A northeast Atlanta project billed as an “urban oasis” and the first facet of new village-style redevelopment near growing job centers has entered the home stretch of construction.
Atlanta-based developers Atlantic Residential and Stein Investment Group announced today that all retail space (10,700 square feet) has been filled at the three-building Lumen Briarcliff project, which is aiming to serve as a gateway to northeast Atlanta neighborhoods, Emory University, and a billion-dollar hospital expansion in North Druid Hills.

Expect a year-round, rooftop patio overlooking the community atop the freestanding restaurant.
