Emerson is about to get a fresh batch of rental townhomes, thanks to a $30.7 million construction loan that Trilogy Investment Co. has locked down for its REV3 at Stars Way project. The deal clears a key financing hurdle for the build-to-rent community planned just outside the LakePoint Sports campus, a youth-sports magnet that has been reshaping this corner of Bartow County. For local officials and nearby residents, the loan is another sign that suburban rental townhomes are pushing deeper into northwestern Metro Atlanta.
Loan and project details
According to the Atlanta Business Chronicle, Trilogy closed the $30.7 million construction loan for the Emerson site on June 22, 2026. The outlet identifies the development as REV3 at Stars Way and describes it as a build-to-rent townhome community set next to the LakePoint campus. The report also situates the project within Trilogy’s broader REV3 program, which focuses on rental townhome communities rather than for-sale units.
Site and background
CityBiz reported in October 2024 that the Stars Way and LakePoint Parkway site was being prepped for 122 townhome lots and that Trilogy had already closed an $8.1 million land loan for the property. That reporting places REV3 at Stars Way on roughly 8.5 acres inside the wider LakePoint Sports footprint and helps explain why developers have been circling this corner of Emerson since 2024.
Trilogy’s regional push
Trilogy has not been shy about planting more REV3 flags around Metro Atlanta. Urbanize Atlanta shows recent closings and groundbreakings, including a smaller REV3 townhome deal in Decatur, as the company builds out its rental footprint. The growing pipeline suggests a familiar pattern for Trilogy: pick up land, layer in infrastructure financing, then follow with construction loans across fast-growing Sun Belt suburbs.
Why location matters
LakePoint Sports has become one of Bartow County’s biggest economic engines. The campus promotes more than a million visitor days each year and has already attracted new hotels, restaurants and road upgrades in Emerson. LakePoint Sports markets the complex as a driver of nearby housing demand tied to tournaments and seasonal events. For city and county officials, layering in permanently occupied, renter-focused townhomes could diversify the housing mix around the sports hub and tap into that steady flow of visitors who turn into long-term residents.
Public reports have not yet pinned down a construction start date for REV3 at Stars Way. Trilogy’s press listings and recent REV3 projects elsewhere suggest vertical construction often follows soon after financing. Trilogy's press page highlights several 2026 closings and groundbreakings around the Sun Belt, which typically come right before permit filings and visible site work. For now, local permitting records and builder notices will be the places to watch for firm timelines and a leasing game plan for the Emerson community.
