Oct 2026 · Development

Canopy at Crooked Creek developers revise 19-acre Norcross office park redevelopment

Developers plan to redevelop a 19-acre obsolete office park known as The Station at Holcomb Bridge Road and Atlantic Boulevard with a 320-unit apartment building, 30 for-sale townhomes, about 50 condominiums and a retail and restaurant village. An earlier plan for 150 age-targeted apartments was dropped. The rezoning timeline is unknown and the first phase is at least two years away.

Why it matters: The proposal would convert aging office space near the Norcross and Peachtree Corners border into housing and walkable retail, adding for-sale and rental inventory in an established job corridor. The site is about 3 miles northeast of Fontainebleau Forest.

Chamblee City Center nears groundbreaking with 340 apartments and 29,000 sq ft of retail

Greystar and Vantage Realty Partners plan a 340-unit multifamily project with about 29,000 square feet of retail and nearly 3 acres of open space on a 7.2-acre site near Chamblee City Hall and the Chamblee MARTA station. Financial closing is expected in mid to late October 2026 with groundbreaking soon after, and the commercial portion targets fall 2027 delivery. The plan includes a 673-space garage and a 1.5-acre central lawn.

Why it matters: The project would add rental housing, restaurants and shops within walking distance of Chamblee MARTA rail, improving transit-linked retail access and housing supply in the area. The site is about 5 miles south of Fontainebleau Forest.

Dunwoody Planning Commission backs 33 townhomes at 4891 Ashford Dunwoody Road

The Dunwoody Planning Commission voted unanimously on Aug. 11 to recommend rezoning the 3.42-acre LifeSouth Blood Bank site from Office-Industrial to Perimeter Center (PC-3) for 33 three-bedroom rear-load townhomes. Estimated prices are about $500,000 for the 1,500 square foot plan and $650,000 for the 2,100 square foot plan. The same meeting advanced a 24-home subdivision on Roberts Drive and approved a 10,000 square foot indoor pickleball facility at the Marcus Jewish Community Center.

Why it matters: If approved, the project would add owner-occupied for-sale units to the Perimeter Center employment area, adding to nearby housing inventory within a short commute of offices and the MARTA station. The site is about 4 miles southwest of Fontainebleau Forest.

Before you decide

Buyer research checklist

Items worth confirming for 5161 Joel Lane, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.

  • Built in 1968 (58 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
  • The listing reports no HOA: confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to this parcel.
  • Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and confirm with your insurer whether flood insurance is required.
  • Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in DeKalb County; age of roof and any prior claims affect the premium.
  • Confirm square footage and room dimensions independently.
  • Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
  • Review permit history with the county.
  • Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $5,775/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; confirm exemptions with the county tax assessor.
  • School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.

How big is 5161 Joel Lane and when was it built?

Per the listing record, 5161 Joel Lane was built in 1968 and has 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.

What community is 5161 Joel Lane in?

How are property taxes on 5161 Joel Lane estimated?

The estimate on this page (about $5,775 per year) assumes the county reassesses at the list price. Georgia counties reassess after a sale and exemptions such as homestead must be applied for by the new owner, so the seller's current bill is not a guide. Confirm with the county tax assessor.
