The community would be the first of its kind in the region, with micro-homes built inside shipping containers surrounded by luxurious amenities.

A proposed development in Atlanta would use recycled shipping containers to build homes surrounded by luxurious amenities, according to an article by Josh Green in Urbanize Atlanta. The developer, Alexis Luxury Living (A.L.L.), has not yet selected a site.
While the homes would all be between 500 and 700 square feet, the community would include all the trappings of a high-end planned development including a manned gate, clubhouse with bar, pool, gym, and laundromat. “Beyond the pool digs and guards, features will include a community garden, dedicated parking, an onsite leasing center, and overall aesthetics described as ‘exquisite.’”
“Sophonie Alexis, the company’s CEO and founder, says the goal with A.L.L. is to help tackle a void of available housing for Georgia’s middle class. The concept is described as the first of its kind, with an eye toward quality and high-end finishes other micro communities lack.” The homes will cost between $100,000 and $300,000.
