Partner Jim Beveridge with McKinney Builders joins the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss new homes at Town at Trilith, The Gardens at Arbor Springs and more! Beveridge sits down with host Carol Morgan and chats about the company’s impact on the real estate and business community.
A University of Georgia graduate with a bachelor’s degree in finance, Beveridge’s career timeline features 28 years of experience as a banker, mainly representing homebuilders. During market downturns, he often helped manage troubled loans and real estate. He shared that he enjoyed figuring out what went wrong and how to bring those assets back to the market to position them to receive the highest value. During this time, Beveridge also worked on obtaining his MBA from Georgia State University.
Beveridge said, “I got the bug for real estate during those downturns!”
Following the Great Recession, the bank Beveridge was working for was not ready to provide loans again. He followed his love for real estate and partnered with Mac McKinney with McKinney Builders. Originally a builder that produced a few custom homes per year, McKinney Builders is now a production builder currently constructing in five different communities.
Beveridge said, “[Over the last 12 years,] we’ve become the leading builder of both Serenbe and Trilith, and developed 10 communities [that have] won Community of the Year!”
The builder’s active adult product, available at The Gardens at Arbor Springs, highlights select basement and slab homes with a courtyard design, featuring an interior courtyard, owner’s suite on the main floor, open concept kitchen and den and much more! The community features a stellar onsite amenities package that includes a clubhouse with a basement gym, trails, a wildflower meadow and access to the attached master-planned community’s onsite golf course. Arbor Springs will feature around 1,000 homes upon completion. The Gardens at Arbor Springs section will feature 49 homes in Phase I and 22 homes expected in Phase II. Beveridge also shared that a new community at Arbor Springs is underway, with the plan to construct 125 additional residences.
The builder is starting an enclave of homes adjacent to Lake Burton in a community called Burton. The first five homes in the McKinney Builders section, two presales and three specs, are going vertical. With frames that are nestled into the homesites, many of the homes feature stunning lake views. The homes are located across from Brad’s Marina and have access to a substantial network of trails near the Moccasin Creek National Park and the surrounding forest.
Beveridge said, “We’re creating a highly experiential community that creates close relationships between people occupying the spaces and sites.”
