Land development is underway at Creekside Cottages build-to-rent (BTR) in Opelika, Alabama. Jim Chapman Construction Group has finished clearing and grading. Sewer and storm systems are underway, and curb, gutter and paving will start soon. Vertical construction is on track to begin in late December 2025.

"We are keeping up momentum at Creekside Cottages, a community we are pleased to add BTR housing to Opelika," said Jim Chapman, president of JCCG. “The flexibility of renting, coupled with a full amenity package, makes this community attractive for working professionals seeking low-maintenance living.

Creekside Cottages will feature 225 attached townhomes in Phase I, totaling 304 units upon completion. Located on 67.6 acres at the intersection of Society Hill Road and Gateway Drive, the community showcases JCCG's ability to deliver quality construction in a college town setting. 

Units will range from 1,000 to 1,439 square feet with two to three bedrooms, attached garages and main-level primary suites. Interior details include luxury vinyl plank flooring, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and an in-unit washer and dryer. 

Residents will also enjoy a host of on-site amenities, including a clubhouse, swimming pool, dog park, sidewalks and streetlights, all within a gated setting. For added security, on-site management and 24-hour maintenance are available.

Creekside Cottages is JCCG's fourth project with a notable publicly traded REIT. Vertical construction is projected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025. The VIP list is now open, with leasing starting in spring or summer 2026.
