An Atlanta-area developer is looking to build hundreds of homes in south Fulton County.

A local developer is looking to build hundreds of homes as part of a mixed-use development south of Atlanta.

Roswell-based Paran Homes has plans to erect housing and commercial elements on approximately 82 acres in south Fulton County, according to a development of regional impact filing submitted to the state on March 10. 

PLG LLC is listed as the project’s developer. The limited liability company is linked to Paran Homes’ Roswell office address, per Georgia state business records.

The development is slated to feature 225 townhomes and 61 single-family homes once completed. Retail and “institutional” space are also planned for the project, according to the DRI filing.

The development would rise on two tracts of land located at 6275 and 6285 Short Road in Fairburn, about 30 miles south of Downtown Atlanta. These tracts fall within ZIP code 30213, which includes much of Fairburn and the neighboring city of South Fulton to the north.

Both suburbs have witnessed a robust population uptick in the past two decades, as more residents of Atlanta proper choose to migrate south in search of more space, a small-town atmosphere and cheaper home prices.

Fairburn is projected to welcome another 7,000 new residents in the next 20 years, Atlanta Business Chronicle previously reported. In response, a rising number of for-sale and rental housing developers have entered the market in recent years to satisfy this growing demand.

A spokesperson for Paran Homes could not be reached for comment.

The project is estimated to wrap by the year 2030, per the DRI filing.

Founded in 2010, Paran Homes develops for-sale communities for families and active adults in metro Atlanta and Nashville, Tennessee.

The homebuilder is also partnering with its Atlanta-based affiliate, Georgia Capital, to form Laseter Development Group, a real estate company specializing in build-to-rent development across the Southeast. Real estate investors backed by JPMorgan Asset Management are also involved with the venture.
