Atlanta New Homes News

IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME

Johns Creek, GA - Jim Chapman Communities has the very unusual, but very cool distinction of Pre-selling 55 new homes in Phase II of their fabulous Active Adult Community, Brookhaven at Johns Creek, since late April 2014. That is an average of about seven homes per month for eight straight months a brisk pace in which any builder would take pride.

“It’s interesting,” comments Jim Chapman. “Admittedly, Johns Creek is among the most popular new cities in the north Atlanta area in which to reside. But, it was something I overheard recently at a Holiday party that positively reinforced our vision. A lady was telling her friend that she and her husband were looking to downsize since becoming empty nesters. They had apparently looked at a dozen or so new communities under construction in the north Fulton area, none of which had a master bedroom on the main floor. I thought to myself how all of our Jim Chapman Communities homes have a master on the main, plus a ton of other features and amenities they would enjoy.”

Brookhaven at Johns Creek is an Active Adult Community built exclusively for 55 Plus individuals (no one under 18 years of age is eligible to reside there). It is located among some of the area’s most prestigious and desirable golf clubs, is only one mile from the world class Emory Johns Creek Hospital and all homes feature exceptionally designed floor plans for today’s lifestyle. Want more? This great community offers three and four bedroom, one level Condominium style floor plans AND three to five bedroom, one level

detached homes. With all brick construction, inviting front porches, available bonus rooms, optional screened porches, vaulted ceilings and a plethora of outdoor community amenities, it's no wonder presales are off the chart.

“The Phase Two infrastructure is going in now,” says Chapman. “Homes will come out of the ground in February / March, with the first closings slated for June. It is amazing how easy it is to sell people something when it actually fits both their wants and their needs at the same time. It’s like that line from the movie that says if you build it, they will come.” Yep, it’s a lot like that line. And, with only a handful of remaining homesites available, if you plan to “come,” you best hurry!

Jim Chapman Communities, which specializes in building for the Active Adult lifestyle, is one of the largest privately held home builders in Atlanta. Chapman’s neighborhoods feature outstanding amenities, charming character, architecture with “personality” and a keen attention to detail.

NEVER ORDINARY, ALWAYS EXTRAORDINARY

ATLANTA - Whether it’s a luxurious and beautiful new home in the storied and historical Peachtree Battle district, a custom home along the banks of the Chattahoochee River or a mansion with a thoroughbred Buckhead pedigree, one thing is for certain...if it is a Jim Chapman Fine Homes creation, everything from the location to the design to the most minute detail will be extraordinary.

Jim Chapman Fine Homes will start this New Year in the same grand fashion it finished last year, with a very special project on a rare piece of exquisite Sandy Springs/Buckhead area land featuring four exceptional luxurious custom home sites. 5000 Riverview is an enclave of four magnificently designed, handcrafted homes, each perched on two spacious acres off of prestigious River Road.

“To have a situation like this is almost a once in a lifetime find,” beams Jim Chapman, President of Jim Chapman Fine Homes and orchestrator of the extraordinary. “Imagine, right here in one of the most popular and sought after locations in the entire Atlanta area, at the edge of a breathtaking, tree canopied, winding road, four gorgeous and very private custom estate homes.” With a prideful gleam in his eye, he continues as if telling a story to a captive audience. “We’re starting with two homes, each with a huge master bedroom, spacious guest suite and two and a half baths on the main floor accompanied by three bedrooms and three full baths upstairs. The home sites are heavily wooded for privacy, incredibly spacious for whatever one can imagine adding to the mix like a pool, tennis court, water feature, outdoor fireplace or some combination of them all. These homes really can have everything one might want inside and out. And, the price is a surprising bonus as each will be an incredible value at under $1.5 million. ”The plan is to begin the first two homes in February with potential move-ins late summer. “We are open to total customization on the other two sites,” says Chapman. “I wouldn’t be at all surprised if that happens. If not, we’ll start those two as custom spec homes in short order.”

