Redevelopment of
Johnson Ferry
East
The Housing Authority of Dekalb County and its Master Development team, the NorSouth Companies and The Collaborative Firm, are redeveloping the former Johnson Ferry East public housing site into Brookleigh, a model mixed-use, mixed-income community of homes, shops and restaurants.
The concept for Brookleigh is a multi-generational community of neighborhoods centered around a park and a village of stores and restaurants, all built to sustainable standards and connected - with each other and surrounding neighborhoods – by sidewalks and a multipurpose PATH trail.
