EVANS, GA – Fickling & Company, a Macon, Ga.-based real estate services and development firm (www.fickling.com), has selected NorSouth Constructs of Savannah, Ga. (www.nsconstructs.com) to build its new, high-end apartment community, Lullwater at Riverwood, in Evans, Ga. Construction will begin first quarter of 2013 on Phase One, which will consist of 212 garden apartments on a lushly landscaped site with an abundance of green space, pocket parks and walking/jogging trails. When completed, Lullwater at Riverwood will include 350 one, two and three-bedroom apartment homes, a resort-style pool with cabanas and grilling area, clubhouse, business center, conference room, fitness center and resident activity center.

“We are delighted to be working with NorSouth Constructs on this exciting new development,” said R.J. “Bobby” Cleveland, Jr., vice president of Fickling & Company. “The company has unparalleled experience in building high-quality, mixed-use multifamily and independent senior communities throughout the Southeast.

I believe NorSouth Constructs’ commitment to excellence and our track record of success make us the ideal partner for the construction of this new community.”

Lullwater at Riverwood is located just off Washington Road at Riverwood Plantation. Its low density site plan was created to take advantage of the existing topography, while the development’s architecture reflects the quality and style of the homes in surrounding neighborhoods. The energy-efficient apartment homes will feature 9-foot ceilings with crown moulding, tile entry foyers, walk-in closets and luxurious baths. Select units will offer granite kitchen countertops, computer nooks, tray ceilings, hardwood floors and garages.
