, NC, marking another step in the firm’s continued investment across the market.
