The 21-story high-rise community, which will feature 290 apartment homes and 6,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, is being developed in conjunction with Hoar Construction. The companies recently collaborated on The Morris, a luxury apartment community in Nashville that opened in 2017. First move-ins at Gentry are anticipated for mid-2020. 

“We’re excited to join the robust Buckhead market and get started on an apartment community that will be situated in the center of so many recreational activities,” said Chris Cassidy, division president of the Southeast for LMC. “With the vast shopping and dining options within walking distance, this will be a place where residents can ditch their cars for the weekend and relax within the neighborhood.

“We’re thrilled to team with LMC on another development, particularly one in such a vibrant locale,” said Jason Bennett, division vice president for Hoar Construction. “Our co-development in Midtown Nashville was a resounding success, and we can confidently proclaim that Gentry will feature the same high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail.”

Gentry will consist of studio, 1- , 2- and 3-bedroom apartment homes and a select number of penthouse-level homes with hardwood floors. Apartment interiors will contain high-end finishes, wood-plank style flooring, custom cabinetry and private balconies. Select homes will include kitchen islands and wine fridges.
