Savannah BTR is 88% Leased, 76% Occupied

Posted on: November 1st, 2025

Jim Chapman Construction Group (JCCG), a leading general contractor specializing in build-to-rent, has now delivered 273 completed units at the Cottages at New Hampstead. Pending a City of Savannah community-wide final inspection, JCCG will have delivered 326 completed units since late January 2024. The community opened leasing on January 16, 2024, and is now 76% occupied and 88% leased! Additionally, the amenity complex fully opened in May of this year.

“At the Cottages at New Hampstead, we’ve seen tremendous success with rapid leasing and efficient delivery. Having 273 of the 326 units already completed and turned over to the management team, and leases for even more, speaks to the strength of our overall team and the quality of the homes we deliver,” Jim Chapman, President of JCCG, stated. “Completing this community in less than three years is a testament to our commitment to effectively and efficiently provide high-demand housing solutions for our investors.”

JCCG expects to close the community by the end of the year. “Delivering 326 BTR units in under 19 months (vertical only) and meeting the intense demand for pre-leased homes showcases our construction team’s work,” said Kevin King, VP of Construction, JCCG. “Never having built in Savannah before, JCCG’s ability to hire dedicated local construction professionals is second to none and truly impacts the success of JCCG and our client’s bottom line.”
