Images: Ponce City Market's next tower is ready for its closeup Josh Green Wed, 07/24/2024 - 13:02 As part of Ponce City Market’s phase-two growth spurt, a new tower that blurs the lines between amenitized apartments and hotel flexibility is prepping to open its doors after two years of construction.
Atlanta’s latest hospitality living concept, Scout Living, is accepting reservations starting in September for its 405 one and two-bedroom units that can be booked for a single night, a week, or months at a time.
Jason Fudin, CEO and cofounder of national flex-living operator Placemakr, called the project “a first-of-its-kind development in the U.S.” in an announcement this week.
The 21-story tower—located on the eastern edge of Ponce City Market’s block at 639 Glen Iris Drive—marks the third new-construction building to pop up around the adaptive-reuse landmark since it opened in 20215.
Scout Living’s units will differ from most traditional new Atlanta apartments by coming fully furnished (to include art on the walls and kitchens with all cooking equipment and utensils), along with hotel-style services and amenities. Laundry and dry-cleaning, housekeeping, and other services such as restocking of essentials will be available at the push of a button, per developer Jamestown.

Expect a pool on the roof (no pics available yet), a wellness studio, virtual check-in, a chef’s kitchen, and a lounge/coworking/private event space on the second floor, among other amenities.
Elsewhere, the building will include 12,000 square feet of retail at the ground floor—all of it with 21-foot ceiling heights intended for a food-and-beverage concept and convenience store with grab-and-go items, per Jamestown.
Lodging options at Scout Living start with studio units that count between 397 and 489 square feet. Those include a queen bed, washer and dryer, and kitchenette.
Member rates range in October, for instance, from a starting price of $216 per night for members, up to $268 and up per night on weekends. (Units with city views are $10 to $13 extra per night. Also, nonmembers can expect to pay around $40 more per night.)
For longer term stays, the studio options start at $1,500 per month.

Meanwhile, the priciest options are two-bedroom, two-bathroom units (723 to 787 square feet) with city views, full refrigerators, and in-unit laundry.
For nonmembers, those are going for $472 to $493 per night in October.
Longer-term stays for Scout Living’s two-bedroom options start around $2,900 monthly.
According to project leaders, an event team will be on site at Scout Living to “offer real, unfussy hospitality and help prearrange details for onsite events, including arranging shuttle service to and from the airport, curating and customizing a run of show, coordinating private chef experiences, and other special requests.”

Jamestown began building on PCM and the BeltLine’s popularity in early 2022, breaking ground on the property’s first new ground-up tower, Signal House, an apartment building that’s now leasing (with rents up to $7,000 monthly) over the Eastside Trail.
That building also stands 21 stories, bookending PCM’s century-old former distribution center with new high-rise construction. (It was previously reserved for residents age 55 and over, but those restrictions have been removed.)
The campus expansion also includes 619 Ponce, a four-story mass timber loft office building that finished construction along Ponce de Leon Avenue in April.
