Jim Chapman Construction Group (JCCG), a seasoned build-to-rent (BTR) general contractor, announces its partnership with NexMetro, one of the nation’s largest BTR developers headquartered in Phoenix. NexMetro’s inaugural Atlanta project, South Pine, has started construction in Georgia in South Fulton County. 

NexMetro, a decade-long player in the BTR industry with projects in Phoenix, DFW, Austin, Denver and Tampa, chose JCCG as its partner for its first Atlanta market project due to the BTR general contractor’s expertise and robust track record. 

South Pine, a luxury leased living neighborhood, is strategically located off I-85 in South Fulton at the Union City exit, offering proximity to Hartsfield Jackson International Airport and Newnan. Positioned at Oakley Industrial Blvd. and Oakley Rd, South Pine is a 34-acre development comprised of 193 two-story luxury leased attached townhomes with private backyards for rent.

"Being chosen by NexMetro, renowned for its substantial BTR projects in Phoenix and Texas, underscores JCCG’s proficiency and credibility in the BTR sector," remarked Jim Chapman, President of JCCG. "We are thrilled to bring our comprehensive construction solutions to this project, ensuring South Pine is synonymous with quality living."

Two-story townhomes with one-car garages feature five floor plans ranging from 1,332 to 1,483 square feet. Each unit is designed to present a luxe-living experience with premium features like LVT flooring on both levels, Quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and a washer/dryer.

South Pine is a gated and fully fenced community. Amenities include onsite management and leasing offices, a pool, outdoor grilling area and pavilion, fire pit, tot lot, dog park, sports court, and 24-hour emergency maintenance.

Land development started in late July 2023, and the first move-ins are expected in late 2024 and into the summer of 2025.

As the general contractor, JCCG will provide an end-to-end solution, including developing lots, constructing homes and building the amenities, thereby solidifying NexMetro’s entry into the Atlanta market, where the company has multiple other sites in the development pipeline.

With unparalleled experience, JCCG transforms raw land into thriving residential rental communities for investors and funds. JCCG is licensed as a general contractor in Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, Alabama, North Carolina and South Carolina and offers a broad spectrum of services, from pre-construction assistance to design-build, construction management, or full-service general contracting.
