CHARLESTON, SC – Material Capital Partners, a vertically integrated real estate development and investment management firm focused on build-for-rent single family rental housing communities across the Southeast and Florida, announced its latest single family rental development community, The Preserve at Sweetwater, in North Augusta, South Carolina. Groundbreaking of the community is scheduled for May 2022 with pre-leasing officially starting in November 2022 and project completion in early fall 2023.
The Preserve at Sweetwater will include 89 townhomes featuring a mix of 2 and 3 bedrooms and showcase a community of new urbanist design with intelligent use of greenspace and a wellness focus for residents, with a state-of-the-art fitness center, outdoor lounge area with firepit and outdoor kitchen, premium bark park, outdoor activity areas and walking paths. Residents will also delight in private, fenced backyards and patios. Each of The Preserve at Sweetwater’s townhomes will be outfitted with smart home features that will include smart locks, thermostats, garage door openers and all-electric energy rated stainless steel appliances. The homes will also feature luxury upgraded finishes that include custom kitchen cabinetry and large center islands, designer tile backsplashes, granite countertops and rich wood-style plank flooring to provide residents with a warm and inviting place to call home.
Alex Chalmers, Managing Partner at MCP, said, “MCP is thrilled to bring our build-for-rent product to North Augusta and be a part of the community. The Preserve at Sweetwater is a fantastic example of how MCP seeks to generate exceptional living experiences for people who want the luxury amenities of a Class A apartment building but desire the lifestyle of a house with more space, a backyard and garage within a single-family rental community.”
With the community’s prime location near the intersection of I-20 and I-520, residents will be minutes away from large corporate employers, major healthcare systems, outdoor recreation offerings and well loved retailers. Key employers in the area include Bridgestone, Rolls-Royce, Generac, the US Army Cyber Command at Fort Gordon, the Georgia Cyber Center, Amazon distribution center, Club Car headquarters and Augusta University. The community sits within an brilliant school district and is across the street from Walnut Lane Park.
“North Augusta is a key part of one of the strong ascendant secondary markets in the Southeast. It has a well-deserved fantastic reputation for quality of life. Located between Aiken and Augusta, the city benefits from wonderful amenities and new jobs combined with low cost of living and low cost of housing,” said Joel Presley, MCP Partner and Augusta resident for 30 years.
The Preserve at Sweetwater will be built by local Augusta firm Winchester Commercial Group, MCP’s dedicated construction partner for all its Southeast communities.

JACKSONVILLE, FL – Middleburg Communities, a Vienna, Virginia-based real estate investment, development, construction and management firm, in partnership with Parse Capital, a subsidiary of The Wolff Company, have started construction on The Hamlet at Wildlight, a 250-unit, single family rental community on a 31-acre development site in the 2,900-acre Wildlight Master-plotted community in the Jacksonville MSA. The Hamlet at Wildlight will include cottages, townhomes and duplexes. Construction is expected to be completed in Q4 2023.
Middleburg is poised to be a national leader in newly-developed single family rental communities, with plans to start construction on nearly 2,700 units in 10 communities throughout the Southeast U.S. this year. The firm is actively expanding its construction team based out of its Charlotte, NC division office to support this growth, including the recent opening of a new division office in Orlando, FL which will staff project managers, project engineers, and field superintendents.
Middleburg is building dedicated built-to-rent communities that offer the privacy and outdoor space of traditional single-family detached homes, but do not require a down payment or maintenance from the residents. By having onsite staff, BTR communities feature better professional management than a typical single-family rental.
Middleburg’s The Hamlet-branded SFR communities blend the comforts of a single-family home and the welcoming feel of a neighborhood, with the flexibility and ease of maintenance-free living. Each location features best-in-class amenities and environmentally friendly design.
The Hamlet communities are anticipated to draw interest from current multifamily apartment residents as well as existing single-family home renters and would-be buyers. Building on Middleburg’s proven market strategies, The Hamlet communities are well-located in high job growth Southeastern markets near major arterial highways, grocery, retail, entertainment and healthcare services, quality school districts and job centers. Community designs utilize Traditional Neighborhood Design principles with cottages oriented toward shared outdoor spaces and fronting pedestrian-friendly, tree-lined streets. Sustainability and walkability are emphasized in each community’s design.
Wildlight is a newly developed 2,900-acre community plotted for 3,200 units and 6.2 million square feet of commercial development along with parks, a 10-mile trail network, wellness facilities and an abundance of permanently preserved open space including ballfields. Wildlight is situated just 20 minutes north of Jacksonville along I-95 in rapidly growing Nassau County. Existing and announced employers include UF Health, YMCA, HCA Healthcare, Baptist Health and Publix. The Hamlet at Wildlight will be proximate to the new Wildlight Elementary, which carries a 9/10 Fantastic Schools rating.
