Group Company SCOA Real Estate Partners (SREP) continues to strengthen its presence in the Sunbelt region with a new residential development in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area. The Smyrna-located project will feature 289 apartment homes and marks the residential team’s first investment of the fiscal year, reflecting SCOA’s focus on sustainable growth in high-demand U.S. housing markets.
When asked what made Atlanta appealing for this latest acquisition, Chad Bozza, Executive Vice President and Head of the Residential Team at SREP, said, “This project and partner fulfilled all our required investment criteria—partner, product, market, and economics.”
He explained that SREP’s relationship with Worthing Company is rooted in a proven history of trust and strong performance: Worthing’s strengths, vision, and capabilities align closely with SREP’s investment objectives, making them a reliable partner for this project, and the product itself is designed to outperform comparable developments in the market, offering a higher standard of quality and value. Located in Smyrna, within the broader Atlanta MSA, or Metropolitan Statistical Area, the project benefits from strong fundamentals, including continued in-migration, rent growth, and limited new supply in the area.
“SREP seeks investment opportunities in high growth markets and limited supply. The Atlanta MSA is expected to have robust population and job growth over the next five years, supporting the current market,” Bozza said, commenting on how this investment aligns with SREP’s regional strategy. He also described the partnership with Worthing Company as a long-standing collaboration that consistently delivers results.
“SREP and Worthing share a long-standing, trust-based partnership built on delivering best-in-class communities,” Bozza explained, noting that this project stands as SREP’s eighth investment with the company. “Worthing consistently creates developments that earn stakeholder pride, reinforced by its strong track record in the Atlanta MSA. With deep ties to the local government, successful lease-ups exceeding competitor rents, and strong interest from top institutional investors, Worthing continues to set a high standard in the market.”
Looking ahead, Bozza emphasized that the project is designed to meet real community needs while maintaining SREP’s investment discipline.
“With the completion of this project, we will be able to provide high quality rental housing opportunities for residents wanting easy access to Atlanta’s employment hubs and nearby recreational areas,” he said. “In partnership with Worthing, we endeavor to cultivate a community our residents are proud to call home, featuring thoughtfully designed common areas and amenities that foster connection and engagement.”
This latest Atlanta investment underscores SREP’s disciplined approach to residential growth and its continued partnership with experienced developers in key Sunbelt markets.
