Brookhaven is one of metro Atlanta's newer cities, incorporated in 2012 in DeKalb County just inside the Perimeter along Peachtree Road and Buford Highway. It is dense, close-in, and almost entirely built out, which makes nearly all new development infill and redevelopment: townhome communities, small-lot residential, and mixed-use projects on parcels that already have something on them. That profile demands demolition, tight-site earthwork, retaining walls, and structural concrete — the scope 2070 Construction self-performs rather than splitting across subcontractors.
Brookhaven sits in DeKalb County, the same jurisdiction where 2070 delivered Villas at Redan in Decatur — a 46-unit build-to-rent townhome community for Trilogy Investment Company. That project ran through a site plan review permitting path rather than a final plat, which is the common path for the rental and attached-housing product that suits Brookhaven's density. The horizontal scope on a Brookhaven townhome or mixed-use site is the same full sequence: demolition and clearing, grading and structural fill, utilities, stormwater, paving, and foundations, delivered under one contract.
Development in Brookhaven runs through the City of Brookhaven for land disturbance and site permitting, with DeKalb County involved on certain elements. Close-in redevelopment sites often carry tighter constraints around existing utilities, traffic, and stormwater than greenfield work, so coordinating the submittal and the field sequence matters. 2070 manages the permitting process directly — preparing the package with the civil engineer, responding to review comments, and carrying it through approval.
The terrain is Piedmont red clay, moisture-sensitive and prone to shrink and swell. On constrained infill sites with little room to balance earthwork, imported structural fill and disciplined compaction are usually what bring a Brookhaven site to finish grade.
In Brookhaven, 2070 Construction self-performs the full horizontal scope plus foundations and structural concrete: site development, grading and earthwork, underground utilities, stormwater and drainage, concrete and foundations, and permitting. For a developer building infill townhome, mixed-use, or residential product in Brookhaven, that means one accountable contractor from permit to pad ready.