Great location, picturesque setting, popular master on the main and two acres of private, wooded land on which to create an individual masterpiece as one pleases or dreams sounds like a perfect scenario. In true Jim Chapman Fine Homes’ fashion, there is absolutely nothing ordinary about 5000 Riverview and no shortage of extraordinary!

Jim Chapman Fine Homes focuses on delivering a well thought out, livable floor plan, showcasing the timeless finishes and classical architecture that appeals to today’s luxury buyer. To learn more about Jim Chapman Fine Homes, please visit www.jimchapmanfinehomes.com.

These awards recognize outstanding achievement, marketing, remodeling and personal achievement in the home building industry. Jim Chapman batted a perfect 1,000 as all five of his entries resulted in some serious precious metal designation.

“We could not be more excited with the outcome tonight,” beamed a proud Chapman. “If one is going to receive an award, one recognizing exceptional professionalism is pretty much the creme de la creme. Let me give credit where credit is due, however. I am so fortunate to have all-star teams making up both of our companies, Jim Chapman Fine Homes and Jim Chapman Communities, both winners tonight. My name is on them, but the real recognition goes to these extraordinary professionals who are the heart and soul of these companies. Take Sandy Epstein, for example. She is our on-site sales person at Brookhaven at Johns Creek and received a Gold Obie tonight for Salesperson of the Year -- and that is in the entire 21-county metro area! That’s huge. Sandy exemplifies the talent, dedication, professionalism and success that we are so blessed to have. Congratulations to her and ALL Jim Chapman team members. Without them, we would not be here tonight.”

The Professionalism Awards are segregated into various categories of products, prices, size, annual volume, etc. Jim Chapman Fine Homes scored a GOLD for one of their custom luxury Brownstones at One River Place, for the Single-Family Attached, All Builders category in a price range of $400,000-$499,999.

The list of wins for Jim Chapman Communities is a little more crowded, all coming from products in Brookhaven at Johns Creek, where they took two GOLDS and two SILVERS.

JIM CHAPMAN ADDS CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL HOME BUILDER TO ILLUSTRIOUS RESUME

ATLANTA -- Why would a successful, state-licensed home builder, one who has won the Community of the Year Award three times, one who has been recognized as one of the largest private builders in Atlanta, one identified as one of the top 100 most influential people in Atlanta's housing industry by a renowned business publication and one who is slated to be Chairman of the National Association of Home Builders' 50+ Housing Council, feel the need to become a Certified Professional Home Builder? And, exactly what is that designation and what does it mean?

Let us answer the latter to bring context to the former of those questions. As of 2008, all home builders in Georgia had to meet certain basic criteria in order to be licensed by the state. Years prior to that, however, The Housing Institute's Certified Professional Home Builder program (CPHB) was founded to bring a higher standard of professionalism and ultimately higher customer satisfaction to the industry. These self-imposed standards were and are far more rigid than state standards, making for an organization of elite and distinguished professionals of which Jim Chapman is now a member. And, here's the why.

"When one chooses a Certified Professional Home Builder," says Chapman, "much of the due diligence on the builder is already done. Education, experience, references(14 across several related categories),volume, insurance, warranty -- the list goes on-- and every Certified Professional Home Builder must meet the ambitious and important criteria. For me, it was not enough to be successful, it was about being the very best I could be at my craft and in my profession. It is truly the icing on the cake. I encourage anyone who may be considering buying or building a new home to visit certifiedprofessionalhomebuilder.com for the full range of services and distinctions. Choosing the right builder is one of the most important decisions one will make in the entire building process and to that end, an informed customer is a better, happy customer."

Founded to essentially create homeowner satisfaction through reputable, experienced, professional and customer-oriented practices, the CPHB program has been a win-win for the building industry and the home building public. Jim Chapman Fine Homes focuses on delivering a well thought-out, livable floor plan, showcasing the timeless finishes and classic architecture that appeals to today's luxury buyer. Jim is honored to have met the requirements and joined the ranks of Certified Professional Home builders. For more information, visit jimchapmanfinehomes.com.

