After decades of delays and modifications to its design, Perimeter’s mixed-use district High Street has officially welcomed its first wave of residents into its multifamily units.  

According to a release from the developers, more than 100 leases have been signed and at least 50 residents have moved into the apartments since opening in late January.  

The apartments at High Street total 598 units across two buildings – Windsor Brompton and Windsor Avery. Prices range from $1,500 a month for a 500-square-foot studio apartment to about $3,000 for an 1,100-square-foot, two-bedroom unit, according to the High Street website. 

“We’re thrilled to welcome our residents to High Street and everything this premier mixed-use destination has to offer,” James Linsley, President of GID Development Group, said. “Residents will have an incredible mix of chef-driven restaurants, engaging retailers and experiential concepts coming straight to their doorstep, along with beautiful private amenities.” 

High Street’s apartments offer 16 different floor plans. According to the release, residents can choose their unit and price point based on balcony size and orientation, cabinetry colors, work-from-home desks, standalone tubs and other amenities. 

The complex also includes a fitness and yoga studio, pool and sundeck, catering kitchen and private dining room, coworking spaces, an outdoor dog run and dog wash, outdoor gaming lawn, a bike lounge and repair station and more.  

Retail outlets will be located on the ground floor of the building, with incoming tenants such Puttshack, Jaguar Bolera, Nando’s PERi-PERi, Velvet Taco, Allen Edmonds, Skin Spirit, The Hampton Social, Agave Bandido, Cuddlefish, Ben & Jerry’s and Sugar Coat. 

The residences are part of High Street’s $2 billion, 36-acre mixed-use and campus located at the intersection of Perimeter Center Parkway and Hammond Drive. The first phase features 150,000 square feet of retail, 598 apartments and 310,000 square feet of office, including 90,000 square feet of new Class A office.  

The High Street development has been on paper since 2007. That’s when DeKalb County approved rezoning for the massive mixed-use development that includes 1,500 apartments and 1,500 condominiums, 400,000 square feet of new office, 400,000 square feet of retail and 400 hotel rooms. After Dunwoody became a city, the plan underwent a series of changes in the scope of the project.   

Developer GID broke ground at the site in 2021. When completed, the campus will span 10 blocks and contain 672,000 square feet of office space, 400,000 square feet of retail, 3,000 residential units and a 400-key hotel.
