Crescent Communities Breaks Ground for $47 Million Crescent Howell Mill

Crescent Communities broke ground, November 19, on Crescent Howell Mill, a $47 million, 256-unit luxury apartment community between Atlanta’s Buckhead and Midtown districts that will help create a new residence and lifestyle destination. Crescent Howell Mill is expected to open spring 2015 and will be managed by Greystar, a national property management group with offices in Atlanta. 

“Today’s groundbreaking ceremony for Crescent Howell Mill marks the beginning of a new era for Atlanta’s Howell Mill Road area,” said Jay Curran, vice president of Crescent’s multifamily group. 

This community marks Crescent’s second multifamily development in Atlanta; Crescent Terminus, the first apartment-living option in the Terminus master development of nearby Buckhead, will open March 2014. Crescent has been an active developer in the metro area for more than two decades. 

“The Howell Mill site has a prime location between two of Atlanta’s top business and cultural districts. With a unique restaurant and retail landscape of its own, this area will become a place that gives people an exceptional lifestyle experience,” Curran said.

Crescent Howell Mill will be built on 2.2 acres adjacent to future restaurant and retail development on Howell Mill Road. Located at the intersection of Howell Mill Road NW and Collier Road near Interstate 75, residents will have a direct drive to midtown and downtown and a quick walk to retail, entertainment and dining options.

The community will be part of an eight-acre mixed-use site offering a variety of conveniences to residents. The first phase, developed by the land seller, Healey Weatherholtz Properties, will include 11,000 square feet of stand-alone retail and restaurant space.

According to a written statement from Crescent Communities, "the  five-story building will feature a best-in-class amenity package including an open lawn courtyard, state-of-the-art athletic club, saltwater resort-style pool with sun deck, outdoor kitchen with grilling stations, fire pit social deck and dog walk park." 

The units’ interiors will feature details including granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and designer light fixtures, while on the exterior, the building architecture will resemble an old textile mill.
