Dozens of townhomes break ground near Avondale Estates, Decatur

East of Atlanta, a sizable townhome project is officially moving forward that hopes to capitalize on proximity to three MARTA stations, job centers, and buzzy, historic downtown districts. 

REV3 at Avondale East, a 46-unit build-to-rent townhome venture, has recently broken ground in unincorporated Decatur, with expectations of beginning vertical construction in early 2026.  

It marks the latest Georgia project by Alpharetta-based Trilogy Investment Company, a residential development and investment firm that’s also developing The Isling at Savannah Harbor on the coast, Uptown Rowe in downtown Alpharetta, and ventures in other states. 

The team in Decatur also includes Pinnacle Partners, an opportunity zone fund manager. 

REV3 at Avondale East calls for rows of three-level BRT townhouses on Redan Road near Avondale States, near Memorial Drive’s intersection with the Interstate 285 loop. We’ve asked project officials for a specific site address and will update this story should that come. [UPDATE: 10:17 a.m., Sept. 25: The site's address is 3694 Redan Road,
Decatur, GA 30032.]

According to a project description, the townhomes will also be within minutes of shopping and dining options in downtown Decatur and Stone Mountain, with MARTA hubs such as Kensington station and Indian Creek station nearby. 

Plans call for each townhouse to include three bedrooms and two and ½ bathrooms above garages. Interiors will feature smart home tech, open layouts, LVP flooring (that’s luxury vinyl plank), and stainless-steel appliances. 

Communal amenities onsite call for walking trails around a pond, a pocket park, and a dog park for residents. 

The REV3 project marks the latest example in Trilogy and Pinnacle’s strategy to inject “capital across high-growth Sun Belt markets to address housing demand and create long-term value for residents and investors alike,” according to a project announcement. REV3 Homes is on board as builder. 

“Families and professionals are looking for the space and conveniences of a home with the flexibility of renting, and this community is designed to provide just that,” Jason Joseph, Trilogy’s CEO and Managing Partner, said in a project announcement. “Decatur’s strong growth and vibrant character make it an ideal place to bring this concept to life.”

“Decatur is an ideal market for our fund,” added Leo Backer, Pinnacle cofounder and managing partner, citing “strong job growth, rising housing demand, and convenient access to employers and transit.” 

Developers expect REV3 at Avondale East leasing to begin in June next year, when the first BTR townhomes are scheduled to deliver.
