A key component of Chamblee’s push for more density (and people) in its open-container downtown area is ready for its closeup, adding hundreds of more rentals to an ITP city witnessing a surge in new housing.
Lumen Chamblee has delivered 318 apartments, all described as luxury-grade, as another step toward moving Chamblee beyond its industrial, railroad-town past toward a more cohesively urban, people-focused future.

Tucked off Chamblee’s retail and restaurant row on Peachtree Road—across the street from The Bristol, a newer pocket of modern townhomes—Lumen Chamblee saw its first move-ins last fall.
Rents for studios with 589 square feet begin at $1,547. On the larger end, three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments with 1,358 square feet start at $3,066.
Current discounts at the complex include a month free rent on studios to two-bedroom units, or $1,000 off three-bedroom options with at least 13-month leases.
According to terra alma marketing materials, all of Lumen Chamblee’s street-level retail space remains available. It’s divided into two suites with outdoor patio areas: one meant for a restaurant with 3,033 square feet, the other more suited for coffee or dessert shops with 1,425 square feet.
