Parkland Residential has started development at Sugarloaf Landing, a build-to-rent community featuring 114 stacked townhomes in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Located on 10 acres at 3440 and 3460 Sugarloaf Parkway near the intersection of Sugarloaf Parkway and Five Forks Trickum Road, developer Parkland Communities broke ground last week.

“It is a great feeling to see dirt moving at this long-anticipated community,” Parkland Residential President Jim Jacobi said. “Gwinnett has a large housing deficit, and Sugarloaf Landing will help meet the need for attainable housing.”

Sugarloaf Landing features rear-entry stacked townhomes with 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 spring nights and entertaining guests.

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

The three-bedroom units offer two-and-a-half baths plus lofts with 1,958 square feet of total living space, while two-bedroom units offer 1,636 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.

Parkland Residential designed these unique stacked townhomes specifically to repurpose under-utilized commercial parcels and supply missing middle homes. 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.

Managed by Lincoln Property Group, Sugarloaf Landing is located at 3440 and 3460 Sugarloaf Parkway in Lawrenceville. For more information, call 470-402-2300 or visit the Lincoln Property Company website at www.lpc.com.

Parkland Residential is a new homebuilding company focused on creating build-to-rent communities. Based in metro Atlanta, the build-to-rent company’s goal is to provide affordable missing middle housing in locations where consumers want to live. Parkland Residential plans to build many build-to-rent communities over the next several years.

Jim Jacobi, president of Parkland Communities and Parkland Residential, is a featured panelist during the 8th annual IMN Build-to-Rent, Land & Homebuilding Forum in Nashville, Tennessee, March 2 – 3, 2023. This industry-leading event focuses on private equity, debt and joint venture financing in the land and homebuilding markets.

With more than 1,000 BTR lots entitled in the Atlanta metro, Jacobi will share what he has learned during this process in the session “Land & Lot Acquisition, Financing and Risk Assessment Strategies” from 12:15 – 1 p.m. in Track B.  Jacobi will share his expertise on a panel along with Jeffrey Lucas, Vice President JEN Partners, Jan Kurzenberger, Director of Lennar, Batey McGraw, National Vice President – Land with Dream Finders Homes, Scott Lamontagne, Managing Director, Investment Sales with Northmarq and Mike Bednarski, Managing Partner with LyvWell Communities.  A lively discussion will cover hot build-to-rent topics, including:

How do you see land prices trending in the next 6-12 months?
How are you underwriting land deals today?
Does your strategy vary by market?
Are you targeting raw, entitled or finished lots?
Which financing options are most attractive in this environment?
How has your risk assessment model changed since the beginning of the pandemic?
What are the main operational challenges you are facing?

“The IMN Build-to-Rent Forum in Nashville 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 for 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.

Jacobi spoke at the IMN Single Family Rental Forum in Scottsdale, Arizona, last December.  On “Buying Entitled vs. Raw Land/Using A Merchant Builder vs. Keeping In-house/Selling Pre- vs. Post Occupied.” Currently, 16 million homes or 11.5% of total homes in the United States, are now single-family rental properties.
