Construction Update: Link Apartments℠ Lake Park

By Grubb Properties Development Team

June 4, 2025

Construction is progressing on a project designed to transform an aging suburban office park in Smyrna, GA, into a vibrant, mixed-use community anchored by a new multifamily development.

On what was once 9.7 acres of surface parking lot, the future Link Apartments℠ Lake Park, a five-story community featuring 277 units and 20,000 square feet of commercial space, is well underway toward completion. The first apartment units are expected to be open for leasing in the second quarter of 2026.

A new 410-space structured parking deck, which will be shared by occupants of the adjacent office property and the future Link Apartments℠ residents, has received its temporary certificate of occupancy for use while nearing final completion.

The project is a great example of Grubb Properties’ innovative strategy of repurposing aging suburban office parks into vibrant multi-use communities, as featured in The New York Times. Under this approach, Grubb Properties acquires well-located office parks near major employment centers, upgrades the office space, and introduces multifamily communities and green space to replace underutilized parking lots. Parking is provided in decks shared by both residents and office tenants.

Link Apartments℠ Lake Park is located just over one mile from Truist Park, the home of the Atlanta Braves, and The Battery, a dynamic entertainment, dining, and shopping district surrounding the ballpark.

To facilitate and encourage the use of alternative forms of transportation, the new community also will include the first section of a multi-use trail that is intended to eventually extend south to The Battery, and a Link Apartments Cycle Center that can hold up to 150 bikes to encourage the use of alternative transportation.

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

Link Apartments℠ communities are designed with a focus on creating thoughtful spaces and delivering a living experience that feels both welcoming and elevated. Residents can take pride in where they live, supported by amenities and services that make daily life more convenient and enjoyable. It’s all part of Grubb Properties’ commitment to building communities people love to call home.

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