Company Eyes Lithonia for 1M-SF Mixed-Use Project

LITHONIA, GA-With Atlanta’s projected population and job creation increasing quarterly, everybody, it seems, is trying to get into the development game. Lafarge Aggregates Southeast Inc. is the newest player.

Best known in the area for its quarry and building supplies, Lafarge filed preliminary conceptual plans to city planners in this suburb for a one-million-sf mixed-use venture that would include a business park, neighborhood retail center, multifamily units and single-family residences. The site is about eight miles east of Downtown Atlanta.

Because of the proposed size of the project, the Atlanta Regional Commission and the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority will have to review development plans before the project moves forward to local council voting, brokers familiar with the venture tell GlobeSt.com.
