The long-planned “urban lifestyle” replacement for a demolished and cleared Kmart in Doraville is gearing up to finally move forward—at least partially.
Miami-based developer Resia, the company behind a five-building residential project on Memorial Drive and another in Douglasville, is gearing up to build the first phase of a sizable multifamily project at 5593 Buford Highway, company officials tell Urbanize Atlanta.
Resia Lotus Grove’s initial phase calls for a 12-story building—the tallest in Doraville, per project officials—with 456 apartments and perks that include a pool and fitness center.
Gus Cabrera, Resia’s director of business development, recently told Urbanize infrastructure work on the residential tower has begun, and full development is on pace to start next year.
Project renderings “are still being massaged” and aren’t available for public release, per Resia officials.
The scope of Resia’s work will include shared infrastructure for what’s planned to be a much larger, mixed-use destination, situated just beyond Interstate 285 along the foodie mecca that is Buford Highway. Real estate investment firm Insignia is putting together the larger project.

A Kmart Big K operated on the 13-acre Doraville property until 2010. It was fully cleared two years ago, ostensibly setting the stage for a complex called Lotus Grove that promised to continue the development trend of urban-style, mixed-use nodes along Atlanta’s near-northside in cities such as Chamblee and Dunwoody.
Where the full Lotus Grove project stands today remains a question mark. Inquiries to Insignia officials in recent weeks haven’t been returned.
According to the developer’s website, Lotus Grove will eventually see two 12-story residential towers (with 780 units total) as part of roughly 1 million square feet of new construction.
Other facets would include a national hotel and a public park designed to be activated for events.
“Lotus Grove will bring more urbanization to the City of Doraville and its surrounding neighborhoods,” reads Insignia’s description, “while revitalizing Buford Highway.”

Three years ago, Doraville’s Downtown Development Authority issued roughly $120 million worth of revenue bonds that Insignia will have to pay back, plus a tax abatement in the ballpark of $40 million.
The Lotus Grove site is less than a mile from the initial phase of Doraville’s Assembly Atlanta TV and film studio and greenspace complex, which has risen from the ashes of a razed General Motors plant.

Two and ½ years after it officially broke ground, another glassy high-rise is at the cusp of opening on Atlanta’s signature street with a mix of uses.
Having replaced a surface parking lot, the 31-story Society Atlanta is the latest project in a national brand that developers say offers relative affordability in choice locations. In Atlanta, that means co-living (read: roommate-style) floorplans in non-student housing at Society Atlanta, in some cases.
National real estate firm PMG and Toronto-based private equity and asset management company Greybrook announced today pre-leasing has begun at the 811 Peachtree St. building, with first move-ins scheduled for early next month.
In addition to 460 apartments, the project will deliver more than 87,000 square feet of office space and 14,500 square feet of ground-level retail in hopes of enlivening one of Midtown’s densest sections.
Getting a foot in the door at this new Society costs $1,505 monthly. That rents one bedroom and one bathroom in 423 square feet, but in a rent-by-bedroom arrangement with a shared kitchen, living room, dining room, and balcony.

That does represent a slight monthly cost savings over the most recent Midtown apartment high-rise to deliver, Loria Ansley, as one example. Studio apartments at that project, also located on Peachtree Street near the High Museum of Art, start at $1,546 square feet with a little more square footage—but no shared spaces.
Meanwhile, the priciest rentals at Society Atlanta listed right now ask $4,420 monthly for three bedrooms and three bathrooms in 1,286 square feet.
Two months of free rent is being offered as a grand opening special.
Perks of the building include a yoga lawn and pool deck positioned atop a parking garage, an app-based key entry system, and modern gym and fitness studios described by project officials as “massive.” Daily fitness events are planned.
Cushman & Wakefield has been tasked with leasing two full floors of Class A office space at the building, each roughly 43,000 square feet. Bridger Properties is handling retail leasing at street level, with spaces ranging from 736 to 14,500 square feet, per officials.
Ryan Shear, a PMG managing partner, said in the announcement the company has been “longtime admirers of Midtown” and that its Peachtree Street building “brings a new level of modern living, abundant amenities, and engaging event programming to the market.”

The Cooper Carry-designed building claimed a surface parking lot at the southeast corner of Peachtree and 6th streets. For several years, The Integral Group was planning a visually striking apartment tower called EVIVA Peachtree for the site but eventually walked way in 2018, reopening the lot to paid parking for several years.
The pricey corner parcel totaling 1.27 acres went for $20.3 million in 2021, PMG reps said at the time. Society Atlanta officially broke ground in May 2022.
Like other projects under the Society Living concept, PMG says Society Atlanta was created to address an insatiable demand for reasonable rents close to walkable, urban centers.

