Green Brick Partners, Inc. Closes on Land for New Mixed-Use Concept in North Atlanta Suburb Market

Green Brick Partners’ subsidiary, The Providence Group of Georgia, to manage development and exclusively construct homes in the amenity-rich mixed-use community to address surging demand in the growing area

Green Brick Partners, Inc. (NYSE: GRBK) (“Green Brick”) is pleased to announce the recent purchase of approximately 152 acres in Cumming, GA for a vertically integrated mixed-use development. Green Brick Partners’ subsidiary, The Providence Group of Georgia, will manage the overall development and exclusively build the planned 474 detached and attached homes. The project called Sawnee Village is located within 1 mile of the New Cumming City Center in Cumming, GA and will have entrances on both Pilgrim Mill Road and Highway 9. In addition to the homes built by The Providence Group, the walkable mixed-use neighborhood is planned to include 250+ apartments, 220,000 SF of institutional senior living, 106,000 SF of commercial, office, retail, and entertainment venues. The estimated value of the project is expected to be over $400 Million.

The master-planned neighborhood is conveniently located near GA-400, a major north-south artery and Hwy 20, a major east-west corridor providing easy accessibility to multiple employment centers and area attractions. The Collection at Forsyth shopping district, the mixed-use projects of Halcyon and Avalon are a short drive away as well as the North Ga. Premium Outlet mall to the north of the property. The prime location also gives residents direct access to the nearby Northside Forsyth hospital.

“With surging interest in the area, extensive social infrastructure in-place and a prime location near Lake Sidney Lanier, Cumming was a logical choice for our focused development efforts,” said Warren Jolly, President of The Providence Group. “Our company has been involved in many successful mixed-use developments over the years and we are excited about this project and feel it will be one of our best yet.”

“This project is a model for a vibrant, community-oriented mixed-use development,” said Lamar Wakefield, AIA, National Practice Leader for Mixed Use with NELSON Architecture who was the leader of master planning and design for this project as well as projects like the Avalon, Halcyon and The Battery Atlanta. “We see this project having a huge halo effect for the Cumming area, by bringing all components to enhance quality of life, including retail, parks, entertainment venues, along with a mix of homes and apartments.”

According to John Hunt of MarketNSight, a national source of new and resale housing data, the housing inventory in the Forsyth Central High School submarket area where this project will be built is vastly undersupplied. “The Forsyth Central High School submarket area currently shows 0.7 months of supply of both attached and detached inventory. Equilibrium in a healthy market has historically been 6 months of supply.” “To put this in perspective,” said Hunt, “ 870 homes would need to be added to the housing supply in the next 12 months for inventory to reach equilibrium levels.”

Sawnee Village is expected to begin development early Summer of 2022.
