Brookhaven Commercial Real Estate Market
Brookhaven's commercial real estate market benefits from the premium that Atlanta's in-perimeter locations command — proximity to Buckhead (2 miles south), Emory University (3 miles east), and Midtown (5 miles southwest) places Brookhaven within the orbit of Atlanta's highest-value employment and cultural centers. The city's 2012 incorporation gave it control over zoning and development standards, and the resulting focus on quality development has produced commercial environments like Town Brookhaven and the Dresden Drive district that attract premium tenants and rents.
The Brookhaven-Oglethorpe MARTA station is catalyzing transit-oriented development that adds density, foot traffic, and property value to surrounding commercial properties. Peachtree Road's commercial corridor through Brookhaven serves both through-traffic and the local affluent population. The Pill Hill medical corridor — one of metro Atlanta's most concentrated medical districts — extends into Brookhaven, with Emory Saint Joseph's Hospital generating medical office demand. The growing restaurant scene along Dresden Drive and at Town Brookhaven creates dining destination appeal that is building the city's commercial brand.
Brookhaven's buyer pool includes institutional investors targeting MARTA-adjacent transit-oriented development, Buckhead-area investors expanding north, Emory-connected healthcare investors, and high-net-worth individuals from the affluent residential community. Cap rates are among the tightest in the Atlanta metro, reflecting in-perimeter location, MARTA access, and the demographic premium. For sellers, Brookhaven properties attract maximum value when positioned within the in-perimeter premium narrative — the structural advantages of transit access, Buckhead proximity, and top schools that drive sustained demand.
Top Property Types in Brookhaven
Retail & Mixed-Use
Town Brookhaven, the Dresden Drive restaurant corridor, and the Peachtree Road commercial strip serve Brookhaven's affluent population with dining, shopping, and lifestyle retail that reflects the community's in-perimeter sophistication. Restaurant demand is particularly strong — the city's proximity to Buckhead and Emory creates a dining audience that supports chef-driven concepts and premium casual dining. Properties with outdoor dining, walkable settings, and proximity to MARTA or the developing pedestrian infrastructure command premiums that reflect the in-perimeter lifestyle expectation.
Medical & Healthcare
Emory Saint Joseph's Hospital and the Pill Hill medical corridor extending from Dunwoody into Brookhaven generate medical office demand driven by one of metro Atlanta's densest concentrations of healthcare facilities. Properties along Peachtree Road and near the hospital campus serve physician practices, specialty clinics, and outpatient services. Brookhaven's affluent demographics support above-average healthcare utilization in elective and specialty categories. The Emory Healthcare network's presence adds institutional credibility that attracts both physician-investors and national healthcare REITs.
Office & Professional
MARTA access and in-perimeter location make Brookhaven increasingly attractive for office and mixed-use development serving Atlanta's professional workforce. The Brookhaven-Oglethorpe station area is seeing transit-oriented development that combines office, retail, and residential. Professional service firms, creative agencies, and technology companies seeking Buckhead-quality office at more accessible pricing are targeting Brookhaven. Properties with MARTA proximity and walkable surroundings attract tenants who value transit connectivity for employee recruitment and retention.
