Other builders are now following suit.

Alpharetta-based Edison Real Estate Partners is moving forward with infrastructure work on a large project called Dobbs Landing, citing the Covington submarket’s rapid growth.

Residential plans call for a mix of 387 standalone houses and townhomes spread across a 110-acre site where Crowell Road meets Harold Dobbs Road.

The property in question is west of Covington’s historic downtown, about 30 miles southeast of downtown Atlanta.

Edison has inked an agreement to sell the finished lots to an unnamed, national homebuilder, according to Concord Summit reps.

Founded in 2022, Edison is a development and residential real estate investment platform focused on Southeast markets considered high-growth and supply-constrained. It’s completed more than $2 billion in residential and commercial transactions to date, per company officials

According to blueprints, there will be more to Dobbs Landing than places to live.

Blueprints indicate a future county trail system will also snake through the site.

Covington’s TV and film history tracing from The Dukes of Hazzard and In the Heat of the Night to Vampire Diaries has earned the city the nickname “The Hollywood of the South,” which other developers have pointed to as an additional perk.
