The new infill development is slated for a 1.57- acre site on Atlanta’s Westside, which has seen a surge of interest since the opening of the WestSide Reservoir Park and plans for a large Microsoft corporate center.

While multifamily starts surged 13.7% compared to November, the pace of new single-family housing construction slid 2.3%, according to the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The community is located on the corner of Eastland Road and Lake Drive and abuts Glen Emerald Park, which includes 28 mostly wooded acres surrounding a lake.

Work on the 19-acre development is scheduled to begin later this month and will soon be followed by the construction of other suburban, Sunbelt communities.
