ATLANTA, GA - Woodfield Development, one of the nation’s top 20 developers of Class A multifamily communities, today announced plans for a new 320-unit residential community within Ashford Green in Brookhaven, Georgia, following City approval of the rezoning necessary to advance the project.
Located on approximately five acres at 4170 Ashford Dunwoody Road NE, the planned multifamily development will become part of the broader Ashford Green mixed-use campus, which includes office, hotel and retail uses. The rezoning allows the site, previously designated for office use, to accommodate the planned residential community.
“Ashford Green presents a compelling opportunity to introduce new housing in one of metro Atlanta’s most established employment centers,” said Patrick Kassin, senior vice president and regional development partner at Woodfield Development. “The Central Perimeter continues to evolve beyond its traditional office base, with significant investment in housing, retail, healthcare and public infrastructure. We believe Ashford Green is well positioned to contribute to that evolution by adding a high-quality residential component within an existing mixed-use setting.”
Current plans call for 320 apartment residences in a five-story building, with a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans. The community is expected to include a range of resident amenities, including a resort-style pool, clubhouse, and coworking areas.
The residential community will be integrated into the larger Ashford Green campus, where plans call for a retail village alongside existing office and hotel uses. The conceptual master plan calls for approximately 16,000 square feet of retail space, along with the renovation of an existing office building totaling approximately 268,000 square feet.
Vela Companies, the current owner of Ashford Green, is leading the broader repositioning of the campus, including a significant investment in the existing 268,000-square-foot office building and plans for approximately 16,000 square feet of new food-and-beverage retail. The family-owned real estate investment and development firm specializes in value-add, redevelopment and adaptive reuse opportunities across multiple asset classes.
Ashford Green is in Brookhaven’s Central Perimeter, one of the Southeast’s largest business districts, with approximately 29 million square feet of office space. Nearby major employers include State Farm, Cox Enterprises, Mercedes-Benz USA, Inspire Brands and Insight Global. The site offers immediate access to I-285 and GA-400, is close to MARTA rail service, and provides convenient connections to the area’s corporate, healthcare and retail destinations.
Woodfield Development brings more than two decades of experience developing large-scale multifamily and mixed-use communities across the Southeast and is ranked among the nation’s top 20 multifamily developers. In Georgia, the Charleston-based firm has developed or has underway seven communities totaling 2,181 residences, representing more than $602 million in development. Ashford Green builds upon Woodfield’s growing metro Atlanta portfolio and its focus on mixed-use and master-planned environments that integrate housing with retail, recreation and community amenities.
Woodfield Development expects to acquire the multifamily development site in the second quarter of 2027, with construction anticipated to begin shortly thereafter. The development team currently includes Dwell Design Studio as the architect, PEC as the civil engineer, and Spacecraft as the landscape architect
