“Congratulations on your office! What a beautiful transformation of a building that has historic value to the story of Main Street and the City of Alpharetta,” said Deborah Lanham, CEO & President of the Alpharetta Chamber of Commerce.

Alpharetta General Store in 1950s on Hwy9 / Main Street.

This building was originally the Rudasill Grocery store dating back to the early 1950s when Main Street was just a small two-lane rural road. TSW provided the architecture plans for the new design, and the general contractor is Parrish Construction.

“If only walls could talk, the stories and history this building would tell,” Parkland Communities President Jim Jacobi said. “The grocery store was the heart of the community in the 1950s. We admire the provenance of the building and are thrilled to restore this building so its legacy continues for generations to come.”

Who wants to be a Millionaire?! Parkland Communities, Inc is searching for a Director of Construction Operations. This one-of-a-kind opportunity includes a predetermined pathway to OWNERSHIP!!!

“It has become so overly expensive to start a home building company that it stops most people from pursuing their dreams,” said Parkland Residential President Jim Jacobi. “This opportunity will start as an employee but grow into ownership with no cash investment required.”

This is an exceptional opportunity to work with a quickly growing company led by a proven entrepreneur with a stellar reputation who has already been there and done it!

Jacobi has already made a name for himself in the Southeast’s residential development and building industry. In 2007 Jim founded JEH Homes along with his business partners. They grew the company into one of Georgia’s top 10 home builders before being purchased by Taylor Morrison for more than $70 million in 2015.

In 2017, Jacobi and his partners founded Alliance Engineering & Planning, LLC. They grew the company into one of Atlanta’s leading Planning, Civil Engineering, and Surveying companies. AEP was recently bought for $20 million in November 2022 by LJA Engineering, Inc.

Now, Jacobi is creating one of the fastest-growing Build-to-Rent companies in Georgia, with more than 1,000 lots throughout Georgia already in its pipeline.  When asked about his ideal candidate, Jacobi replied, “I’m looking for the best leader in the business, who is ready to take a giant step forward in their career towards ownership.”

The Director of Construction Operations will be responsible for closely managing the day-to-day operations of all home building-related responsibilities for every new home community. The Director of Operations is an executive-level position. It is expected to be a proven leader, entrepreneurial-minded, and foster an exceptional company culture to promote employee retention, subcontractor loyalty and create a safe workplace environment.
