Crescent Communities Closes on Land for RENDER Tucker in Northeast Atlanta
ATLANTA (Feb. 12, 2026): Crescent Communities, a nationally recognized, market-leading real estate investor, developer, and operator of mixed-use communities, today announced the land close at RENDER Tucker, a four-story community planned in Tucker, Georgia, a rapidly evolving community situated on the northeast portion of Atlanta’s beltway in DeKalb County. Planned for 312 for-rent residences, construction on the 13-acre development is commencing, with units delivering in late summer 2027.
Offering residents suburban ease with convenient access to Atlanta’s major destinations, RENDER Tucker is located near a variety of retail, dining, and lifestyle amenities, including Downtown Tucker, Tucker Brewing Company, and Northlake Mall. Nearby employment spans healthcare, education, government, utilities, and more, with a prime location directly off Interstate 285.
“Tucker is emerging as a smart and increasingly compelling choice for renters, offering affordability relative to nearby submarkets, access to major employment corridors, and proximity to some of metro Atlanta’s most loved outdoor destinations,” said Eric Liebendorfer, Managing Director of Development for Georgia at Crescent Communities. “RENDER Tucker will provide a thoughtful, character-rich community that feels both connected and calm, designed to offer a lifestyle residents can settle into and enjoy.”
RENDER Tucker will be designed around a resident experience that emphasizes outdoor living, social connection, and walkable, intuitive movement throughout the community. Planned outdoor and social features will include a welcoming entry park designed as a landscaped buffer and arrival experience, along with an arrival lawn near the clubhouse intended to create a natural “welcome moment” with nature-inspired elements and community wayfinding. Additional relaxed side-yard spaces may incorporate features such as meandering paths, hammock zones, swings, and art features, creating quieter options for residents adjacent to the community’s main amenities. The community will also feature enhancements designed to support connection and leisure, including a pool, a fireplace and fire pit, spacious dog park, grills, a community garden, and a dedicated walking path with tie-ins to the City of Tucker’s proposed Tucker-Northlake trail.
Chuo Nittochi Group is serving as the equity partner on the project and Santander Bank is the lender. Additional partners include Focus Design Interiors (interior design), Hensley Lamkin Rachel (architect), Kimley-Horn (civil engineer), and MSD landscape architecture.
More broadly in Atlanta, Crescent Communities recently announced the land closing at NOVEL Lulah Hills, a new multifamily development within the larger 78-acre Lulah Hills mixed-use development in Decatur. Additionally, Crescent Communities is expanding its footprint with new communities such as RENDER Covington, RENDER Stockbridge, RENDER Turner Lake, in Covington and HARMON Cedar Run in Lawrenceville – all open and leasing – as well as RENDER Douglasville (opening soon) and NOVEL Blandtown (under construction). Crescent Communities is also actively engaged in new development opportunities in the Atlanta market.
Crescent’s RENDER communities are best-in-class, high-quality suburban multifamily communities with local character, designed for residents seeking comfort, convenience, and an elevated lifestyle at an accessible price point. In Tucker, an evolving and increasingly desirable alternative to nearby submarkets, RENDER Tucker will provide new multifamily options in a community that has historically seen limited apartment development.
