"Corwyn at Conyers will be the first new apartments in the Conyers market in 20 years," said James Baugnon, President and CIO at ECI. "Driven by explosive job growth, as demonstrated last week by Rivian Automotive's announcement of a multi-billion dollar EV vehicle-assembly and battery plant to be located in the I-20 East Corridor, this Class A apartment project with modern finishes and resort style amenities will be a welcome addition to the more dated inventory of rental options in this market today."

Corwyn at Conyers will have immediate proximity to I-20 as well as over one million square feet of retail, restaurants, hotels, shopping and service amenities.
