Killearn entered the Georgia market and relocated its headquarters to the Eagle’s Landing area of Stockbridge in the late 1980s. The company has developed three Metro South golf and country club communities, including Eagle’s Landing, Eagle’s Brooke in Locust Grove, and Durham Lakes in Fairburn; as well as two in the North Georgia mountains, Waterfall Country Club at Lake Burton and Kingwood Golf Club and Resort near Clayton.

The company was founded in 1964 in Tallahassee, FL, by J. T. Williams with the idea of creating communities catering to the lifestyles of the upwardly-mobile middle class in Florida’s capital city. Among the Florida projects were two 4,000-acre master planned communities, Killearn Estates and Killearn Lakes Plantation, which includes Golden Eagle Country Club.
