Sizable eastside build is full speed ahead with construction Josh Green Fri, 06/21/2024 - 15:51 A sizable mixed-use development is barreling forward with construction near one of Atlanta’s most storied golf courses.
Roughly two blocks south of East Lake Golf Club’s Hole 4, Atlanta developer Perennial Properties is transforming what had long been a large grassy field into hundreds of residences and other uses, all to be set around a new public greenspace in unincorporated DeKalb County.
The three parcels in question—situated along 2nd and Alexander avenues, across the street from Donald Trimble Mortuary—are collectively known as the Bag Factory Site. The land, spanning about 11.7 acres, had been empty for decades, according to developers.

Jay McGinnity, Perennial’s vice president, tells Urbanize Atlanta the project broke ground in January and is adhering to schedule so far. Design details are being finalized, and fresh renderings will be available soon, McGinnity said.
Among other facets, plans at the 1845 2nd Ave. site call for 328 units total—with 43 of those being rental townhouses. Barring any snags with plan approvals and other paperwork, McGinnity says the first units should deliver in roughly a year, with the full project completed by the end of 2025 or early 2026.
According to plans submitted in 2022, a public-accessible village green with a central pavilion would act as the heart of the community, spanning about 32,000 square feet; other facets would include roughly 5,000 square feet of retail space.
McGinnity noted that, as part of the development, Perennial will be constructing an eight-foot-wide walking path on the north side of their property to link 2nd Avenue with Fayetteville Road and the Publix Super Market at East Lake.

Around the corner on Glenwood Avenue, next to the Publix entrance, Perennial also developed a four-building, mixed-use project called Ella.
That venture, also designed by the Dynamik Design firm, includes 230 apartments and 10,000 square feet of retail, in addition to office space.
