An influx of new housing near Central Perimeter MARTA stations shows few signs of slowing down, with well over 1,000 units recently delivered or now in the pipeline.  

National developer High Street Residential has officially broken ground on a Brookhaven mid-rise project called Residences at Perimeter Summit, a 350-unit apartment venture with two signed restaurant concepts in the mix nearby. 

The seven-story building will rise at 1251 Perimeter Summit Parkway, just south of Perimeter Mall within the Interstate 285 loop. In an announcement today, HSR officials called Brookhaven “one of the most desirable suburbs in Georgia.”

Last year HSR, a subsidiary of Trammell Crow Company, closed on 4 acres of land to build the Residences—what project leaders have called a transit-oriented development within walking distance of two MARTA hubs served by rail. 

By foot, MARTA’s Medical Center station is roughly a mile away, and Dunwoody station about 1.2 miles.

As designed by the Cooper Carry architecture firm, the Residences project will include studios to three-bedroom apartments with around 900 square feet on average. Plans call for five floors of residential over two parking levels, with a 475-space garage.

Amenities are set to include three courtyards, a resort-style pool and dog park, a clubroom, fitness center, coworking space, golf simulator, pet spa, sauna, and an elevated resident lounge with a kitchen for entertaining and views of the Perimeter skyline, according to High Street officials.

The apartments, all classified as luxury, will be part of the larger Perimeter Summit district, a 1.7-million-square-foot campus purchased by Spear Street Capital in 2022 with buildings standing 21, 18, and 16 stories. Access to existing walking trails around that complex will be another perk of the apartments, per HSR officials. 

The Residences are scheduled to deliver by late 2026, with New South Construction onboard to build it. 

“Brookhaven, with its historic charm and proximity to one of the liveliest office markets in the country, provides a premier living experience,” Scott Kirchhoff, a principal with HSR’s Atlanta office, noted in today’s groundbreaking announcement.

Beyond the apartments, Perimeter Summit includes office and retail space spread across four buildings total, plus a condo building and 182-room hotel.

According to HSR, Spear Street has attracted “multiple high-profile headquarters relocations and innovation hubs” to the revived Perimeter Summit complex since acquiring it. The company has also partnered with STHRN Hospitality to bring two new restaurants to the development, The Little Gem and Pizza Stop. Both are set to open this year, per HSR.  

Elsewhere in Atlanta, HSR recently developed the multifamily component of Georgia Tech’s 18-acre Science Square project on the Westside, The Grace Residences

In other Central Perimeter residential news, GID Development Group finished the first two apartment buildings in its massive High Street venture last year. Those include 598 apartments within a short walk of MARTA’s Dunwoody station. 

Also in Brookhaven, a nearby AMLI-branded, mixed-use project has started delivering another 630 rentals in four buildings. Walkability to MARTA stations is also flaunted as a perk of that project. 

A year ago, plans for another 300 multifamily residences were also floated for the last remaining parcel next to insurance giant State Farm's towering Central Perimeter campus.
