McShane Construction Company was selected to provide design-assist construction services for Penler Cherokee. Located in Acworth, Georgia, the multi-family community will offer 192 units. In 2021, McShane completed The Parker, a 240-unit community in Dawsonville, Georgia, for Penler.

“We look forward to partnering with Penler on another multi-family development,” commented Scott Hoppa, Senior Vice President & Regional Manager at McShane. “We’re proud of how our first project together turned out and anticipate another successful venture.”

Positioned on an 18.3-acre site, the development will incorporate eight two-story garden-style buildings. The wood frame buildings will integrate an exterior of painted brick veneer, stone veneer and fiber cement siding.

The units will feature high-end finishes and features including quartz countertops and tile backsplashes in the kitchen, tile bath surrounds in the bathrooms, and balconies.

The property will provide 5,300 square feet of amenity space that will include a clubhouse with a clubroom, fitness center and outdoor swimming pool. Additionally, the site will offer private garages.

As a design-assist project, McShane collaborated with the client and architect throughout the design and pre-construction phases. Benefits of this delivery method include a reduction in cost and schedule overruns, improved constructability and added value to the project.

Completion of construction is slated for August 2024. Dynamik Design is the architect.