Courtesy of PMG
More than 8,500 units are planned nationally as part of Society Living developments, including Society Las Olas in downtown Fort Lauderdale and others in Miami and Orlando. Similar projects in Brooklyn, Denver, and Nashville are underway. PMG officials say the company has delivered more than $11 billion in assets across the country over the past three decades.

Fancy roaming the country in a luxury motorcoach, but don’t want to sacrifice proximity to pickleball and a resort-style pool? A new concept bound for the North Georgia Mountains aims to rectify that situation.
Like a new $16-million complex near Kennesaw and many others around the country catering to discerning, post-COVID travelers, a luxury RV resort project called DiVine Village on the outskirts of Dahlonega is being designed to blend a sense of adventure with haute comforts and natural beauty.
Recently announced plans for DiVine Village call for 260 RV sites and short-term rentals spread across 110 lakeside acres at 3084 Town Creek Church Road.
The project’s goal is to capitalize on proximity to Georgia wine country and views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with charming Dahlonega (named one of Travel + Leisure magazine’s best American small towns last year) down the road.

DiVine Village was founded by faith-based local entrepreneurs Tom Petrillo and his wife, Karen, and the design team is comprised of Ralph Schuler of JVB Architects (his portfolio includes six deluxe RV resorts in Florida) and Pro Vision Design’s Peter Shipps, a Dahlonega resident behind the well-known Old Edwards Inn in Highlands, N.C.
Alongside what’s described as “luxury motorcoach pads” and “state-of-the-art hookups,” DiVine Village calls for obligatory pickleball courts, an event space, a wine tasting room, a dog park, and a clubhouse next to the resort-style pool with cabanas, hot tubs, and a pool bar. Lakeside walking trails with fire pits and “meditation moments” are also in the mix.
“We were inspired by Dahlonega’s picturesque views, welcoming community, and inherent charm, and we intend to keep it beautifully majestic,” Petrillo noted in the project’s announcement.

Fancy roaming the country in a luxury motorcoach, but don’t want to sacrifice proximity to pickleball and a resort-style pool? A new concept bound for the North Georgia Mountains aims to rectify that situation.
Like a new $16-million complex near Kennesaw and many others around the country catering to discerning, post-COVID travelers, a luxury RV resort project called DiVine Village on the outskirts of Dahlonega is being designed to blend a sense of adventure with haute comforts and natural beauty.
Recently announced plans for DiVine Village call for 260 RV sites and short-term rentals spread across 110 lakeside acres at 3084 Town Creek Church Road.
The project’s goal is to capitalize on proximity to Georgia wine country and views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with charming Dahlonega (named one of Travel + Leisure magazine’s best American small towns last year) down the road.

I-285 Express Lanes transit project shows signs of life

A state, regional, and local initiative that aims to build transit options along 33 and ½ miles of Atlanta’s Interstate 285 loop is entering a new phase, with a goal of better preparing the region for future growth.
Officials with MARTA, the Georgia Department of Transportation, and the Atlanta-region Transit Link Authority, or ATL, today announced a series of meetings scheduled for early December to gather public feedback on the I-285 Express Lanes Transit Study’s preliminary plans.
The meetings, to be held in partnership with city and county officials along the I-285 corridor, will serve to update residents and commuters on planned changes for one of Georgia’s busiest transportation corridors, the northern arc of I-285, according to MARTA.
GDOT’s I-285 Top End Express Lanes project calls for building two new express lanes, all separated by barriers, next to existing lanes around the northern arc.
The section of I-285 in question for transit spans between MARTA’s Indian Creek MARTA station near Stone Mountain (the system’s easternmost stop) and H.E. Holmes MARTA station (the westernmost stop).

The ATL has been leading efforts to study how transit service could best be incorporated into the I-285 express lanes GDOT plans to build. Exactly what the transit options might look like hasn’t been finalized, but GDOT has said the new lanes will be built to accommodate bus rapid transit, or BRT. Cost estimates are also TBD.
Specifically, public transit providers that will operate in new lanes—at no additional cost to transit riders per trip—include MARTA, Xpress, and state-registered van pools. A Peach Pass will be required for drivers.
Project leaders say public input is key to refining plans for flexible, reliable transit in the corridor.
According to GDOT, more than 240,000 vehicles use the stretch of I-285 in question each weekday. The transit study area is expected to see a 42-percent population surge and 33-percent bump in job growth by 2050, which MARTA says underscores the need for better transit options.
The I-285 transit study is “a pivotal step in shaping how we address the region’s growing need for expanded and reliable public transportation,” Collie Greenwood, MARTA general manager and CEO, said in an update today. “By tapping into the funded Express Lanes infrastructure investments already planned for I-285, we have an opportunity to provide efficient transit solutions that benefit residents and commuters alike.”

Another focus of the study will identify needed improvements—such as optimal station and ramp locations, along with potential funding sources—for making I-285 transit access a viable reality.
According to GDOT, a procurement and construction schedule for the project’s initial phases is being put together now. The express lanes are expected to be rolled out in three different phases.
A final study report on transportation options along I-285’s northern arc is scheduled to be completed next summer.
Anyone interested in submitting input on the I-285 project should do so either in-person or online (see bottom of this page) by Dec. 18, according to MARTA.

