TOWN/Brookhaven is a state-of-the-art mixed-use development in Atlanta’s Brookhaven community, conveniently situated on Peachtree Road, north of Lenox Square Mall and Phipps Plaza and adjacent to historic Oglethorpe University.

The project will consist of approximately 600,000 square feet of big box retail, Jr. anchors, restaurants and boutiques, as well as more than 1,500 residential units. This remarkable center Sembler is creating is an innovative, intensely landscaped, pedestrian-friendly urban village, built for convenience and accessibility.

That’s exciting news that it is getting closer.  Hopefully it will eventually have a feel more like that of Atlantic Station than that of some of more suburban developments that have no real personality.