MORE JIM CHAPMAN HOMES ARE COMING TO A LOCATION NEAR YOU

ATLANTA - In the most popular locations in the city, where demand is high and availability is limited, it is comforting to know that hope springs eternal when it comes to new luxury housing starts.

Jim Chapman Fine Homes has quickly sold one of his $1.1 million homes at 973 Tennyson Drive and is nearing completion of the second home in this sought after, popular Howell Mill/I-75 location at 975 Tennyson Drive, offered at $1,125,000. Chapman is now breaking ground on another estate home at 4230 Brookview Drive in Vinings, and will soon break ground soon at a home off Peachtree Battle and four others in Sandy Springs.

"We pay as much attention to where the house will actually be located as we do to the finest detail within the home," says Jim Chapman, president of Jim Chapman Fine Homes. "While there are many desirable areas for new homes around the Atlanta metro area, there is never a lack of demand for the beautiful home sites that are inside the perimeter. And, those properties are getting harder to find."

Yes, the details. Do not underestimate the importance of Chapman's comments. Jim Chapman Fine Homes is renowned for and thrive on the meticulous attention to every detail from framing to finish. They are not merely home builders, they are craftsmen. So it is not a surprise that careful and deliberate lot selection, matching just the right site with just the right design is the prerequisite to a great Jim Chapman Fine Homes creation.

Jim Chapman Fine Homes is not only committed to building extraordinarily crafted luxury homes, however, they are also committed to preserving the environment for generations to come. They invest significantly in features that save energy, reduce environmental costs and improve the value and sustainability of your new home.

Jim Chapman Brings Vital Insights, Energy to NAHB 50+ Housing Council

“Active Involvement Is Essential for Growth”

ATLANTA - Jim Chapman, president of Jim Chapman Communities and Jim Chapman Fine Homes in Atlanta, was recently installed as Second Vice Chairman of the 50+ Housing Council Board of Trustees of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). He will be the Chairman in 2016.

Still several years away from his own 50^th birthday, Chapman determined early on in his career that he wanted to serve on local, state and national boards and committees within the housing industry.

“As a home builder and developer of a wide variety of neighborhoods, including luxury home and active adult communities, it is important to me that I give back to our industry,” says Chapman. “I am honored to take on a variety of leadership roles and share my ideas and my vision, and help set direction and policies that may affect homeowners and home builders for years to come.”

In his current national position on the Board of Trustees of the NAHB 50+ Housing Council, Chapman is in charge of their 2015 50+ Awards Ceremony in Las Vegas, and he fully expects that more home builders, architects and designers than ever before will enter their product for recognition during this nationwide event.

“Participating in this national 50+ Awards Ceremony in 2015, either as an entrant or as an attendee, will give 50+ Housing Council members great exposure throughout the industry,” he notes. “There will be lots of networking opportunities with other home builders from all over the country. Make plans now to be at our 2015 Awards Ceremony in February! Come meet other experts who are just as passionate about building fabulous homes and communities that are especially targeted to the fast-growing active adult and senior markets,” invites Chapman.

Chapman recently served in 2011 as Chairman of the Board of the Atlanta 50+ Housing Council of the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association (GAHBA) and is a current board member. According to Chapman, “Being a member of the 50+ Housing Council on both a local and a national level offers outstanding opportunities to promote your brand and learn from others.” He explains that the local 50+ Housing Council is in the process of completing a sophisticated new website that will be a great sales and educational tool for 50+ home builders.

“If they are a member of their local HBA and the 50+ Housing Council, then that builder can list their communities and homes on this website, as well as in the online directory, and we will also be able to promote them as a featured builder,” he notes. “Can you imagine any better way to advertise your new community and your expertise in this booming market? Just think of the benefits, exposure and credibility you can generate from joining the local, state and national councils / associations!”

Statewide throughout Georgia, Chapman is a Founding Member and the initial Chairman of the ALL Home Program, a voluntary certification program that the Home Builders Association of Georgia (HBAG) is rolling out in 2014.

ALL stands for “A Livable Lifestyle” and encourages homebuilders to build and certify new homes that are truly accessible, by promoting universal design, accessibility, visibility features, and innovative design options that can be incorporated into new and renovated houses, benefiting people of all ages and abilities.

