Included from the Ground Up: Affordable Accessibility at Phoenix Station

Phoenix Station, a new affordable housing project by LDG, will be an apartment complex in Decatur, just outside downtown Atlanta. It's on track for completion in 2024, with applications opening December 2023.

Unlike most affordable housing, 30% of its units will be mobility-accessible, and all units will have the "bones" for easy conversion for accessibility needs.

We talked to Shelly Simmons, SILCGA executive director, and Chris Byrd, LDG director of development in the Southeast, about the collaboration that informed the build philosophy of Phoenix Station.
