ATLANTA (October 19, 2023) – Ware Malcomb, an award-winning international design firm, today announced that construction is complete on The Perry, a new multifamily development located at the intersection of Jimmy Carter and Peachtree Industrial boulevards in Norcross, GA. Ware Malcomb provided interior architecture and design services for the amenity spaces in the 160-unit community.
The new development is located at the gateway to several of metro Atlanta’s thriving submarkets near historic downtown Norcross and is part of a larger redevelopment weaving together offices, shopping, restaurants and apartments. The garden-style, gated property is a project by FIDES Development, an Atlanta-based firm founded in 2020 by industry veterans who bring together more than $5 billion in real estate development and investment experience.
“Our team relished the opportunity to apply our expertise in multifamily design in partnership with FIDES to achieve an innovative communal setting,” said Joe Stryker, Regional Director, Ware Malcomb. “The resident amenities will make a significant impact on the community lifestyle, especially considering the ongoing trend of work-from-home.”
Community amenities at The Perry include a hospitality zone and lounge for hosting guests at the intersection of the entrance with the pool and lobby, featuring custom specialty millwork and equipped with TV’s, sofas and games. Other amenity spaces include a bike room, coworking space, office work rooms, a mail room, pet spa area and a gym.
“Our core design concepts included nature, livability, durability and softness,” said Jamie Case, Director, Interior Architecture & Design for Ware Malcomb’s Atlanta office.
“We developed unique wall coverings with an inviting watercolor look to promote residents’ connection to nature,” said Kourtney Pennycook, Senior Project Manager for Ware Malcomb. “The artwork and photography throughout the public spaces were sourced from local artists bringing a historical and community-focused vibe to the property.”
The team also selected finishes in the units including carpet, counters, cabinet color, and luxury vinyl tile.