As with everything he tackles, Chapman is fully committed to the success of the new ALL Home Program and makes time for presentations to professional trade associations and groups all over Georgia. “We have designed the ALL Home Program to be easily embraced by builders as well as consumers, for all prices points and all home types. We want to spread the word and get many home builders on board – and create a demand with homebuyers who will be encouraged to select the home that fits their specific needs.”

In order for a home to be certified as a true ALL Home, it has to have at least one full bathroom, one bedroom, a kitchen and an entertainment area on the main floor. In addition, circulation requirements include an accessible path, with no steps and with a minimum of a 32-inch clear passage space connecting all spaces on the main floor, and all elements within the spaces required above. Also, all passage doors need to have a clear opening of at least 32 inches.

For more information about the ALL Home Program, visit www.ALiveableLifestyleHome.com.

As an active member of the NAHB, Chapman is one of a select number of Georgia Gold Key Club members of BUILD-PAC, or Builders United in Legislative Decisions Political Action Committee, the association’s political arm. BUILD-PAC helps elect the most qualified pro-housing, pro-business candidates to federal office - on both sides of the aisle.

“I strongly support the efforts of BUILD-PAC in Washington,” notes Chapman. “This is an effective way to open doors on Capitol Hill to ensure that housing remains a key driver of our economy. Jointly, we can target specific regulations that may benefit or limit our industry’s recovery.”

“I am sincerely interested in promoting and preserving the home building industry. As a home builder, it is of vital importance to contribute my time, money and energy on a variety of boards and committees, and I invite my colleagues to get involved as well,” says Chapman. “As home builders, we provide the most basic of American dreams, to own your own home. That’s a pretty big responsibility – and it brings me great joy to be able to do my part.”

JIM CHAPMAN COMMUNITIES COOKS UP TASTY RECIPE FOR SUCCESS

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. - Start with one of Atlanta's most desirable locations, add a pinch of privacy and the security one gets with a gated community, a healthy shake of exceptionally crafted, maintenance ­free homes in a neighborhood catering exclusively to the 55 plus crowd (nobody under 18 years of age is eligible to reside there) and you have one sweet recipe for home sales success. The proof is in the pudding.

Jim Chapman Communities' Brookhaven at Johns Creek just closed on their last home of 66 in Phase I. Even more noteworthy is the fact that home site pre­sales in Phase II, only available since late April, now total 37 to date! It is a pace that shocks some industry insiders, but not Jim Chapman, president of Jim Chapman Communities. "We are providing all of the components that are most important to this growing market segment," says Chapman. "These buyers are accustomed to quality, convenience and comfort, but are ready to let go of the relentless maintenance and upkeep of the traditional single ­family homes from which they are coming. Our communities provide that perfect balance and sales are brisk at our Active Adult communities all over the city."

While certainly there are many savory ingredients in this popular recipe, the special touches and meticulous craftsmanship are the trademarks of Jim Chapman products. Every home complies with the new ALL Home Program promoting accessibility through use of wide doorways, ample maneuvering space in the baths and shower and zero­ step entries from the garage into the house itself. Chapman says that his Active Adult homes are constructed with the same passion, commitment and craftsmanship as his custom, luxury homes. "We take great pride in our work," says Chapman, "and it shows in every detail of a Jim Chapman Communities home."

If you want to see what all of the buzz is about, model homes are open daily at Brookhaven at Johns Creek, Monday ­Saturday 11am-­6pm and Sunday 1-­6pm. If you want to purchase there, you may want to hurry. This hot dish is going fast!

LOCATION. LOCATION. LOCATION. TIMING IS EVERYTHING.

ATLANTA - If there are two colloquial realities in the real estate world, they are location and timing.

Certainly that is the case with the final 16 homes being meticulously crafted by Jim Chapman Fine Homes in one of Atlanta's best kept secrets, One River Place. But, be forewarned. While the location will ALWAYS be among Atlanta's finest, the timing is...well, now or never.

