Property description
Franklin Street is pleased to present Woodberry Flats at Byron, a 42-unit, two-story garden community located in Byron, Georgia. Built in 1998 and tucked into a quiet, wooded setting just off Interstate 75 in the center of Middle Georgia. The unit mix includes 2 one-bedroom/one-bath, 16 two-bedroom/one-bath, 8 two-bedroom/two-bath, and 16 three-bedroom/two-bath units, averaging 896 square feet. A number of units have been renovated with luxury vinyl plank flooring, white shaker cabinetry, granite-style countertops, stainless steel appliances, and matte black fixtures, leaving the remaining classic units available for renovation by an oncoming ownership group. For a resident, Woodberry Flats at Byron's draw is simple: space, quiet, and a location that keeps daily life close. Byron Elementary and Byron Middle sit about a mile from the front door, and the on-site playground plus North Peach Park just up the road (splashpad, walking and biking trails, ball fields, tennis and pickleball) make it an easy fit for families. Publix and Walmart are a three-minute drive out to the Watson Boulevard corridor at I-75, with the full Warner Robins shopping and dining strip and Macon's Shoppes at River Crossing a short run north or south on the interstate. What underpins the location is employment opportunities. Robins Air Force Base, Georgia's largest single-site employer, is a straight 25-minute drive down I-75, and Byron itself continues to add industrial payroll with Frito-Lay and Pure Flavor, while Blue Bird's Fort Valley bus plant and the Houston Healthcare and Atrium Health Navicent hospital systems all sit within a 25-minute reach. Woodberry Flats at Byron lets that workforce live in affordable, spacious, increasingly updated housing, with the three-bedroom options and I-75 access that most competing communities in the submarket cannot match.
Property highlights
- 1 | Opportunity to Complete Value-Add Program• Most of the 42 units have been renovated since the 2023 acquisition (24 complete as of the January 2025 appraisal with three more finishing that month, and $1.2M+ in owner reported renovation spend), and renovated units re-lease at roughly a $150 per month premium. • In-place rents average $1,015 versus $1,077 market on the current rent roll, roughly $23K/yr of loss-to-lease before any additional renovation premium. • 16 of 42 units (38%) are true 3BR/2BA homes, a floor plan in short supply across the Byron and Warner Robins submarket, supporting rent premiums and stickier tenancy. • 5.28 acres across 4 parcels with a 2011-built Phase II building (the eight 2BR/2BA units) and a mostly undeveloped fourth parcel; one non-revenue office unit and one offline unit offer additional recapturable income.
- 2 | Deep Employer Base, New Capital Investment• Robins Air Force Base, Georgia’s largest single-site industrial complex, employs more than 21,000 and generated a $4.48 billion economic impact in 2025, with its workforce growing about 11% over the past two years. • The regional economy rests on four pillars: military and government; manufacturing (Perdue 2,520, Frito-Lay 1,512, Blue Bird 2,000+, plus Graphic Packaging, Kumho Tire, and Northrop Grumman); healthcare (Atrium Health Navicent ~4,600 and Emory/ Houston Healthcare ~2,475); and logistics (Amazon 500+, with trade and transportation the fastest-growing sector at +11.6% year over year). • Fresh capital is landing in Peach County itself: Pratt Industries ($120M+, 125+ jobs) opened in Byron’s Robins Industrial Park in 2024 and KIHOMAC’s aerospace facility opened in Byron in March 2026, alongside Blue Bird’s $80M EV plant expansion (~700 jobs) in Fort Valley and Jack Link’s $450M, 800-job plant in Perry. • The 1,100-acre Middle Georgia Megasite in Peach County positions the county for future large-employer recruitment.
