The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) has elected Atlantas Jim Chapman, president of Jim Chapman Communities and Jim Chapman Fine Homes, as 2016 chairman of the NAHB 55+ Housing Industry Council.

I am truly honored to be leading the NAHB 55+ Housing Industry Council. It is the most exciting and vibrant new-home market going right now, said Chapman. Our Councils membership is a tremendous resource for builders wanting to learn more about the 55+ housing market, and I hope that our programs for 2016-2017 will elevate our profile and draw other builders into our Council and into our marketplace.

Chapman is a home building veteran who started his own custom home building firm, Jim Chapman Fine Homes, in 1998. In 2005, he began to build and develop an active adult portfolio under the brand of Jim Chapman Communities. Currently, he is building under both brands throughout Buckhead, Vinings, Cobb, Forsyth, Fulton, Cherokee, Paulding and Douglas counties.
