Jim Chapman Communities Inc. Atlanta, Georgia

Jim Chapman, an Atlanta native and graduate of The Westminster Schools, is a home building veteran who started his own custom home building firm, Jim Chapman Fine Homes, in 1998 after earning an MBA from Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill in 1996. From 1998 through 2005, his firm primarily built custom homes in Buckhead, Alpharetta and Highlands, North Carolina. In 2005, he began to also build and develop an active adult portfolio under the brand of Jim Chapman Communities, which has now become synonymous with high quality, maintenance-free, age-restricted communities throughout metropolitan Atlanta. The private, often gated, communities offer a variety of architectural styles and are set in prime locations in the North Atlanta metropolitan area. In 2017, Jim leveraged his active adult experience and began a Build to Rent Community line of business targeting the high-level workforce and active adult/senior demographic that desires to rent rather than own. As a builder and developer, Jim is deeply committed to the success of the U.S. home building industry and dedicates a large portion of his limited free time to a variety of local, regional and national housing industry organizations. He recently served as the President of the Homebuilders Association of Georgia (2021) and the Greater Atlanta Homebuilders Association (2018) as well as Build PAC Chairman.
