About Us:

Founded in 2010, Atlantica Properties is a vertically integrated real estate investment and asset management company with a mission to empower individuals by establishing thriving, holistic communities.

Since its inception, the company has achieved success by acquiring and managing assets that produce strong financial returns.  With a focus on workforce housing, Atlantica employs hands-on business practices and strong industry relationships to execute on opportunities that produce equitable outcomes.

With over 40 years of combined real estate experience, the leadership team at Atlantica Properties is positioned to become one of the premier multifamily brands in the Atlanta market.

The company is managed by its co-founders, Darion Dunn and Trenton Dunn.  Darion and Trenton Dunn are brothers who were born and raised in Atlanta.  They each have an intimate knowledge of the Atlanta landscape, which has helped shape their real estate business.

Darion and Trenton joined forces in 2010 to establish Atlantica Properties, a company that embodies their vision to build communities and empower individuals.  They have worked hard to establish Atlantica Properties as a role model for workforce housing acquisition, development and property management.

Darion Dunn, P.E., began his career as a real estate investor in 1998 while earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering and a certificate in Economics at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He acquired and rehabilitated single‐family and multifamily properties, utilizing his engineering and finance background to establish a system of effective construction management and cost controls.  In 2010, Darion founded Atlantica Properties, a vertically integrated real estate investment and asset management company.

In the corporate world, Darion worked for five years as a project manager for Harrington, George & Dunn, P.C., a civil engineering firm founded by his father. In 2005, Darion accepted a position as lead program manager for Croy Engineering, where he was responsible for managing transportation, infrastructure, and capital improvement projects that had a total budget of more than $250 million. Darion also has served as the Director of Capital Improvements and Planning for the Buckhead Community Improvement District, managing projects for one of the most dynamic regions in the southeastern United States.

Darion also sits on the boards of the Georgia Tech School of Civil and Environmental Engineering Advisory Board, Chattahoochee Technical College Foundation, The Center for Family Resources, Open Doors, and Star-C.

Darion’s experience as a real estate investor, professional engineer, and community leader gives him a unique perspective as the principal of Atlantica Properties. He strongly believes that everyone profits when communities adopt a thoughtful, inclusive approach to real estate development.

Trenton Dunn, CPM, began his career investing in single–family properties in 2003 after attending the Georgia Institute of Technology. He later ventured into multifamily real estate in 2010, co-founding Atlantica Properties.

As a licensed Georgia real estate broker and Certified Property Manager (CPM®), Trenton has gained experience managing acquisitions, tenant relations, and dispositions of institutional assets in over $100M of transactions. Trenton believes in building asset management systems that generate exceptional returns for investors, while also creating opportunities for both tenants and homeowners to gain stability and equity in their communities.

Since 2019, Trenton has been an annual ICON Award recipient presented by eXp Realty for sales volume and community contributions. He is also a 2022 Spring Graduate of the United Way VIP Board Training Program and is currently serving as a Government Affairs committee member for the Georgia Association of REALTORS.

Trenton is an active member of the Board of Realtist, Atlanta Black Chamber of Commerce, Atlanta Board of Realtors, National Association of Real Estate Brokers, and the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM).

Trenton attends and supports the housing ministry at New Life Church in Decatur, GA and enjoys volunteering with Nicholas House, Habitat for Humanity, Hosea Feed the Hungry, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta. He also enjoys spending time with family, traveling, golf, and Atlanta Hawks basketball.
