Fresh concept emerges for Georgia Tech's revised football stadium Josh Green Fri, 09/22/2023 - 16:59 Like Georgia Tech’s newfound respectability on the gridiron, fresh renderings for Bobby Dodd Stadium’s forthcoming renovation have recently emerged with designs leaning more into the school’s rich history than a cutting-edge future.

J Batt, Georgia Tech’s director of athletics, provided a recent update with artist renderings that show revised, brick-clad plans for the school’s new Student-Athlete Performance Center.

The 115,000-square-foot expansion project would come at the northeast corner of the century-old stadium—now called Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field—in hopes of boosting Tech’s football program and other athletic teams.

It will rise in the footprint of the current (and concrete) Edge/Rice Center, Tech’s athletics headquarters, with a modified design versus what was initially envisioned three years ago.

The performance center will house areas for athlete strength and conditioning, sports medicine, nutrition, academic support, and Tech athletics’ Total Person Program.

Other facets will include expanded space specifically for Georgia Tech football, to include a football-only players’ lounge, meeting spaces, and strength-and-conditioning facilities. The upgrades are expected to boost recruiting, project officials have said.

Another component will be premium seating offered to Ramblin’ Wreck football fans and people attending other big events held at the stadium.  

“We are so excited about the SAPC, which will provide our student-athletes with the space and resources they need to excel at the highest level,” Batt wrote.

Athletics staff currently housed at the Edge/Rice Center will be moved to other buildings on campus (the Wardlaw Center and McCamish Pavilion Annex) to allow the performance center to be devoted exclusively to student athletes. Front Office Sports reported in 2022 the facility will cost roughly $82 million.

Construction is expected to coincide with normal operations at the stadium, which debuted in a smaller form in 1913.

According to Batt, the SAPC remains on schedule to open after the 2025 football season concludes.

Here's a look at how plans for the project started:

Apartment stack tops out near eastside MARTA station Josh Green Fri, 09/22/2023 - 14:28 The densest section of a huge Edgewood development expected to bring nearly 700 new housing units to the shadow of a MARTA station has topped out.

Called Hanover Edgewood, the 422-unit multifamily stack on La France Street is a joint venture between Hanover Company and GID Development Group. It broke ground in summer 2022 and erected its parking deck—tucked back from the street—earlier this year, standing one block east of the Edgewood-Candler Park MARTA station.

A corner section for retail is planned at the building's base, adding to commercial options that have popped up in former parking lots in the area.

Hanover Edgewood rents are expected to range from $1,650 to around $3,300 when the project opens next year, officials have said.

The apartments are part of a much larger project with two-dozen buildings in the pipeline that’s transforming 13.3 acres on Edgewood’s northern fringes—land that housed an Edwards Fine Foods factory for six decades. That sweet-smelling Schwan’s Company-owned facility was demolished last year.

National homebuilder Toll Brothers is continuing infrastructure work for a mix of residential uses that will consume the majority of that site on both sides of La France Street.

Toll Brothers officials told Urbanize Atlanta last spring that plans now call for 240 condos and townhomes at the Edgewood project—a reduction of 20 units from earlier plans. Sales are now expected to open in the summer of 2024, as opposed to early next year.

Plans still call for the for-sale condos and townhomes to range in price from $200,000 to $575,000, according to project reps. 

Infrastructure work continues across more than 13 acres at Toll Brother's section of the Edgewood site. La France Street recently reopened after being broken up to accommodate new infrastructure. Josh Green/Urbanize Atlanta

According to project filings, the scope of work will also include a protected bike lane on La France Street, a dog park, and at least two small publicly accessible greenspaces. About 900 parking spaces will be spread around the property.

All told, plans call for 24 separate buildings rising across the former industrial acreage. 

