Groundbreaking set May 18 for The Benison ATL mini homes community at New Birth campus

STONECREST, GA–New Birth’s Senior Pastor Jamal Harrison Bryant will join a host of elected officials and dignitaries for a groundbreaking ceremony commemorating the first mini-home community on Saturday, May 18, at noon, 6370 Woodrow Road.

The Benison ATL is a mixed-use development that will occupy 35 acres of New Birth’s property and feature 120 mini homes in its initial phase of construction – reshaping the landscape of affordable housing in the area.

“Our commitment to this life-changing endeavor is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves an affordable place to call home and a pathway to homeownership that has become unobtainable for so many households,” said Bryant. “We recognize the mounting obstacles confronting aspiring homeowners in the relentless landscape of the national real estate market. This effort is not just about building houses; it’s about erecting pillars of hope and opportunity for families seeking stability and prosperity and laying the foundation for dreams to flourish and communities to thrive.”

Led by seasoned real estate sales leader and developer Anthony Williams, Sydney A. Capital Partners hopes to transform the market by providing vibrant residential, commercial and mixed-use properties.

“In the world of real estate development, we pride ourselves as a visionary firm guided by innovation and anchored in integrity. Through this partnership with New Birth, we look to dynamically reimagine housing concepts in this area by ushering in bold, fresh, and quality designed marque properties,” Williams said.

With the development of The Benison ATL, New Birth, recognized as the largest land-owning Black church in America, with 270 contiguous acres in DeKalb County, marks its first major development project in two decades. The development will unfold in three phases: Phase I will feature 120 mini homes, followed by townhomes in Phase II, and concluding with residential/retail space in Phase III. Notable amenities include an amphitheater, expansive green spaces, and a swimming pool – catering to diverse demographics including young professionals, couples, empty nesters, and seniors.

In addition to Bryant, confirmed speakers at the groundbreaking ceremony include Congressman Hank Johnson, DeKalb County CEO Michael Thurmond, Stonecrest Mayor Jazzmin Cobble, and Stonecrest Council Member Tammy Grimes.
