DDB Capital Fund LLC (“DDB Capital”), an Alpharetta, Georgia-headquartered real estate investment fund, announced that the City of Cullman has approved a rezoning for the creation of a 52-acre residential community.

The new community, which will be named Brock Trace, will consist of up to 120 single-family homes and 30 townhomes located within access of Birmingham and Huntsville. Community amenities will include a resort-style pool, pickleball courts, connected walking trails, neighborhood green spaces, a playground, and gathering areas.

The fund added that engineering and builder coordination will begin immediately, with the first home sales anticipated in the fourth quarter of this year.

“Working alongside the City of Cullman, we structured this community to meet both market demand and municipal priorities,” said Derek Distenfield, managing director at DDB Capital. “The transparent rezoning process, which included a Memorandum of Understanding, strengthened the project. It ensured thoughtful density, appropriate design standards, and infrastructure coordination. The outcome is a win for residents, the city, and long-term stakeholders.”