The infill venture will join more than 400 apartments built on former MARTA parking lots next door, continuing the densification of Edgewood’s northern blocks near transit options and other attractions such as the Edgewood Retail District and Pullman Yards. It also continues an intown push—from Brookhaven to East Point and many points between—to locate denser housing types within walking distance of MARTA stations. 

The former factory site is located immediately east of Columbia Ventures’ 208-unit Quill Apartments, the final component of MARTA’s 6.3-acre redevelopment of parking lots around the transit station, collectively called Edgewood Park.

That transit-oriented development also produced 224 apartments at the Spoke complex, offices, and food-and-beverage concepts Bona Fide Deluxe and Vin ATL, with a public park in the middle.

Gwinnett County greenlights $17B transit plan. Could there be hope? Josh Green Fri, 09/22/2023 - 08:10 Notoriously car-clogged Gwinnett County took an ambitious step this week toward giving its nearly 1 million citizens transportation options that don’t involve getting behind the wheel of personal vehicles.

But still, fans of regional transit expansion could be disheartened.

The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a $17 billion (yes, billion) transit expansion plan on Tuesday that would require buy-in from voters who’d be asked to fund the measure with a new penny sales tax, as the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

The package has been forwarded to the Atlanta-Region Transit Link Authority—or the ATL, the agency tasked with coordinating transit options across a 13-county area—for review.

Per Gwinnett’s transit strategy, Georgia’s second-most populous county would not see MARTA branching into the northeast OTP metro; that was one facet of transit referendums that failed in Gwinnett in both 2019 and 2020—the latter, a $12 billion plan, by a razor-thin margin.   

Instead, Gwinnett would make big bets on buses and microtransit, an on-demand, shared-service operating with shuttles and vans that allows people to order rides via phones and pay $3 per trip. Gwinnett currently operates microtransit but in a limited capacity.

As the AJC outlines, Gwinnett’s $17 billion transit boost would:

Expand microtransit by 2033 across the entire county.

Extend and reconfigure bus routes. Additions would include a bus-rapid-transit line from Doraville up to Lawrenceville, the county seat, and high-frequency buses elsewhere.

Create express bus routes from Snellville in southeast Gwinnett and Mall of Georgia in the far north down to Atlanta’s airport.

Allow transit services to operate on Sundays, which they currently don’t.

Add transfer facilities throughout Gwinnett.

Commissioners spent a year and ½ collecting community input and compiling the plan. One commissioner, Ben Ku, told the newspaper the broad goal is to create a scalable transit system that allows Gwinnettians to travel anywhere in the county without a car, setting a blueprint for suburban transit in the metro that could hoist Gwinnett onto “the world stage” when it comes to doing transit right.

While its growth rate isn’t comparable to much of the gangbusters 1980s and ’90s, Gwinnett still remains among the region's leaders in terms of adding population.

According to the Atlanta Regional Commission’s 2023 population estimates released last month, Gwinnett packed on another 13,510 people in the year ending in April, second only to Fulton County’s 18,500.

Gwinnett also finished second in terms of building permits issued for both single-family and multifamily homes (5,350 permits), trailing only the City of Atlanta (11,850).

The ARC pegs Gwinnett’s population today at about 997,000.

As a next step, the ATL transit authority will take several month to evaluate how Gwinnett’s ambitions align with the agency’s regional plan. Should the plan pass that bar, Gwinnett officials would have the option of placing the penny sales tax question for necessary funding on November 2024 ballots, during the next presidential election.

Is Gwinnett’s bus-and-shuttle transit plan a good start for fixing traffic and mobility woes? Is it a panacea? Will it be approved by the ATL? Time will tell.

Fresh renderings: Multifaceted project near Westside BeltLine progresses Josh Green Thu, 09/21/2023 - 16:09 A large-scale, multifaceted development is moving forward that could bring hundreds of more housing options a stone’s throw from the Atlanta BeltLine’s most recently completed trail extension.

