Flournoy Development Group (FDG) has officially announced the upcoming development of Ellison Lake Julian, a premier luxury apartment community set along the picturesque banks of Lake Julian in South Asheville. Spanning 8.88 acres, this innovative project will feature a total of 279 thoughtfully designed apartment homes, housed within five buildings, offering a variety of living options, including one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartments.
Ellison Lake Julian aims to redefine upscale living in the region, incorporating modern amenities designed for a luxurious lifestyle. Central to the community will be a standalone fitness and wellness center that promises a spa-quality experience, featuring steam rooms, saunas, and a dedicated yoga studio equipped with state-of-the-art fitness equipment. In addition, residents will have access to a resort-style pool, outdoor entertainment areas, an expansive clubhouse with both communal and private coworking spaces, a grab-and-go market, a smart package room, a dog spa, and ample storage for bicycles and kayaks. Scenic pocket courtyards will be integrated throughout the community to enhance the outdoor experience.
The development’s tranquil setting along Lake Julian provides residents with a range of outdoor recreational activities such as sailing, kayaking, and picnicking at the nearby Lake Julian Park, all while enjoying breathtaking lakefront and mountain views. Convenient access to major roads, particularly Long Shoals Road, puts residents just minutes away from Asheville’s vibrant retail and lifestyle attractions, including Biltmore Park Town Square and the Hendersonville Road retail corridor.
“Ellison Lake Julian combines serene lakefront living with modern amenities and easy access to all that Asheville has to offer,” said Ryan Foster, Senior Vice President of Flournoy Development Group. “We are excited to bring this premier community to life.”
FDG boasts a remarkable track record in Asheville, having previously completed successful projects such as The Aventine, The District, and Ellison at the Preserve. The firm is committed to fostering communities that contribute positively to the region and continues its philanthropic efforts through the Flournoy Helping Hands initiative. This program supports a variety of annual initiatives, including school supply drives and animal shelter adoption campaigns, a legacy of service that Ellison Lake Julian will uphold in the Asheville area.
Currently under construction, Ellison Lake Julian is expected to welcome its first residents in late 2026. The development team includes general contractor Harkins Builders, architect Dynamik Design, and property management by Flournoy Properties Group. As FDG marches forward with this ambitious project, excitement builds for the luxurious lifestyle it promises to bring to South Asheville.
