Construction Begins on Link Apartments℠ Lake Park in Smyrna, GA

By Grubb Development Team

Construction has begun on a project designed to transform an aging suburban office park in Smyrna, GA, into a vibrant, mixed-use community with a new multifamily development.

Located at 2400 Lake Park Drive, the current property includes a 105,000 square-foot office building surrounded by 9.7 acres of parking and unused space. Once completed, the office building will be refurbished and much of the current parking lot will serve as the site of Link Apartments℠ Lake Park, a five-story community featuring 277 units of essential housing and 16,000 square feet of retail and active space. Parking will be accommodated in a new parking deck serving both the residents and commercial tenants in a shared-parking configuration.

Link Apartments℠ Lake Park will be located just over one mile from Truist Park, the new home of the Atlanta Braves, and The Battery, an expansive multi-use complex surrounding the ballpark featuring numerous restaurants, bars, shops, and hotels.

Plans for the new community also include the first section of a multi-use trail that is intended to eventually extend south to The Battery, as well as a Link Apartments Cycle Center that can hold 150 bikes to encourage the use of alternative transportation. 

The project is a great example of Grubb’s innovative strategy of repurposing aging suburban office parks into vibrant multi-use communities, as featured in The New York Times. Grubb will often purchase well-located office parks located near significant centers of employment, upgrade the office space, and build multifamily communities and green space on the surface parking lots. Parking is provided in parking decks serving both residents and office tenants through a shared-parking arrangement.

Amenities at Link Apartments℠ Lake Park will include a fitness area and yoga room, spacious clubhouse, cycle center and bike wash station, two outdoor courtyard, a modern swimming pool, a dog wash room, an outdoor grilling station, and a coworking space.

Grubb has two other Link Apartments communities in Atlanta, Link Apartments℠ Grant Park and Link Apartments℠ Canvas.
