Photos: Topped-out Summerhill project has claimed vacant corner Josh Green Wed, 04/03/2024 - 10:35 Summerhill’s residential explosion is continuing where the historic neighborhood’s enlivened commercial district meets a large intown park.
Ten 5 Summerhill, a modern-style townhome project with a twist, has topped out and reached the home stretch of construction at the eastern edge of Summerhill’s growing dining and shopping district.
The 10 townhomes, designed by Atlanta’s Xmetrical firm, stand at the southwest corner of Georgia Avenue’s intersection with Martin Street. For well over a decade, the .3-acre site was vacant, as almost all buildings on Georgia Avenue used to be.
The project’s development team is listed as JB Development Partners, Bespoke Developments, and South City Residential.

Offering for-sale units as opposed to rentals, the project’s website lists its status as “Coming soon.” (We’ve reached out to the marketing team for information on ETA, townhome square footages, and pricing, and we’ll update this story with any additional information.)
Some of the four-story floorplans are unique in that they swap garages for studio apartments at street level. A small lot with reserved, off-street parking will be tucked behind the townhomes, masked from public view.
All four floorplans have two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, two half-baths, and spaces such as a top-story “bonus room” or the apartments. Each also has a rooftop deck with a wet bar, some of them covered.
The location is across the street from Phoenix II Park, a 7.3-acre community greenspace, and a block east of Georgia Avenue’s new slate of restaurants and other businesses.

The townhome site in question sold for $660,000 in 2018—just two years after it had traded for $168,000, according to property records. (In 2013, the property went for $70,000, which speaks to the area’s cachet since the Braves decamped to Cobb County and the post-recession intown market caught fire.)
The site is owned by Intown Builders, a frequent Xmetrical collaborator, per building permit records. The developer had previously planned a six-story, 21-unit condo building at the corner property with commercial spaces at street level, but those plans were later nixed.
Since its days as a largely empty and blighted intown street, Georgia Avenue has added a full portfolio of restaurants, retail, and service-related businesses as part of Carter’s Summerhill development, both in revived old buildings and new construction. Those businesses join more than 1,200 new apartments and townhomes that have opened, or are under construction now, in the blocks surrounding Georgia State University’s Center Parc Stadium.
