JCCG Announces Grand Opening of Creekside Cottages

Posted on: October 1st, 2026

Jim Chapman Construction Group (JCCG), a general contractor specializing in build-to-rent communities, announces the grand opening of Creekside Cottages, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 28, at 10 a.m. CST. 

Now leasing and managed by Capstone Communities, Creekside Cottages gives residents a new option in the Auburn-Opelika area, combining the space and privacy of a cottage home with the convenience of a professionally managed community. Prospective residents, project partners and members of the Opelika community are invited to experience the homes and amenities firsthand during the event. 

“We’re proud to see residents beginning to move in while our team puts the finishing touches on Creekside Cottages,” said Chris Mancuso, president of JCCG. “It’s been a strong project from the start, and we’re looking forward to celebrating this next chapter in Opelika.” 

A Community Built for the Way People Live 

Creekside Cottages features 225 attached cottage homes on 39 acres at the intersection of Society Hill Road and Gateway Drive. The homes range from 1,000 to 1,439 square feet and include two- and three-bedroom floor plans with attached one- or two-car garages and main-level primary suites. 

The community was designed to give residents room to live, work, relax and connect. Chapco Design Build, a division of JCCG, delivered the amenity package, including a clubhouse, swimming pool and dog park. Streetlight-lined sidewalks create a connected setting throughout the gated community, while on-site management and 24-hour maintenance through Capstone Communities add convenience for residents. 

A New Rental Option in Auburn-Opelika 

Creekside Cottages is located near Auburn University and major employers throughout the Auburn-Opelika area, giving residents easy access to the region’s employment and education opportunities. 

The community also reflects the growing presence of build-to-rent housing in regional markets. As more renters look for the space and features typically associated with single-family homes, communities such as Creekside Cottages are bringing another option to growing markets like Opelika. 

“The best part of a project like this is seeing the vision become a place where residents can thrive and build their lives,” said Jim Chapman, CEO of JCCG. “Creekside Cottages brings together quality homes, thoughtful amenities and a location that gives residents access to everything the Auburn-Opelika area has to offer.” 

Creekside Cottages represents JCCG’s fourth collaboration with a publicly traded REIT and adds to the company’s growing portfolio of build-to-rent communities across the Southeast. The project reflects JCCG’s role in bringing BTR communities from early planning and pre-construction through land development and vertical construction.
