Jim Chapman Communities announces that its new home starts are up 250 percent from last year. With spectacular active adult homes in a variety of sought-after locations, this statistic is no surprise to the builder.

“Our communities are selling fast,” stated Kelly Dempsey, vice president of sales and marketing at Jim Chapman Communities. “We predict that we will see continued success in 2013 and are excited to start on more new homes.”

Brookhaven at Sugarloaf in Duluth, Brookhaven of East Cobb in Kennesaw and Brookhaven at Lanier Ridge in Cumming are just a few of the builder’s popular communities.