A team of intown development heavyweights has filed paperwork with the city for Special Administrative Permits to begin work on a combination of townhomes, commercial space, and a multifamily apartment component in the historic Knight Park/Howell Station neighborhood west of Midtown.

The properties in question total about 6 and ½ acres off West Marietta Street, just east of the BeltLine’s Westside Trail. The land was recently sold by Mount Ephraim Baptist Church, which plans to relocate, according to SAP filings that show revised designs for all facets of the projects.

Trammell Crow Residential is handling the apartment and commercial component, dubbed Alexan Howell Station, while Empire Communities is pushing forward the company’s latest townhome build, Empire Howell Station, across the street from the church between 1060 and 1080 Rice Street.

The site in question encompasses an entire city block just north of the Knight Park greenspace, plus current parking lots across the street. Redeveloping the land would continue a trend that’s seen numerous churches across the city cash out and move on as land values have skyrocketed and developers’ appetites for large parcels have intensified—especially those located so close to the growing BeltLine loop.  

Filings indicate the properties have been rezoned this year to MR-3 (Rice Street) and MRC-2 designations for mixed uses in a BeltLine Overlay District.

The BeltLine’s inclusionary zoning rules meant to inject more attainable housing options near the trail are only applicable to the multifamily component.

Empire’s Rice Street plans call for a public plaza alongside 53 townhomes—40 of them three-bedroom units, the others with two bedrooms. It would also include 88 vehicle parking spaces on site (shy of the maximum 106) and the minimum required 12 bike parking spaces.

Earlier designs showed 56 townhomes potentially rising on site.

Alexan Howell Station, meanwhile, would rise at 1202 and 1192 West Marietta Street, consuming just shy of 3.9 acres.

Plans call for 300 apartments and 5,530 square feet of commercial space fronting Church Street, the latter expected to host a coffee shop or similar business that would help activate the Knight Park greenspace.

The unit breakdown calls for 41 studio apartments, 192 one-bedrooms, and 67 two-bedroom units. Some 400 parking spaces would be provided—in a deck at the center of the property and on-street—for both residential and commercial uses, alongside the minimum required 50 bike parking spaces, per the SAP paperwork.

TCR; Dwell Design Studio

Plans call for 46 of the apartments to qualify as affordable for tenants earning between 50 and 80 percent of the area’s median income.

That means studio rents would fall between $506 and $1,350 monthly, while the largest two-bedroom options would run between $651 and $1,735, according to developers' tabulations.

“Constructing multifamily homes on this parcel is consistent with the character of the area,” TCR reps noted in the SAP filings, “as well as produces much needed housing options for multiple income levels.”

Estimated completion for the apartment component is June 2025, according to SAP paperwork.

Underground Atlanta lands concept by Fishmonger, Paris on Ponce vets Josh Green Thu, 09/21/2023 - 14:01 Not all news coming out of downtown Atlanta these days involves scaled-back megaprojects or cancelled plans large and small.

Underground Atlanta officials send word today that beloved nightclub MJQ Concourse has begun renovations of the former Dante’s Down the Hatch space. What’s more, MJQ will be joining its former Ponce de Leon Avenue neighbor at the commercial, nightlife, and arts hub evolving around some of downtown’s oldest streets.

The partners behind Paris on Ponce, Skip Englebrecht and Nicolette Valdespino, plan to open a new Parisian-themed entertainment concept called Pigalle by Paris on Ponce on Friday, Oct. 6 at Underground, with a goal adding another layer to the historic retail district’s nightlife scene.

Pigalle is described as a mix of staged shows, cocktail lounge, and speakeasy that celebrates “bohemian pleasure, entertainment, and fashion.”

Bedecked with chandeliers and brothel vibes, it will occupy a 6,000-square-foot corner space on Lower Alabama Street, across from Future Showbar and Restaurant, that’s neighbored by art galleries. Atlanta old-timers might recall the space’s former life as Mick’s restaurant, an Underground classic.

