CUMMING, GA – Leading national multifamily real estate developer Wood Partners announced the groundbreaking of its latest high-end residential community, Alta North, less than an hour from downtown Atlanta in Cumming, Georgia. The new community will be developed as a joint venture with CP Capital US, a highly disciplined U.S. real estate manager specializing in multifamily investments. It is scheduled to open in late 2023 with pre-leasing officially starting in Fall 2023.
Situated at the intersection of GA 400 and Settingdown Circle in Forsyth County, Alta North will provide future residents with an array of nearby dining and retail options, as well as access to Atlanta’s city center less than an hour away. The forthcoming community will be part of a larger plotted development, which will bring more than 15,000 sq. ft. of commercial space and a new public road connecting the adjacent residential development to the north to Settingdown Circle.
“Atlanta has been one of the country’s best performing rental markets since the onset of the pandemic, due to the region’s strong economic growth and in-migration,” said Kristi Nootens, Vice President of Investments at CP Capital US. “We are excited to continue our long-standing partnership with Wood Partners to deliver a top-tier multifamily project in the booming market of Forsyth County.”
Once complete, Alta North will feature 310 one- and two-bedroom apartment homes across a combination of 3-tale and 3/4 split buildings. Boasting luxurious, modern finishes, each of Alta North’s apartment homes will come outfitted with rich wood-style plank flooring, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances including microwave hoods, undermounted single bowl sinks, and designer tile backsplashes to offer residents a relaxing and welcoming place to call home. Additional high-end features include full-sized in-home washer and dryers and gorgeous granite countertops in both the kitchen and bathrooms.
Outside of their homes, residents will be able to take advantage of Alta North’s best-in-class community amenities, including a resort-style swimming pool with a tanning ledge, multiple grilling stations and fire pits throughout the property, and an on-site pet park and pet spa. Within the community clubhouse, residents will also have access to a 24/7 state-of-the-art fitness center, lounge and social gathering areas, and rentable office spaces for co-working.
“Wood Partners is thrilled to continue its expansion within the Metro Atlanta market with the groundbreaking of our newest community—Alta North,” said Bennett Sands, Managing Director. “Alta North presents a prime opportunity for Wood Partners to capitalize on the on-going growth across Georgia, and we look forward to continuing to play a positive role in the area’s development by delivering Wood Partners’ signature mix of comfort and luxury to future residents.”
