🚨 Big News for Metro Atlanta Development 🚨

Henry County is about to make history. The Henry County Board of Commissioners has officially approved The Grove, a massive 6,000-home master-planned community that, once complete, will be one of the largest developments ever built in the Atlanta area.

📍 Location: The Grove will be set on 1,278 acres along US 19/41, beside J.W. Smith Reservoir between Hampton and Lovejoy — just 22 miles south of Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

🏡 Community Vision:
If fully built out, The Grove will bring:

  • 6,160 residences (single-family homes, townhomes, apartments, and active-adult living)

  • 2 million sq. ft. of commercial space

  • 100,000 sq. ft. of retail space

  • 180 hotel rooms

  • 150 acres of greenspace

  • 35 pocket parks

  • 8 miles of trails

  • 6 amenity areas

🌿 Why It Matters:
This decades-long project is designed to balance residential living, retail, and green spaces to create a self-sustaining, connected community. According to Patrick Brooks, VP of Geosam Capital, the private firm behind the project:

“The Grove will shape Henry County’s future for generations. Our phased approach ensures thoughtful, sustainable growth that benefits both current and future residents.”

🚧 Phase One:
The first stage of development will include major infrastructure upgrades such as road improvements, water and wastewater systems, and the launch of initial residential construction.

Breakdown of Housing & Commercial Plans:

  • 2,460 single-family homes

  • 554 townhouses

  • 386 active-adult residences

  • 2,760 apartments

  • 1,320,000 sq. ft. of mixed-use commercial space

  • 670,000 sq. ft. of retail/commercial space

  • 100,000 sq. ft. of village retail

  • 180 hotel rooms

This project could transform the south side of Atlanta, creating new opportunities for housing, business, and recreation.
