ATLANTA, July 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- LMC, a leader
in apartment development and management, today announced the start
of construction of Gentry, a luxury mixed-use apartment community
in the Buckhead Village
neighborhood of Atlanta.
The 21-story high-rise community, which will feature 290
apartment homes and 6,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, is
being developed in conjunction with Hoar Construction. The
companies recently collaborated on The Morris, a luxury apartment
community in Nashville that opened
in 2017. First move-ins at Gentry are anticipated for mid-2020.
"We're excited to join the robust Buckhead market and get started on an
apartment community that will be situated in the center of so many
recreational activities," said Chris
Cassidy, division president of the Southeast for LMC. "With
the vast shopping and dining options within walking distance, this
will be a place where residents can ditch their cars for the
weekend and relax within the neighborhood. With the stellar
location, the remainder of the city will be at their fingertips, as
well."
Under construction at 3172 Roswell Road, Gentry is the
redevelopment of a one-acre surface parking lot that will add
20-foot wide tree-lined sidewalks and street-level retail to an
emerging neighborhood. The site, which boasts a Walk Score of 91,
features prime access to attractions such as The Buckhead Theater,
The Shops at Buckhead, Whole
Foods, Trader Joe's and Atlanta History Center. Phipps Plaza and Lenox Mall, which offer various
additional local and national retailers, are each within two miles
of the community.
Gentry will provide near-direct access to several public transit
options and the key thoroughfares of the city. The Buckhead MARTA
station is 1.2 miles from the community and serves as the gateway
to the metropolitan area. Georgia State
Route 400? is situated one mile from the community and
Interstates 85 and 75 are within a short drive.
"We're thrilled to team with LMC on another development,
particularly one in such a vibrant locale," said Jason Bennett, division vice president for Hoar
Construction. "Our co-development in Midtown Nashville was a
resounding success, and we can confidently proclaim that Gentry
will feature the same high level of craftsmanship and attention to
detail."
Gentry will consist of studio, 1- , 2- and 3-bedroom apartment
homes and a select number of penthouse-level homes with hardwood
floors. Apartment interiors will contain high-end finishes,
wood-plank style flooring, custom cabinetry and private balconies.
Select homes will include kitchen islands and wine
fridges.
Community amenities will include an eighth-floor terrace with
grills and an outdoor movie theater, and a 21st-floor
amenity level. The latter will include a private dining room and
catering kitchen, lounge, pool table, swimming pool, indoor/outdoor
bar, grills, cabanas and a club-quality fitness center with
indoor/outdoor yoga. Residents will also have access to bike
storage, electric-vehicle charging stations and work-from-home
spaces.
Gentry is LMC's second apartment community under development in
the Atlanta area. Vireo is
projected to open in 2019 in Midtown and is also being developed in
conjunction with Hoar Construction.
