Parkland Residential announces it has secured construction financing from The Piedmont Bank for Phase Two of Sweetwater Springs in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Land Development is complete, and framing will start soon on the 37 stacked townhomes in Phase Two of this build-to-rent community.

“I’d like to thank The Piedmont Bank for supporting this new phase with a $8 Million construction loan,” said Jim Jacobi, President of Parkland Residential. “We already have a long interest list for this second phase showing the amount of pent-up demand for rental homes in the market.”

Sweetwater Springs Phase One opened three years ago and remains a popular Lawrenceville rental option as it is 100% leased.

“Our first resident moved in three years ago and is still living in the community,” states Jacobi.  “And unlike many build-to-rent communities, we still own the community and have no plans to sell.”

Phase Two of Sweetwater Springs, located just across the street from phase one, adds 37 new rental townhomes, bringing the total number of homes in Sweetwater Springs to 95. The community’s additional amenities in Phase 2 include a swimming pool and cabana.

This unique community offers an ideal solution for renters who prioritize having the freedom to travel and ease of living without the commitment of owning a home.

The two or three-bedroom stacked townhomes in Sweetwater Springs are designed with rear entry access and a one-car garage. Each townhome features an oversized primary suite with a walk-in closet and a luxurious bathroom with dual vanities. The open floor plan includes large kitchens, family rooms, and covered outdoor living areas, making the townhomes perfect for entertaining. The three-bedroom units come with a loft and offer up to 1,958 square feet of living space, while the two-bedroom units provide 1,636 square feet of living space.

This innovative approach addresses the need for affordable housing and contributes to the community’s revitalization. Sweetwater Springs sets a new standard for residential development as the first build-to-rent community in Gwinnett County to offer stacked townhomes.

Parkland Residential is pleased to announce that construction is underway on its newest all-inclusive build-to-rent community, Sugarloaf Landing, featuring 114 stacked townhomes in Lawrenceville, Georgia.

Located on 10 acres at 3440 Sugarloaf Parkway near the intersection of Sugarloaf Parkway and Five Forks Trickum Road, Sugarloaf Landing features rear-entry stacked townhomes. These units include one-car garages and two or three bedrooms, including oversized, private owner’s suites with huge walk-in closets and stylish baths with dual vanities. The spacious, open floor plans feature sizable kitchens that open into oversized family rooms. Covered outdoor living spaces with views of greenspace and woods are perfect for enjoying crisp fall nights and entertaining guests.

“It wonderful to see construction underway on this long-awaited walkable townhome community located at the intersection of everything,” Parkland Residential President Jim Jacobi said. “Sugarloaf Landing will help meet the need for attainable housing in Gwinnett County.”

The three-bedroom units offer two-and-a-half baths plus lofts with 1,950 square feet of total living space, while two-bedroom units offer 1,600 square feet of total living space. Residents can enjoy a maintenance-free lifestyle while renting for less than owning a home, with pricing starting at $2,400 per month for all-inclusive living.

“At Sugarloaf Landing, we believe in providing an all-inclusive living experience. Our residents can bid farewell to worries about yard maintenance, pest control, home repairs, or even the need to purchase appliances. We take care of all these and more, ensuring our residents can focus on what truly matters to them,” said Jacobi.

Residents will enjoy the resort-style amenities, including a swimming pool, cabana, playground, nature preserve, sidewalks and pocket parks. Additionally, an abundance of shopping and restaurants within a short walk from the community.

Parkland Residential designed these unique stacked townhomes specifically to repurpose under-utilized commercial parcels to supply missing middle homes in infill locations. The concept of the missing middle is defined by John Hunt, principal with MarketNsight, as a single-family home located alongside what looks like a single-family residence. Still, it is really a duplex, quad, eightplex or more. Missing middle housing goes hand-in-hand with affordable housing. Consumers want to live near work but can’t always afford to, and providing various housing options helps meet this need. 

Leasing at Sugarloaf Landing will begin in October 2024. Managed by Prim Properties, Sugarloaf Landing is located at 3440 Sugarloaf Parkway in Lawrenceville.

Prim Properties, a new BTR property management company, has launched in the Atlanta market with an instant impact! Prim Properties was created exclusively to manage build-to-rent (BTR) communities. It is led by Managing Partner Brett Forney, an expert in the BTR space with more than a decade of experience.

Understanding that BTR communities are different from multi-family, Prim emerges as a frontrunner in redefining BTR property management, which is often mistakenly managed as multi-family housing. Prim Properties recognizes and embraces these differences by creating a strong sense of community, targeted marketing, emphasizing proactive maintenance, and fostering a care-free lifestyle for residents rather than just merely leasing units.

“The resident experience matters! Prim offers a management approach that is as personalized as the living experiences it seeks to create, filling the gap in a market where BTR communities have not been managed according to their specific needs,” said Forney. "We're not just managing properties; we're cultivating communities where people feel at home."

Prim Properties has partnered with Propify to create a custom management software specifically designed for BTR operations. This partnership enhances Prim's ability to deliver seamless, efficient service tailored to the unique requirements of BTR communities. From strategic marketing to tenant relations, Prim Properties integrates technology and personalized service to ensure that every community it manages thrives.

“We are completely reengineering the BTR property management space, managing it with technology and unrelenting hospitality while bringing a prim and proper approach to property management," Forney added.

As Prim Properties takes on the management of all of Parkland Residential’s properties, its innovative approach has already proven to be successful. Prim's management techniques have transformed communities like Sweetwater Springs, quickly achieving full occupancy and zero delinquency, demonstrating the effectiveness and impact of its specialized focus.

“Changing management to Prim Properties has been a breath of fresh air! They transformed Sweetwater Springs in a very short time. Before switching to Prim Properties, the community was improperly managed using typical multi-family procedures, which caused declining rents, 35% vacancy, record high delinquency, poor maintenance and unhappy residents. Today, we can proudly say the community is now 100% leased with a waiting list, has zero delinquency, increased traffic, rising rents, a defined maintenance plan, reduced operational cost by 20%, and, most importantly… very happy residents who are renewing leases! The difference is amazing!” said Jim Jacobi, President of Parkland Residential.

Prim Properties is actively expanding its portfolio throughout Georgia and is accepting BTR management opportunities with select ownership groups. The company's mission is to provide exceptional management services that reflect the evolving needs of today's renters who seek flexibility, convenience and a sense of community.
