Jim Chapman Construction Group, a general contractor specializing in build-to-rent communities, announced that the clubhouse and model homes are now open for tours at The Cottages at Capital Circle, a 206-unit build-to-rent community in Tallahassee, Florida.
The opening marks a significant milestone in the delivery of the community, which has progressed from initial horizontal construction in March 2024 to vertical construction beginning in June 2025, culminating in completed model homes and amenity spaces just over two years later. Momentum has continued since leasing launched in February 2026, with The Cottages at Capital Circle already 22% pre-leased.
That accelerated timeline underscores the firm’s ability to execute efficiently across all phases of development, from early sitework through final delivery, while maintaining consistency in construction quality and execution.
“As we transition from construction into full community activation, this project highlights what disciplined execution looks like in the build-to-rent sector,” said Chris Mancuso, president of JCCG. “It reflects the speed and reliability that define our delivery approach.”
Amenity-Rich, Gated Community Design
The professionally decorated model homes at The Cottages at Capital Circle are now open for tours, showcasing the community’s design-forward floorplans, modern finishes and flexible living spaces tailored to today’s renters.
The Cottages at Capital Circle features a 4,000-square-foot clubhouse, built by Chapco Design Build, a division of JCCG, with a fitness center and swimming pool, creating a central hub for resident activity and connection. The gated community also includes sidewalks and streetlights throughout to enhance walkability and provide added peace of mind. A dedicated dog park offers a safe, open space for residents’ pets.
Tallahassee: A Growing Market for Quality Rental Housing
Tallahassee continues to demonstrate strong fundamentals for build-to-rent development, supported by a stable employment base anchored by state government, Florida State University and Florida A&M University. This concentration of public sector and academic employment contributes to consistent rental demand across a wide range of resident profiles, including professionals, university faculty and students.
In addition, evolving housing preferences and rising homeownership costs have increased demand for professionally managed, single-family rental communities that offer more space, privacy and lifestyle amenities than traditional multifamily housing.
“The strength of the Tallahassee market lies in its stability and long-term demand drivers,” said Jim Chapman, CEO of JCCG. “Communities like this meet a growing need for high-quality rental housing in well-located neighborhoods.”
The Cottages at Capital Circle is part of Jim Chapman Construction Group’s growing build-to-rent portfolio across the Southeast, which focuses on delivering purpose-built rental communities in high-demand markets. The firm continues to expand its footprint in the single-family rental sector with projects designed to meet sustained demand for professionally managed housing.
