Two years after breaking ground, a multifamily project that “sets a new standard for suburban living” has opened within walking distance of Sugar Hill’s burgeoning town center in northern Gwinnett County, according to developers.

Conclave Sugar Hill, a 306-unit mix of apartments and rental townhomes, debuted its first phase in recent weeks at a site tucked off Ga. Highway 20, just north of Downtown Sugar Hill.

The 1375 Hillcrest Drive location also counts a direct connection to the Sugar Hill Greenway, a five-mile multi-use trail that will eventually span 16.5 miles.

According to the project’s Atlanta-based developers, Novare Group and BCDC, a Greenway bridge is planned to span Ga. Highway 20 to help connect city residents with downtown, which counts attractions such as The Bowl communal amphitheater, boutique retail and restaurants, and the distinctive, Art Deco-inspired Eagle Theatre. The southernmost shores of Lake Lanier are also nearby.

Jim Borders, Novare’s president and CEO, said in a project announcement that Sugar Hill’s “focus on enhancing the quality of life” has made it “one of the most desirable places to live in Gwinnett County.”

Developers have previously described the Conclave rental community, with options ranging from studios to three-bedroom townhomes, as Class A and the most luxurious product in the market.

Right now, the least expensive options available start at $1,455 monthly. That rents one bedroom and one bathroom in 597 square feet.

The priciest apartments listed are three-bedroom, two-bathroom units with 1,338 square feet. Those start at $2,645.

Prices for multi-level townhome units with private garages aren’t listed.

Communal amenities at Conclave include a resort-style pool, two-story clubroom with a lounge and library, coworking spaces, a dog park, fire pits, greenspaces, and a two-story fitness center.
