Continuing the suburban exploration series with Trilith. Before we dive in, make sure to head back and check out my spotlight on Woodstock.

Trilith is a made from scratch new-urbanist greenfield development and movie studio complex roughly 25 miles Southwest of Downtown Atlanta.

It’s not your typical greenfield sprawl development though. Trilith is a dense, walkable, town center type environment filled with pocket parks, innovative architecture, shops, restaurants and more. It goes to show that not all greenfield development fits the sprawl definition.

The new-urbanist development type proves to be extremely popular – even when it’s in the middle of nowhere. Housing prices here are off the charts. As proven time and time again, people will pay a premium to live in a walkable environment. We need to build more of them – especially in the city.

Check out the gallery below from a recent walkthrough.

To find out more about Trilith head to their website.

Stay tuned next time as we explore Wendell, NC.

Phil Veasley is a Professional Engineer working to design safer multimodal infrastructure in cities throughout the US.

My goal is to create cities that are safe and effective for all people to move about outside of cars. To achieve that we have to focus on creating equitable, dense, and vibrant cities full of walkable neighborhoods with a various mix of housing choices, schools, restaurants, and services. We cannot have safe multimodal infrastructure without the density to support it and we cannot have equitable density without safe multimodal infrastructure. Outside of designing safe streets, my passions are sketching ideas for infill neighborhoods, floor plans, urban photography, and exploring our cities on foot or bike. Please check out the menus above for all of my ideas and also check out my YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter accounts.
