Celebrating a Monumental Milestone: Groundbreaking for The Proctor Multifamily Development

Today marks a monumental achievement for Essayon Construction Group, as we celebrate the groundbreaking of The Proctor, a development birthed from the mind of developer, Rod Mullice of Windsor Stevens. This transformative Multifamily property will leave a lasting impact on the Atlanta community providing 41 affordable units to help address Atlanta's affordable housing shortage. This development is the culmination of coordination, investing, and planning of multiple entities including the City of Atlanta, Windsor Stevens, Atlanta Urban Development Corporation (AUD), Basis Investment Group, LLC ("Basis"), Goldman Sachs, and Invest Atlanta. This project is a significant milestone, not only for us but for the city, the development industry, and especially for the Atlanta residents who will call this property home. The Proctor will feature a mix of residential, retail, and commercial spaces, designed to breathe new life into the community while fostering economic growth and opportunity.

What This Means for the Community

This development is more than just a building project. It's a statement of change, empowerment, and revitalization for the surrounding neighborhoods. With mixed-use developments, we are creating spaces that bring people together, offering much-needed housing, job opportunities, and retail experiences all in one vibrant location. At Essayon, our vision is to create economic opportunities by building places and building people. This property aligns perfectly with our goal to supply housing for those in need while enriching the community we build in.

The Proctor is positioned to be a community hub, where people will live, work, and play. This is a transformative project that will create lasting economic and social benefits, not only for those directly involved but for everyone who will experience the positive ripple effects for years to come.

This project, and others like it, show how far we've come as a company and the kind of future we are building - one where opportunity is not just given, but earned, and shared by all.
