Chamblee’s multifamily growth spurt is set to continue, but not in blocks around the ITP city’s historic core as with other recent projects. 

Officials with Charleston-based developer Greystar, considered the largest operator of apartments in the U.S., announced today they’ve closed on land to build two mid-rise apartment buildings just inside the Interstate 285 Perimeter in Chamblee. 

Greystar plans to start construction next month on an upscale multifamily venture called Marlowe Chamblee with roughly 300 units. 

Cleared of modest single-family homes, the Parsons Drive sites in question are tucked behind Porsche Atlanta Perimeter, where Peachtree Industrial Boulevard meets Interstate 285.

The Marlowe brand is considered Greystar’s “suburban luxury line.” Another example called Marlowe Brookwood has recently delivered in Austell, in Atlanta’s western suburbs.  

John Roberson, Greystar Development’s senior managing director, described Chamblee as a “fast-growing” region of the metro in an announcement, adding that Marlowe Chamblee’s proximity to Assembly Studios in nearby Doraville will be a selling point. 

Greystar’s project will be the multifamily component of a much larger, nearly 31-acre Toll Brothers mixed-use project called Chamblee Park. 

The Chamblee City Council voted in October 2021 to unanimously approve plans for Chamblee Park that called for more than 700 new townhomes, houses, and apartments, plus about 20,000 square feet of retail space. 

Toll Brothers is calling its portion of the development Silverton, a community of single-family houses and townhomes with prices starting from the low $600,000s.

According to Greystar officials, Marlowe Chamblee is scheduled to deliver in summer 2027.

Today the company operates nearly $315 billion in real estate investments across 250 global markets, including more than 1 million units/beds, per Greystar officials.