Developer interest in Atlanta’s western suburbs near several regional attractions continues.
Charlotte-based, mixed-use developer Crescent Communities has closed on land about 20 miles west of downtown to build its fourth RENDER-branded project in the metro.
RENDER Douglasville is slated to take shape at 2553 Fairburn Road as part of The Foxfield Company’s 59-acre The Trails development, which includes the new 500,000-square-foot Great Point Studios film complex anchored by Lionsgate.
Other points of interest in the area include Sweetwater Creek State Park, Six Flags Over Georgia, and downtown Douglasville. The city is the quickly growing county seat and largest city in Douglas County, counting an estimated population of 40,500—or twice what it was in the year 2000.

Situated south of Interstate 20, about four miles from the state park, the 300-unit RENDER Douglasville calls for five buildings standing four stories each, with greenspaces and a connection to the Douglas County Trail System, according to Crescent officials.
The RENDER project line is Crescent’s more approachable, less expensive suburban product, whereas the company’s multifamily NOVEL brand aims to deliver more luxurious, Class A offerings in denser, urban environments.
Perks of the Douglasville project will include a resort-style pool and clubhouse and communal outdoor spaces for movie nights, concerts, and food truck events, per developers.
The broader The Trails development is expected to include a 60,000-square-foot commercial village, a hotel, office spaces, and for-sale townhomes, all linked together by walking trails and sidewalks.

RENDER Douglasville’s apartments are scheduled to deliver in early 2026, per Crescent reps. Financial partners in the project include CIBC, Phoenix Capital Management, and Great Southern Bank, while Crescent Communities Construction is on board as general contractor.
Closer to Atlanta’s core, Crescent opened Novel West Midtown last fall and sold off the high-rise Novel Midtown in the fourth quarter of last year, fetching the city’s highest price for a multifamily community in 2023.
Elsewhere in the metro, the developer has finished a project called RENDER Covington, while RENDER Stockbridge and RENDER Turner Lake are under construction and slated to open in 2025.
Crescent has been active in the Atlanta market for decades, with a dozen completed or forthcoming projects in its portfolio totaling more than 3,000 units. In announcing RENDER Douglasville, Eric Liebendorfer, Crescent’s managing director for Georgia, said the company will “continue to prioritize vigorous growth in the region” moving forward.

Situated south of Interstate 20, about four miles from the state park, the 300-unit RENDER Douglasville calls for five buildings standing four stories each, with greenspaces and a connection to the Douglas County Trail System, according to Crescent officials.
The RENDER project line is Crescent’s more approachable, less expensive suburban product, whereas the company’s multifamily NOVEL brand aims to deliver more luxurious, Class A offerings in denser, urban environments.
Perks of the Douglasville project will include a resort-style pool and clubhouse and communal outdoor spaces for movie nights, concerts, and food truck events, per developers.
The broader The Trails development is expected to include a 60,000-square-foot commercial village, a hotel, office spaces, and for-sale townhomes, all linked together by walking trails and sidewalks.

RENDER Douglasville’s apartments are scheduled to deliver in early 2026, per Crescent reps. Financial partners in the project include CIBC, Phoenix Capital Management, and Great Southern Bank, while Crescent Communities Construction is on board as general contractor.
Closer to Atlanta’s core, Crescent opened Novel West Midtown last fall and sold off the high-rise Novel Midtown in the fourth quarter of last year, fetching the city’s highest price for a multifamily community in 2023.
Elsewhere in the metro, the developer has finished a project called RENDER Covington, while RENDER Stockbridge and RENDER Turner Lake are under construction and slated to open in 2025.
Crescent has been active in the Atlanta market for decades, with a dozen completed or forthcoming projects in its portfolio totaling more than 3,000 units. In announcing RENDER Douglasville, Eric Liebendorfer, Crescent’s managing director for Georgia, said the company will “continue to prioritize vigorous growth in the region” moving forward.

Metro’s fourth RENDER project a go next to TV, film studios

Developer interest in Atlanta’s western suburbs near several regional attractions continues.
Charlotte-based, mixed-use developer Crescent Communities has closed on land about 20 miles west of downtown to build its fourth RENDER-branded project in the metro.
RENDER Douglasville is slated to take shape at 2553 Fairburn Road as part of The Foxfield Company’s 59-acre The Trails development, which includes the new 500,000-square-foot Great Point Studios film complex anchored by Lionsgate.
Other points of interest in the area include Sweetwater Creek State Park, Six Flags Over Georgia, and downtown Douglasville. The city is the quickly growing county seat and largest city in Douglas County, counting an estimated population of 40,500—or twice what it was in the year 2000.
