$4.4M tax break granted for Chamblee project with nearly 320 apartments

Developers will receive a $4.4 million tax break on a new mixed-use project in Chamblee with the requirement that the developers complete several public improvement projects.

The Chamblee Downtown Development Authority approved a tax abatement last Tuesday for the Lumen Chamblee project, which will include 318 apartments, roughly 4,700 square feet of restaurant and retail space and a 509-space parking deck.
