The community will also feature a basketball court, children's play area, community gathering spaces, grilling areas, coworking focus suites, billiards and shuffleboard.
The development is near employment hubs in northwest Atlanta, including the Westside Logistics and E-Commerce Industrial Corridor, which supports more than 28,000 jobs, as well as Wellstar Paulding Medical Center and Wellstar Cobb Medical Center.
