RangeWater Breaks Ground on 274-Unit Ellory House at Lulah Hills Mixed-Use Development in Atlanta

RangeWater Real Estate and Nippon Steel Kowa Real Estate Co. have broken ground on Ellory House, a 274-apartment community with 39,000 square feet of integrated retail. The project is being constructed at the center of Lulah Hills, EDENS' 73-acre mixed-use redevelopment of the former North DeKalb Mall in Atlanta.

According to the announcement, Ellory House will be located along Lulah Hills' main street, Lulah Avenue, and across from Lemon Park, the development's largest green space. The positioning places residents near the retail, dining and gathering spaces planned for the destination.

"We are eager to bring this building to life within Lulah Hills, one of the Atlanta region's most exciting developments. Ellory House and Lulah Hills will set the standard for walkable, high-quality infill development in this market," said Brian Oates, Executive Managing Director of Development at RangeWater.

Herbert Ames, Managing Director at EDENS and Southeast regional lead, added, "Our partnership with RangeWater and NSKRE marks an important milestone in the redevelopment of Lulah Hills, introducing an additional high-quality residential offering and bringing us closer to realizing our vision for a vibrant and connected mixed-use community."

The project is part of Lulah Hills' broader development plan, which includes 320,000 square feet of grocery-anchored retail with for-sale and rental housing oriented around a walkable Main Street. EDENS is constructing a mix of local and regional restaurants and businesses, a Publix, and national retail brands as part of the retail component.

The development is positioned within Atlanta's established "Eds and Meds" corridor, anchored by major educational, medical and research institutions including Emory University, Emory University Hospital, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Emory Decatur Hospital, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Veterans Affairs Hospital.

This marks RangeWater's first development deal with NSKRE and the 31st in the Atlanta market. The project is co-sponsored by EDENS.
