The project—Hines' first in the city—was designed by The Preston Partnership and includes studios and one- and two-bedroom units. Among the amenities are a swimming pool, fitness center, Internet café, and sports lounge. The site is close to the Brookhaven MARTA station on Peachtree Road.
Reflecting the brisk market for multifamily construction, Hines also has projects in development in St. Petersburg, Fla.; Pasadena, Calif.; Minneapolis; Cambridge, Mass.; Chicago; Denver; Houston; Miami; Phoenix; and Rockville, Md.
