Jim Jacobi, president of Parkland Communities and Parkland Residential, is a featured speaker at Zonda’s The Future of Build to Rent conference located in Dallas, Texas, March 27 – 28, 2023. This event provides a data-grounded exploration of what 2023 holds for Build to Rent. The conference looks at supply and demand forecasts, hot and not markets, potential headwinds, and other economic factors impacting this homebuilding market segment.

Jacobi presents “Top Ingredients in a Successful BTR Community” on Tuesday, March 28, from 1:15 to 2 p.m. CT. As the single-family build-to-rent industry continues to grow, BTR builders and operators are leaning into segments of the business, identifying community needs and market trends, honing their products and building on successes. In this session, Jacobi shares his winning business strategies and lessons learned in building his BTR business and finding his space in this growing industry. This session will be moderated by Mollie Carmichael, Principal, Zonda Advisory.

With a unique approach to build-to-rent, Jacobi created Parkland Residential to build BTR communities exclusively, but instead of building single-family homes, Jacobi focuses his BTR communities on townhomes.

“By building townhome communities for rent, I can focus on a more affordable rental rate while still creating amenity-rich environments that today’s renters seek.”

Building on the success of Sweetwater Springs, where Jacobi leased 58 townhomes within 90 days before construction was even complete, Parkland Residential will break ground on more than 1,000 BTR lots around metro Atlanta this year.

Parkland Residential’s BTR communities feature a unique stacked townhome product designed to repurpose under-utilized commercial parcels and create missing middle housing.

Appealing to selective renters, Parkland Residential attracts an affluent demographic seeking a hassle-free lifestyle and choosing to rent instead of buying a home. Freedom to travel, no maintenance and the flexibility to easily move; all rank high on why people rent. Combine those factors with walkability and amenities,

“The Zonda event in Dallas is focused on the business of BTR from the homebuilder and funds perspective,” said Jacobi. “Parkland Communities has a large pipeline of BTR communities in development and coming online in 2023; we are searching for debt sources to finance new BTR communities.”

With decades of experience presenting land plans to zoning review boards and more than 10,000 developed residential lots in his vast portfolio, Jacobi understands how to work within the system to zone new for-sale homes but build-to-rent communities often add complexity to zoning timelines with variables that aren’t typical objections during zonings for build to sale communities.

In 2020, Jacobi formed Parkland Residential, a home building company focused on developing and creating build-to-rent communities. Parkland Residential focuses on the underserved missing middle market, defined by John Hunt, principal with MarketNsight, as a single-family home located alongside what looks like a single-family residence but is a duplex, quad, eightplex or more.

Well-known as a developer in the Atlanta real estate market, Jacobi also runs Parkland Communities Inc., which develops communities for local, regional and national home builders.

Based in Atlanta, Parkland Communities, Inc. is a privately-owned multifaceted real estate development and investment firm specializing in residential properties. With over 20 years of experience in the industry, Parkland Communities Inc. uses the latest market data, technology and established relationships to strategically secure new development opportunities in Atlanta’s most desirable locations.

Parkland Communities Donates $92,000 to Local Organizations

Jubilee Christian Church International & Oasis Sober Living Program benefit from outreach

Parkland Communities believes in being a responsible corporate citizen. Last year was no exception, with the developer providing year-end gifts to two worthwhile organizations – Jubilee Christian Church International & Oasis Sober Living.

Corporate social responsibility is a cornerstone of Parkland Communities’ brand. Since its inception, the developer has donated more than $1 million to local mission-driven Christian organizations.

“Giving back to the communities where we do business is important to the entire team at Parkland Communities,” said Jim Jacobi, President of Parkland Communities. “I believe that charity starts at home, and the bulk of our philanthropic efforts include supporting mission-focused private schools, funding addiction rehabilitation, conserving nature and more.”

Jubilee Christian Church International received $85,000 from Parkland Communities to help support its growth plans. Led by Pastor Dr. Michael Adebiyi, the South Gwinnett church ministers to all nations and races locally and internationally. The church has a Youth Ministry called Scripture Café, which engages the youth in spiritual, physical and intellectual activities through fellowship, leadership training, and field trips to help them develop into well-rounded individuals that will impact their communities positively.

The development in the area presents perfect timing for the church to implement its growth plan. Between Parkland Communities’ development adjacent to the church and a separate new community a bit further down the road, 474 families will have opportunities to move to the area.

Jubilee Christian Church plans to positively impact the community by building a top-class daycare center, ministering to children, and scaling up its youth ministry.

“Jim’s generosity through Parkland Communities will allow us to welcome every family with a fruit basket as they move into the community. We hope they will see us as their spiritual growth partner and neighbor,” said Dr. Adebiyi. Every month, the church will host a welcome dinner for those who moved in that month.

The church youth’s church service, Scripture Café, offers a weekly café style contemporary youth service with coffee and other pastries available for the youths during and after worship. They share the word, pray for the cause of the week, and participate in a nationwide campus fellowship organization that prepares them for college, including applying to schools, understanding financing, and much more. One of the church’s goals is to build a sanctuary for the youth ministry.

“Jim’s donation is coming to hatch our egg and allow it to fly,” said Dr. Adebiyi. Our vision was inside a financial shell, and Jim has come to break the shell open to help us find expression. And this is just the first step. We plan to also partner with city and county stakeholders to make a more significant difference.”

Parkland Communities also made a year-end donation to Oasis Sober Living of $6,376 to support the non-profit recovery residence, which provides clean and sober living with a 12-step-based, structured environment. “Oasis” is a sister program to Breakthrough Recovery Outreach (BRO) which offers affordable housing options for individuals who cannot afford a traditional private residential treatment program but have Medicaid insurance. Oasis Sober Living is located in Tucker and is led by Director Paulette Jacobs.
