Hines JV Eyes 10 MSF Atlanta Mixed-Use Project
The industrial component alone will cover more than 1,200 acres.
Hines and Aubrey Corp. have teamed up to develop Aubrey Village, a mixed-use project spanning more than 2,390 acres in Bartow County, Ga., within Greater Atlanta. The multi-phase development’s timeline will stretch up to 12 years.
The industrial component will take up more than 1,200 acres across two separate campuses that are located on the project’s opposite ends. Another 600 acres are entitled for a mixture of retail and residential uses.
Upon completion, Aubrey Village will encompass up to 10 million square feet of manufacturing, data center, logistics, retail, restaurant and hotel spaces, as well as residential properties. The housing component will feature single-family homes, townhomes and apartments for 2,800 families.

During Phase One, which is scheduled to kick off later this year or early 2026, Hines will work on the site’s infrastructure. Aubrey Parkway, the mixed-use development’s primary roadway, will connect all sections of the project.
Aubrey Village will take shape roughly 52 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta within Pine Log, a 14,000-acre former wildlife management area that The State Department of Natural Resources leased for almost 50 years. That changed in May 2023 when Aubrey Corp. opted not to renew the agreement.
Lee & Associates Executive Vice President Jim Ramseur and Research Coordinator Samantha Wheeler represented Aubrey Corp. in creating the joint venture with Hines. Ramseur Real Estate Advisors will provide counsel on the commercial and residential parcels.
Close to several employment centers
Situated alongside U.S. Route 411 at the Interstate 75 interchange, the site is also close to several current and future large employers operating in Bartow County.
Hyundai Motor Group, together with SK On, invested up to $5 billion in a new electric vehicle battery manufacturing facility at Bartow Centre, a zoned manufacturing and industrial site located on Highway 411. That factory is set to become operational this year.
Qcells, a solar industry operator, also invested $2.5 billion in a manufacturing facility within the county’s borders. Upon delivery, the property will produce 3.3 gigawatts of solar ingots, wafers, cells and finished panels. Construction work began in 2023.
And, earlier this month, county officials approved the rezoning of another 500 acres at Pine Log. The site, to be transformed into a granite mining quarry, is about 9 miles from the future Aubrey Village.
