The Georgia division of the Miami–based homebuilder has proposed Mountain Crest, a project with 572 single family homes and 124 townhouses west of Cumming along Chamblee Gap Road, according to a Development of Regional Impact filing posted this month with the state Department of Community Affairs.

The proposed $280 million project, to take place over multiple phases through 2022, includes a trail network to the Big Creek Greenway, according to the filing.
