$300M Doraville Project on Track
$300M Doraville Project on Track
Initial phases of the proposed Lotus Grove district are on pace to see vertical construction in summer 2025, with an expected total cost north of $300 million, according to Urbanize Atlanta. Atlanta-based Insignia is developing low-rise retail and restaurants and a 12-story multifamily tower in Doraville that will include 456 apartment units and amenity options. Resia is the helming the apartment project.
The project is slated for 5597 Buford Highway just outside Interstate 285 Loop. The site was once populated by a Kmart, which has since been demolished.
Lotus Grove’s retail and residential components are expected to be up and going by sometime in 2027.
Lotus Grove will eventually see two 12-story residential towers (with 780 units total) as part of roughly 1 million square feet of new construction. Other facets would include a national hotel and a public park designed to be activated for events.

Plans are materializing for a new trail loop around an eastside MARTA station designed to keep people on foot and bikes safer where infrastructure is currently lacking in a quickly developing area.
Led by the Georgia Department of Transportation, a state agency not traditionally known for prioritizing non-vehicle infrastructure, the trail project calls for modifying four sections of roadway corridors that border MARTA’s Kensington station in unincorporated DeKalb County.
The public comment period for the 1.4-mile trail project concludes this week.
According to the DeKalb County Public Works Transportation Division, GDOT’s goal for what’s formally called Kensington MARTA Station Trail—Phase I is to beef up pedestrian and bicycle connectivity near a relatively high density of residential, office, and county government facilities.
Project leaders describe sidewalk conditions near the station as “sporadic” today—and bike infrastructure as nonexistent—which encourages uncontrolled pedestrian crossings.
“The sidewalks are intermittent, narrow, and in disrepair,” notes a project description. “Worn paths along the side of the road indicate there is a pedestrian demand for improved facilities.”

Kensington is the second-to-last station on MARTA’s eastbound route before final stop Indian Creek station. It’s located just west of Memorial Drive, inside the Interstate 285 loop, east of Avondale Estates and downtown Decatur.
On Memorial Drive, plans call for building a 10-foot-wide shared pathway that would replace existing sidewalks on the northwest side of the road.
The scope also calls for reducing two other sections of roadways around the station from four to two lanes and implementing shared paths, also 10 feet wide.
How two roadway sections currently with four lanes each would be modified. GDOT/DeKalb County Public Works Transportation Division
The phase-one trail loop could have a built-in user base, as hundreds of new housing options come online in the immediate area.
A year ago, MARTA officially broke ground on transit-oriented development for 35 acres of property around the train station. That’s set to include 100 percent affordable senior and workforce housing, a new Housing Authority of DeKalb County headquarters, and other community amenities.
Elsewhere, the mixed-use Phoenix Station project has taken shape across the street from MARTA’s Kensington hub.
Meanwhile, across Memorial Drive, a five-building residential project by developer Resia has delivered nearly 500 units. That’s now called Resia Willows.

Plans in coming years call for Kensington to become a regional transportation center and mixed-use neighborhood gathering place that increases ridership and revenue, in the vein of the Edgewood/Candler Park station, according to a Kensington Station Master Plan completed by MARTA and DeKalb County.
The public is encouraged to submit input on the Kensington trail proposal (and any requests for specific features) by filling out this comment card and emailing it to DeKalb County officials here: pgkeeter@dekalbcountyga.gov
The period for accepting public comments ends Thursday.

Stream Eyeing 1.3M-SF Atlanta-Area Data Center
Stream Eyeing 1.3M-SF Atlanta-Area Data Center
Steam Data Center has applied for a data center project near Douglasville with a Georgia planning agency. The development would consist of nine buildings, 150,000 square feet a piece, making up 1.3 million square feet under roof. The company is looking at land off Polk Road, about 4 miles west of Douglasville. The town is about a half-hour drive west of Atlanta.
The projects are huge power users and the Atlanta Business Chronicle reports Georgia Power estimates data centers will use 83% of the utility’s power generation in the next 12 years.
Google has already targeted Douglas County, investing more than $1.2 billion in the region.
Stream Data Centers, which is an affiliate of Stream Realty Partners, has projects in markets such as Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Phoenix and San Antonio. A site in West Atlanta that would span 246 acres and could be delivered in two years.