"We were thrilled to find this incredible opportunity to put the final touch on perhaps Atlanta's best in-town master-planned community, "says Jim Chapman, “This gated, guarded community offers not only a breathtaking location on the picturesque Chattahoochee River, but also over-the-top amenities provided by both the community itself and Mother Nature."

Indeed. One River Place features an exquisite clubhouse--The Meeting House-- with spa, fitness center, outdoor grilling area, two pools, dog walk and a private gated walk to the renowned Ray's On the River restaurant. Two nearby National Parks, Cochran Shoals and Palisades, offer convenient access to jogging, hiking and biking trails, along with canoeing, fishing, rafting and other water sports on the river. There is no shortage of activity or scenery. Add to that easy access to I-75, I-285, downtown Atlanta and a host of other popular city sites and one readily understands the location part of this success story.

There is a bit of urgency when it comes to the timing part of the story, however. Due to the aforementioned amenities, the craftsmanship and the imagination that is the Jim Chapman Fine Homes trademark, all six Brownstone-style townhomes are already sold. The good news isthere are still four (of ten) luxury, single-family detached homes still available. But, priced from the $700's to the mid $800's, these master down, master up Jim Chapman masterpieces featuring brick-paver patios, formal fencing, custom hardscape and landscaping--even some with large outdoor, roof-top terraces and extraordinary river views--will not be available for long.

"We are extremely proud of what we have done here and have received rave reviews from the four hundred or so homeowners who were here before we started in December," adds Chapman. “We have entered several of the homes for a Professionalism Award (an industry award given to only the best of the best in various home building categories), and even my retiring parents purchased one of the townhomes, which may be my most rewarding accomplishment of all. These homes in this location with the conveniences and the natural surrounding beauty is a rare find. We are honored to be a part of that."

Jim Chapman Fine Homes focuses on delivering a well thought-out, livable floor plan, showcasing the timeless finishes and classical architecture that appeals to today's luxury buyer.

JIM CHAPMAN COMMUNITIES TO BUILD NEW 150 HOME ACTIVE ADULT NEIGHBORHOOD AT THE GEORGIAN

VILLA RICA, Ga. - When The Georgian Land Company decided to develop the spectacular acreage surrounding its top-rated, Tom Fazio designed golf course, uniquely named The Frog Golf Club, it looked no further than Atlanta’s own Jim Chapman, president of Jim Chapman Communities. 

Widely recognized as one of the Southeast’s most prominent home builders specializing in Active Adult building, Jim Chapman Communities was the obvious choice. “Jim Chapman and his company are synonymous with high quality, luxurious single level living,” said Ton van Dam, owner and chairman of The Georgian Land Company. “We’re envisioning the kind of Active Adult residential neighborhood that only Jim Chapman can build.” 

High quality, indeed.  A three-time winner of the highly coveted Greater Atlanta HBA Community of the Year award, Jim Chapman Communities designs and builds superbly livable, low maintenance ranch style homes that literally brim with the finest of details including spacious floor plans, vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors and gourmet kitchens that showcase granite countertops, custom cabinetry and stainless steel appliances.

“We put ourselves in the place of the Active Adult home buyer,” says Chapman. “Our homes comply with the new ALL Home Program promoting accessibility through use of wide doorways, ample maneuvering space in the baths and shower and zero-step entries from the garage into the home itself.”

Chapman says the same passion, commitment and craftsmanship that are employed in his custom, luxury homes, also are built into his Active Adult homes. “We take great pride in our work,” says Chapman, “and it will be evident in every one of our homes at The Georgian.”

Jim Chapman’s communities are located throughout greater Atlanta and include Brookhaven at Johns Creek, Brookhaven at Sugarloaf, Brookhaven of East Cobb, and Brookhaven at Lanier Ridge and The Haven at Slater Mill.  Chapman’s new neighborhood will be known as Heritage Pointe at The Georgian with prices starting in the high $100s and model homes are on track for touring in spring 2015. 

The Chapman family hand can also be seen in the new Frog and active adult clubhouse complex which are currently under construction. Both clubhouses were designed by Jim Chapman, Sr.
