One of Atlanta’s most seasoned urban developers is continuing its push into growing metro suburbs, this time south of the city.
Portman officials today unveiled plans for a multifaceted project called Meadow Glen Village in the south Fulton County city of Fairburn, roughly a dozen miles south of Atlanta’s airport or 20 miles from downtown.
Portman—a national developer with recent, high-profile intown projects that include Midtown’s Spring Quarter, Junction Krog Street, and the planned remake of Amsterdam Walk—has closed on the land for the Fairburn project and expects to break ground this month.
The mid-rise portion of Meadow Glen Village calls for 332 units total, spread across nine multifamily buildings with surface parking.

The village aspect will come via two low-rise retail buildings, each 6,000 square feet, designed to create “a dynamic and well-amenitized living experience” with service retailers and multiple food-and-beverage concepts, per Portman officials. That portion will flank a town green for hosting community events and public leisure.
The site is located at Senoia Road and Meadow Glen Parkway, just south of Interstate 85, reps tell Urbanize Atlanta.

According to Portman officials, Fairburn was chosen as another pivot from urban development and OTP investment for its proximity to Atlanta and population growth over the past decade, translating to market demand for new, amenitized rentals. On the flipside of the metro, Portman is also planning to transform a dated office park near Avalon into a mixed-use hub.
“Historically, Portman has been more focused on infill, urban markets for residential projects,” Harvey Wadsworth, the company’s managing director for residential, said in an announcement today. “This closing represents our current strategy of quality suburban development, highlighting our team’s ability to react and adapt to market cycles.”
