# 28 leading property developers in Georgia

Tamtam tracks 28 property developers headquartered in Georgia. This list ranks all of them by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by PulteGroup, Cortland and Beazer Homes. Their median headcount is 363. Half of them were founded in 1989 or later. The most common headquarters are Atlanta (19), Alpharetta (2) and Marietta (2).

The companies listed are primarily real estate developers and construction firms based in Georgia, many of them large groups or well-established mid-sized companies. They specialize in various aspects of property, from residential homebuilding to large-scale commercial and mixed-use developments. The list includes companies like PulteGroup, a large American homebuilder; Cortland, focused on multifamily real estate investment and management; Beazer Homes, building homes and promoting diversity; and Peachtree Group, a private equity firm deploying capital in hospitality and real estate.

A clear pattern among these companies is their strong concentration in the Atlanta metropolitan area, with most headquartered in Atlanta itself, and a few in nearby Alpharetta or Roswell. This suggests a central hub for real estate and construction activities within the state. The founding dates range from the mid-20th century, such as H. J. Russell & Company (1952) and Cousins Properties (1958), to more recent establishments like Cortland (2005) and Starlight Homes (2016), indicating a mix of long-standing and newer players in the market.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
