Array by McKinley Homes Highlighted as Part of the Metro Atlanta’s Housing Solution
East Atlanta community featured in FOX 5 Atlanta coverage of the region’s growing need for new housing
As Metro Atlanta continues to grow, the need for attainable, thoughtfully located housing has become one of the region’s most pressing challenges. A recent FOX 5 Atlanta report examining the Atlanta Regional Commission’s Housing Forward 2035 plan brought that challenge into focus — while highlighting the redevelopment taking place at Moreland Avenue and Custer Avenue in Southeast Atlanta, home to Array by McKinley Homes.
According to FOX 5, regional estimates indicate Metro Atlanta will need well over 300,000 additional homes by 2035 to keep pace with demand. The housing shortage is already affecting families throughout the region, with half of Metro Atlanta renters and approximately one-quarter of homeowners considered cost-burdened.
Turning Underutilized Space Into New Housing

One of the solutions taking shape today can be found in East Atlanta. The site at Moreland and Custer was once home to Moreland Plaza, an aging shopping center dating back to the 1960s. Today, the property is being transformed into a vibrant residential destination that introduces
hundreds of new housing opportunities to an established part of the city.
At the heart of that transformation is Array by McKinley Homes, a new community of contemporary for-sale townhomes starting from the mid-$300s.
Array demonstrates how thoughtful redevelopment can help address Atlanta’s housing shortage: by transforming previously underutilized commercial property into new homes in an area already connected to jobs, transportation, recreation and the city’s cultural destinations.
Adding Attainable Homeownership Opportunities Inside the Perimeter
Increasing the number of homes is only part of the equation. Creating opportunities for homeownership at a wider range of price points is equally important.
Array offers two- and three-story townhomes with two to three bedrooms and one- and two-car garages, providing options for a variety of buyers. With homes starting in the mid-$300s, the community brings new-construction homeownership opportunities to a desirable intown Atlanta location.
Its location in the 30316 area also places residents within convenient reach of the Atlanta BeltLine, Downtown Atlanta, major employment centers and some of the city’s most popular neighborhoods and destinations.
For McKinley Homes, Array represents an opportunity to add much-needed housing inventory without pushing new development farther away from the places where Atlantans already work, shop and spend their time.
Building for Atlanta’s Future
The Atlanta Regional Commission’s Housing Forward 2035 initiative emphasizes that solving the region’s housing challenge will require a range of approaches — including redevelopment of underutilized commercial properties and the creation of more housing near jobs and transportation.
Array is already putting those ideas into action.
By helping transform a once-underutilized property into new for-sale homes, Array is adding housing supply, creating new opportunities for homeownership and investing in the continued growth of Southeast Atlanta.
As Metro Atlanta works toward meeting the housing needs of its rapidly growing population, communities like Array demonstrate how homebuilders can be part of the solution — creating thoughtfully designed homes in connected locations while making more efficient use of land already within the urban fabric.
Inside the Perimeter. Outside the Ordinary.
