HARMON Cedar Run Welcomes First Residents
ATLANTA (Oct. 13, 2025): Crescent Communities, a nationally recognized, market-leading real estate investor, developer, and operator of mixed-use communities, today announced the first move-ins at HARMON Cedar Run, a new build-to-rent community in Lawrenceville, Georgia, and the first HARMON community in the greater Atlanta market. The 38-acre development introduces 151 three- and four-bedroom townhomes and single-family homes, with additional amenities set to debut shortly.
Designed around togetherness and active living, HARMON Cedar Run offers a lifestyle centered on connection. Amenities include a resort-style pool with shaded seating areas, pickleball and basketball courts, and expansive green spaces that link the neighborhood to its natural surroundings. DRB Group, a Sumitomo Forestry Co., Ltd affiliate company is serving as the development’s homebuilder. Crescent Communities is also an affiliate of Sumitomo Forestry Co., Ltd.
“Lawrenceville is one of the fastest-growing communities in the Southeast, with a strong employment base, cultural vibrancy, and a welcoming community feel that makes it an ideal home for HARMON Cedar Run,” said Tony Chen, Senior Managing Director of Single-Family Build-to-Rent at Crescent Communities. “We designed this neighborhood to reflect that spirit – providing residents not only with high-quality homes but also with opportunities to build lasting connections and create a lifestyle rooted in togetherness.”
Located in Gwinnett County, one of the Southeast’s fastest-growing regions, HARMON Cedar Run sits just 30 miles northeast of Atlanta with convenient access to major employers and lifestyle hubs such as Northside Hospital Gwinnett, Primerica headquarters, Georgia Gwinnett College, and a Publix distribution center.
HARMON Cedar Run is part of Crescent Communities’ expanding HARMON portfolio, supported through its joint venture partnership with a separate account managed by Heitman LLC, which recently increased its commitment from $235 million to $345 million. The expansion reflects the growing demand for high-quality, intentionally crafted communities in key growth markets including Arizona, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.
HARMON Cedar Run marks Crescent Communities’ 13th multifamily investment in the greater Atlanta market. Last fall, Crescent celebrated the land closing of RENDER Douglasville, which is expected to deliver in early 2026. Three additional RENDER communities – RENDER Stockbridge, RENDER Turner Lake, and RENDER Covington – as well as NOVEL West Midtown are currently leasing within the market. Additionally, NOVEL Blandtown is under construction in Atlanta’s urban core. While Crescent’s Class A NOVEL brand delivers luxury residences in urban environments, its HARMON brand includes build-to-rent communities, and RENDER focuses on developing best-in-class suburban multifamily communities with local character at a more approachable cost.
Nationwide, Crescent Communities continues to experience significant growth with $7.2 billion of residential and commercial investments and developments in various stages of construction, operations, and planning. That pipeline includes 15,300 multi- and single-family build-to-rent units; 58,000 square feet of complementary retail space; and 7.5 million square feet of office, industrial, and life-sciences facilities. With a focus on environmental sustainability and wellness, Crescent Communities is a leading recipient of LEED, NGBS (National Green Building Standard), Fitwel, and WELL certifications.
