ATLANTA-With most roads, utilities and water hookups already in place, three developers plan a mix of office, retail, multifamily and single-family product in Douglasville, GA, a suburb of about 20,000 residents five miles west of Downtown.

Grubb & Ellis of Northbrook, IL plans to market an estimated 40,000-sf class A office building and an undetermined amount of retail on a 70-acre tract owned by Robert Barsk at Blairs Bridge Road and Bob Arnold Boulevard.

LandSouth of Macon, GA plans to break ground in September on Preston Landing, a 240-unit apartment venture on 30 acres near Sweetwater Creek, an area with little existing multifamily product.
