Atlanta Multifamily Developments Increase Use of Perimeter Fencing and Automated Gate Systems

ATLANTA, GA — January 2026 — As multifamily construction continues across metro Atlanta, developers are increasingly incorporating perimeter access-control infrastructure into site planning to support resident entry management and defined property boundaries. Contractors working in the segment report growing demand for ornamental steel perimeter systems paired with automated gate access as communities seek to balance controlled entry with a residential aesthetic.
One recent example is the newly constructed Ashleigh 2 apartment community in Atlanta, a 212-unit development that completed installation of an ornamental steel perimeter system totaling approximately 1,500 linear feet, along with automated vehicle gates and pedestrian access points. The fencing scope was installed over a four-month construction window and coordinated with general contractor schedules during ongoing grading and utility work.
“On new multifamily builds, perimeter fencing and automated gates are often treated as part of the overall access plan, not an afterthought,” said a project representative with Chamblee Fence Company, a commercial and residential fencing contractor serving the Atlanta area. “When fencing and gate scopes are integrated earlier in construction planning, it supports smoother coordination and helps teams meet inspection timelines.”
The Ashleigh 2 perimeter system utilized Montage Plus ornamental steel fencing with a combination of 4-foot and 6-foot sections to support visibility in some areas while reinforcing boundaries in others. The scope also included automated estate gates configured for vehicle entry control and multiple pedestrian gates for day-to-day access.
Chamblee Fence Company noted that coordination with the build team focused on sequencing installation around site conditions and required inspections to ensure the perimeter scope aligned with municipal review requirements.
