Peachtree Corners broke ground Aug. 3 on a new luxury apartment community targeting the millennial-age market. This will be the first new apartment community of its kind to be built since the city incorporated five years ago. City officials clearly hope to entice young professionals to not only work, but also live outside the perimeter.

Echo Lakeside, situated on two adjoining lakes within Technology Park Atlanta, will include a clubhouse, fitness center, and a resort-style pool with a sun terrace as well as lake access, boat dock, a dog park and interconnected hiking and biking trails. Other amenities include attached garages, an Uber lobby and a cyber café.

The city hopes to attract the technology-based workforce in nearby surrounding office parks with the 295-unit development at 510 Guthridge Court, just off of Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and Reps Miller Road.

The one and two bedroom floor plans are expected to rent from $1,000 to $1,900. The developer, Brand Properties, expects to be open the property in summer of 2018.
