Charles Everson

Biography

Since graduating from Utah State University in 1951, Charles Everson’s vocational career has centered on construction and development with major contractors and developers throughout the world. He also planned projects for the United States Air Force. Many of the projects for civilian and military use have had landscaping involved in some aesthetic way.

Charles has been involved in some of the largest land development projects in the world including: real estate investigations, directing the design of construction, planning, engineering, architecture and landscaping of complete new communities and cities. Charles has expertise in Senior Citizen communities, high rise and residential buildings, recreational communities, prefabrication of civilian and military housing, dredging operations, marina development, and industrial programs. His positions in these development programs have been as Owner Representative, Vice President, Director, Project Manager, Manager of Engineering/Architecture, and Landscape Architect.

Charles retained his own company of CA Everson and Associates which focuses on land planning, landscape architecture, and construction of the projects. He still does landscaping and consulting.

As the financial programs of the United States have increased since World War II, the costs of land and the building demands have increased from a few thousand dollars into millions and billions of dollars. The development projects have been advanced to unbelievable costs. Many years ago, the lot sizes to develop were housing size. This has now exponentially grown to potentially thousands of acres in one project. Charles’ largest project was 205,000 acres in Saudi Arabia (1982-1985).
