The clubhouse (foreground) and an apartment building are just two of the many buildings now under construction at the Lafayette Square residential development on Ga. Highway 54 and Lafayette Avenue in Fayetteville.
It took some time to get the Lafayette Square residential development going. Today, the luxury apartments on Ga. Highway 54 at Lafayette Avenue in Fayetteville is going up like gang-busters.
The 210-luxury apartment project located on 11.6 acres on the northwest side of Hwy. 54 at Lafayette Avenue will give the city and county a first look at apartment living complete with concierge-level services.
Lafayette Square will be a community with monitored security gates and fences and will feature a resort-style pool and deck, a 5,200 sq. ft. clubhouse, deckside cabanas and hot tubs, several parks, landscaped courtyards, a fully-equipped business center and cyber cafe and tanning salon.
The Charter Companies founder Miles Hill previously said the clubhouse building and the apartment buildings immediately surrounding it will open first.
The road front on Hwy. 54 will feature an 8-foot sidewalk, decorative lampposts and a retaining wall that will feature additional landscaping. The idea, said Hill, is to make the streetside area one that encourages connectivity to downtown.
Hill said aside from a number of corporate apartments, all others would carry a 12-month lease. The corporate apartments would be fully furnished and would include a six-month lease, he said.
“We’re not interested in less than six months,” Hill said in 2014 of the six-month corporate leases. “We’ll let the extended-stay businesses deal with those.”
Corporate apartments are expected to cater to the emerging film industry, the medical industry and Hartsfield-Atlanta Airport.
The proposal was approved by the Fayetteville City Council in June 2014.
Original plans were to have construction began in late 2014 in time for an opening in mid-2015.
