An Alpharetta-based developer has shelled out $14.3 million to kick-start a new townhome community in Powder Springs, clearing the way for 120 purpose-built, build-to-rent units in west Cobb County. Trilogy Investment Company is behind the project, branded REV3 at Hill Road, which is set to feature modern stacked townhomes with one-car garages and shared green space. The site sits close to downtown Powder Springs and the Silver Comet Trail. Leasing is anticipated to begin in the second quarter of 2026, with the first homes expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2026.
As reported by the Atlanta Business Chronicle, Trilogy paid $14.3 million tied to the Powder Springs development. Trilogy Investment Company lists the site as 4975 Hill Road and showcases the REV3 branding planned for the community.
Project details and timeline
REV3 at Hill Road is planned to deliver 120 stacked townhomes with one-car garages, open-plan kitchens and shared amenities that include walking trails, a playground and pet-friendly green space.

Leasing is expected to start in the second quarter of 2026, with initial home deliveries targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026, per that reporting.
Why builders are betting on BTR in Atlanta
Build-to-rent remains a major focus for developers across the Sun Belt as households look for more space and stable rental choices, and Atlanta has become one of the busiest BTR markets in the country. Data from Yardi Matrix shows Atlanta among the metros projected to lead BTR deliveries in the coming years. For developers, townhome-style rentals can read like for-sale housing to residents while offering institutional owners more predictable cash flow.
Local context and questions
That rush into build-to-rent has raised eyebrows in parts of metro Atlanta, where critics argue purpose-built rentals can squeeze out potential for-sale housing and reshape how neighborhoods evolve. Urbanize Atlanta reports the metro has thousands of BTR units permitted or under construction and tracks the ongoing debate over the trend. Powder Springs city agendas also point to municipal involvement in property transactions and planning, underscoring how local approvals and land deals will continue to steer where new housing shows up in the years ahead.
Trilogy’s push into Powder Springs is the latest signal that institutional builders see suburban Atlanta as fertile ground for townhome-style rentals. For more on the project specifics, see the Trilogy Investment Company overview and reporting by the Atlanta Business Chronicle.
