A significant milestone has been achieved in the redevelopment of a key site near Georgia Southern University. The project, spearheaded by CCI Real Estate, aims to revitalize a 1.79-acre property that has long served as an important community hub. After completing demolition, construction is now underway on a multi-use development designed to enhance student life and foster stronger connections within the university community. This initiative, part of an ongoing collaboration with the Baptist Collegiate Ministry (BCM), promises to offer modern living spaces alongside versatile areas for gatherings and retail.

The financing for this ambitious project was secured through a strategic partnership with Morris Bank, facilitated by Summerhill CRE, a debt capital advisor. Located at 1701 Chandler Road, the new development will feature residential units tailored for students, along with flexible spaces that encourage interaction among students, faculty, and visitors. The BCM, which has been a cornerstone of the local community for nearly eight decades, will continue its mission from this updated location, providing larger and more functional areas for ministry activities and fellowship. Pre-leasing for the apartments is set to commence in the fall of 2025, with the entire project anticipated to be completed by summer 2026.

This transformative project exemplifies the power of collaboration and shared vision. By creating a vibrant new space that integrates living, learning, and community engagement, CCI and its partners are setting a precedent for sustainable development that benefits both the university and the broader community. The completion of this project will not only provide essential housing but also strengthen the bonds between students and the surrounding area, fostering an environment where growth and unity thrive.
