Images: Greystar 'suburban luxury line' project readies for debut

For the largest apartment operator in the U.S., bullishness for Atlanta’s western suburbs continues.

Officials with Charleston-based Greystar send word that Marlowe Brookwood, an example of the company’s “suburban luxury line,” has begun pre-leasing with expectations of opening its five buildings later this fall in Austell.

The 3753 Austell Road project in southwest Cobb County replaces a dated, Burlington-anchored shopping center and large surface parking lot where Austell Road meets Brookwood Drive.

Another new Greystar project with both townhomes and apartments, Elan Brookwood, is situated next door.  

Described as an upscale community with top-flight amenities for a suburban setting, Marlowe Brookwood is bringing 340 apartments, ranging from one to three-bedroom floorplans, about 20 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta, or 15 miles due west of Buckhead

Perks include proximity to The Battery Atlanta, downtown Marietta, Kennesaw Mountain, and the Silver Comet Trail (located about a mile south of the apartments), according to project leaders.

Greystar officials tell Urbanize Atlanta rents start at $1,625 monthly for apartments ranging from 770 square feet (larger than most entry-level units at new intown complexes) up 1,503 square feet. Rental rates for larger units haven't been specified.

Two of Marlowe Brookwood’s five buildings stand four stories with an elevator, while the other three were built in the garden-style, per project leaders. 

Amenities around the property include a gaming lawn with ping-pong and cornhole, a gated dog park and dog spa, a fireside lounge and clubroom with bar, an “elevated wine room,” bike storage, coworking spaces, conference rooms, a 24-hour fitness center, and a pool with sun ledge and chaise loungers.

Apartments, meanwhile, come with washers and dryers, quartz countertops, and kitchens described as gourmet.

Headquartered in Charleston, Greystar operates and manages more than $320 billion of real estate in about 250 markets across North America, the Asia-Pacific region, Europe, and South America. It manages or operates nearly 997,000 rentals in the U.S. alone.

The company’s recent projects of note in Atlanta include the upscale new Nomia tower in Midtown and another western OTP venture, Elan Sweetwater Creek, just south of Austell.
