Gwinnett County building permits — week of March 16–20, 2026
Dear Gwinnett,
Two hundred and forty six apartments are coming to 2440 Alcovy Road in Dacula. The project is called The Lineage, and Thompson Thrift filed thirteen permits for it in a single week: six apartment buildings, five separate garage buildings, a pool building, and one for the trash compactor enclosure. The largest of the six buildings alone is $13,831,206, and the thirteen together account for better than two thirds of every dollar filed in the county this week.
Six developments put plans in. Smith Douglas Homes wants 120 lots on 52 acres at 2700 Hamilton Mill Road in Buford. Brooks Village Partners filed 75 lots on 37.75 acres off Brooks Road in Dacula. Meridian Homes filed a 48 unit townhome community on 4.2 acres at 1890 Pleasant Hill Road in Duluth. The other three are commercial: a three building warehouse park on Satellite Boulevard totaling 180,000 square feet, a mixed use project with retail and apartments at 4500 Peachtree Industrial Boulevard in Norcross, and a second phase of Sugarloaf Marketplace in Lawrenceville that the filing describes as retail and restaurant pads.
The biggest house permit of the week is a strange one. $1,548,433 at 2840 New Hope Road in Dacula, 3,716 heated square feet, and the type of work is listed as Resume Construction. No contractor is named. Somebody is picking that house back up.
All told it is 202 permits and about $102M. Underneath the big numbers it is Toll Brothers filing three more in Ledgestone, Pulte filing in Haverhill Estates, and a long tail of furnaces and water heaters. The whole list is here.
See you Friday,
Hank · Columnist, GwinnettPulseWelcome Foods is putting up a building at 1855 Duluth Highway in Lawrenceville, $693,316, filed under Sugarloaf Junction. And at 3885 Crestwood Parkway in Duluth, $563,904 is going into tearing something down.
