Beazer Homes, one of the nation’s largest homebuilders, is moving forward with a major new development north of downtown Marietta. The project, called GreenHouse, will consist of 591 homes and marks Beazer’s biggest land acquisition in the metro Atlanta area. A groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for Wednesday at the 174-acre site, which is located just east of the I-75 and I-575 split, near Barrett Parkway and the Town Center at Cobb shopping mall.
The GreenHouse development will feature a variety of housing options, including townhomes, ranch-style homes, and two-story homes, all of which will be certified as Zero Energy Ready Homes by the U.S. Department of Energy. This certification means the homes will exceed local construction and energy standards, making them more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.
The development will also offer several amenities designed to create a tranquil, nature-focused environment. Plans include miles of nature trails, parks (such as “Poets Corner”), and gardens, aiming to provide a relaxed atmosphere for residents. Additionally, the project will preserve a lake and cemetery that currently border the property.
Beazer acquired the land in May 2024 and is planning to begin selling the first homes in GreenHouse by fall 2025. The company currently has 12 other active communities in the metro Atlanta area, including developments in Powder Springs, Kennesaw, Cumming, Atlanta, and Decatur.
This new project is a significant step for Beazer, reflecting both its growth in the region and its commitment to sustainable, energy-efficient homebuilding.
