Atlanta Land Trust is building 36 two- and three-bedroom townhomes, of which 29 will be affordable in perpetuity. 

The homebuilder closed ahead of schedule on a three-year phased purchase agreement with land developer Walton Global due to high demand. 

The county stood head and shoulders above its neighbors in terms of Atlanta-area housing starts, closings and lot deliveries, with Cherokee County coming in a distant second in all three metrics.    

A joint-venture partnership is developing the 239-unit build-to-rent Avondale East community in Stone Mountain.

The pace of new single-family home sales, meanwhile, fell 6.1% from September to 598,000. 

The development will be called Sugarloaf Landing and feature 114 build-to-rent townhomes. 

The buildings are the first ground-up components of the $5 billion sports-and-entertainment district taking shape over the Gulch. 

The number of homes under construction rose during the month, as homebuilders continued to work through a large backlog of homes. 

The future communities will deliver 56 new single-family homes and townhomes to Mableton and Marietta. 

Crestwind Township will include 260 build-to-rent townhomes and 129 single-family homes for sale. 

The move comes as the company prepares to begin construction of the 37-home second phase of the development, Sweetwater Springs. 

The mixed-use tower will bring 460 apartments and 97,500 square feet of commercial space to Midtown when it opens in late 2024. 

The city’s housing authority chose a joint venture of developers to redevelop the long-vacant site of the former public housing project. 

The Oak Grove Vista project will be developed on 33 recently acquired acres on Jonesboro Road. 

The awards from the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association cover all aspects of the building process, from master-planned community to best online ad. 

Mortgage rates continued to weigh on homebuyers in September, following a brief uptick in new-home sales in August.
