Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, South City Partners is a fully integrated real estate development company operating across Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama. The firm’s stated philosophy is “creating value – for residents, for investors, and for the surrounding community,” and it applies that across a portfolio of more than 25 completed and in-development projects.
Development capabilities span a wide range of product types: urban infill mixed-use projects, wrap and podium construction, high-rise buildings, garden and suburban low-density communities, town center mixed-use developments, and student housing. South City Partners manages the entire project lifecycle in-house, from initial site selection and market analysis through entitlements, design, programming, construction management, leasing, property management, and eventual disposition.
Notable completed projects include Square on Fifth (628 student housing units in Atlanta), The Mix (685 student housing units in Atlanta), West 22 (850 student housing units in Kennesaw), and South 10 (592 student housing units in Tuscaloosa). Mixed-use work includes 10 West Edge in Charleston, South Carolina (350 residential units paired with 16,608 square feet of retail space), and Alpharetta City Center (168 units with 74,668 square feet of retail), demonstrating experience with both Georgia metro submarkets and regional Southeast markets.
