6 Acres, RM-2 Zoned — New Development Opportunity on New Jimmie Daniel Rd
NAI Elrod Group is pleased to offer 6.00 acres for sale at 1930 New Jimmie Daniel Road in west Athens, Georgia — a multifamily development site that’s already cleared its biggest hurdle. The property was recently rezoned from Employment-Industrial (E-I) to RM-2 (Mixed Density Residential), allowing up to 24 units per acre, which means a buyer can move straight into site development rather than starting the entitlement process from scratch.

Location
The site sits along New Jimmie Daniel Road near its intersection with Jennings Mill Parkway, less than half a mile from the shopping and dining along Atlanta Highway and about 3 miles from Epps Bridge Centre. GA-316 is just over a mile away, putting the property within easy reach of both GA-316 and US-78. Downtown Athens and the University of Georgia are roughly 13 minutes out, with Piedmont Oconee Medical Campus and downtown Watkinsville also nearby — a strong location for multifamily demand from students, hospital staff, and the broader west Athens workforce.
Development Potential
With RM-2 zoning already secured, conceptual plans have been prepared for both a townhome layout (three separate buildings of 2-story, 3-bedroom units) and a stacked apartment layout (two 3-story buildings of 12 two-bedroom units per floor). Both concepts show a development ready to move quickly through civil design and permitting.
