Developer: Southwest of Atlanta, 600-home ‘Cascade’ is coming Josh Green Wed, 09/11/2024 - 15:17 Another large-scale example of developer optimism for new communities and open land on the southwest side of metro Atlanta has come to light.

Walton Global, an Arizona-based developer and land asset manager with a huge international portfolio, has acquired 327 acres near the southwestern tip of Fulton County to build hundreds of homes near job centers and other draws in the area, per company officials.

The project, dubbed “Cascade,” will eventually see roughly 600 residences built across multiple phases where Ridge Road meets Cascade Palmetto Highway (also known as Ga. Highway 154).

The site is located northeast of Serenbe, near Cochran Mill Park. The City of South Fulton’s Fire Station No. 8 stands adjacent to one corner of the site.

According to Walton Global officials, selling points for the location include less than 30-minute commutes to downtown Atlanta and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Proximity to West Fulton Commerce Park and other employment centers, plus shopping centers, transportation hubs, healthcare facilities, and education centers near Cascade Palmetto Highway are additional perks, per the company.

The real estate play aims to meet demand for housing in Atlanta’s suburbs and reflects Walton Global’s broader strategy to invest in places primed development and growth, according to project leaders.

“As we continue to expand our portfolio, we’re excited about the Cascade project as it embodies our commitment to quality and sustainability,” Shane Doherty, Walton Global’s senior vice president, said in a project announcement. “We’re dedicated to ensuring the project is seamlessly integrated into the local landscape and provides a boost to the housing market.”

Walton Global bills itself as a leading global real estate investment and land asset management firm with more than 90,000 acres in its portfolio across the U.S. and Canada, valued at more than $4.3 billion.

Elsewhere in metro Atlanta, the company has acquired massive tracts of land in recent years for a project called Pinehills Trail in Paulding County (later sold) and another 1,000-home development called Adamson near Peachtree City.
