RKW Residential, one of the nation’s fastest-growing multifamily management firms, continues its expansion in the Georgia market. The firm was selected by Westplan to oversee management and leasing of the 253-unit Accent Suwanee Creek community in Duluth, Georgia, and added Sean Chalpan as Regional Manager to support its growth throughout the state.
Accent Suwanee Creek is a modern, inviting community offering one, two and three-bedroom apartments. Strategically located in the vibrant Duluth area, the property provides residents with access to first-class amenities, modern design and proximity to the best of suburban Atlanta living.
Chalpan brings more than 26 years of property management expertise to his new role, including his most recent position as Regional Manager at Greystar. With deep knowledge of operational performance and team leadership, Chalpan is well-equipped to oversee RKW’s expanding Georgia portfolio.
“As a Georgia native, this market holds personal significance for me.” said Kevin Owens, RKW’s Atlanta-based President of Property Management. “Expanding our footprint in the area and welcoming a seasoned professional like Sean to the team highlight our dedication to delivering exceptional property management services in one of the nation’s most dynamic regions.”
The Atlanta metropolitan area continues to present significant opportunities for growth, driven by Georgia’s robust real estate market and increasing demand for high-quality rental communities. According to Statista, Georgia’s real estate market is expected to reach a value of $174.20 billion this year, with residential real estate leading at $141.70 billion. RKW’s continued investment in this thriving region reflects its commitment to meet the needs of residents and property owners, while capitalizing on Georgia’s favorable market conditions.
RKW’s Georgia expansion is the latest milestone in its ongoing growth across the Southeast and beyond. The firm’s performance has earned national recognition, including inclusion on the NMHC 2023 and 2024 Top 50 Managers ranking, which is based on portfolio size. The firm also secured top rankings for resident satisfaction and operational excellence in the 2024 J Turner Research Division I ORA® (Online Reputation Assessment) Power Ranking.