Plans call for Valdespino to program Pigalle’s theater concept, while Englebrecht, who also owns lauded Fishmonger restaurants, will curate an absinthe-themed speakeasy hidden behind the theater space.

The goal is to adhere to Paris on Ponce’s whimsical, sexy French inspiration by incorporating aspects such as real gas lamps, servers in retro cabaret attire, a wraparound porch, gilded lamps, statues, leopard wallpaper, busts, chinoiserie, and no shortage of red-lit interiors, as preview photos of the space reveal.

The regal décor was amassed by Valdespino and Englebrecht during buying trips overseas and from estates around Georgia, including pieces from Coretta Scott and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s home, according to Underground reps.

The speakeasy section will include a 33-foot bar. Chef Darryl Taylor—owner of Epicurean Drama and a veteran of Next Level Chef—is onboard to provide food for Pigalle’s grand opening and occasional catered brunches on Sundays.

Other programming calls for speakeasy nights for members on Mondays, Tiki Thursdays, chanteuse Fridays, and ticketed jazz, cabaret, and burlesque theater shows on Saturdays.  

It’s been nearly four years since a major fire forced Paris on Ponce from its longtime, BeltLine-fronting space in a Virginia-Highland warehouse chockfull of fun antiques, makers’ wares, and the sultry entertainment and events section. More recently Paris on Ponce operated at downtown’s historic Healey Building, continuing a business in Atlanta that dates back more than 25 years.

Pigalle by Paris on Ponce/Underground Atlanta

Valdespino predicts the Underground space will be the concept’s permanent home.

“Almost every Atlanta native has a story that begins with Underground Atlanta,” Valdespino said in today’s announcement. “To us, there was no better setting for our next location … a place that fosters unique synergies between creatives and artists… We’re so honored and thrilled to be a part of it all.”

Other concepts at Underground include the Masquerade music complex; Atlanta Comedy Theatre; indoor-outdoor restaurant Daiquiriville; YELLE Beauty; Dancing Crepes; Dolo’s Pizza Co., old-timey ice cream parlor iScream Ice Cream; Common Grounds Coffee Shop; Arts & Entertainment Atlanta; and Fulton County’s Public Arts Future Lab, an artist residency funded by Microsoft.

Added Shaneel Lalani, CEO of Underground owner Lalani Ventures: “Pigalle is the perfect example of the unique kinds of tenants we’re looking for. Its cultural relevance in Atlanta will blend perfectly with our current and future tenants.”

80 more townhomes officially moving forward in Kirkwood Josh Green Thu, 09/21/2023 - 08:13 An intown homebuilder with active development sites and finished communities across Atlanta is preparing to start its third major project on Memorial Drive.

Officials with Empire Communities tell Urbanize Atlanta they’ve recently closed on the former Stanton Grove Baptist Church and adjacent properties at 2011 and 2015 Memorial Drive, totaling about 3 and ½ acres.

Empire’s plans call for breaking ground in the next couple of weeks on 81 townhomes following demolition of existing structures, adding to a stock of hundreds of new townhomes in the pipeline now or recently developed along the Memorial Drive corridor.

A yellow farmhouse near the front of the property, facing Memorial Drive, will be retained, according to developers.

Situated where Kirkwood meets the Parkview neighborhood, the deep site will be home to two and three-bedroom townhomes, but few other details are known at this point. It’s too early in the development process for renderings, building timelines, or pricing to be released, project leaders said.

Empire also developed the rainbow-hued Paintbox community directly across the street.

The acreage in question was annexed into the City of Atlanta in 2021, and the property was later rezoned to the same designation (MR-3) that applied to the Paintbox project, which also replaced a church.

Empire officials said this week they participated in more than seven meetings, collaborated with Kirkwood Neighbors Organization, and worked with adjacent property owners before applying for the rezoning.

KNO leadership previously told Urbanize Atlanta the neighborhood governing board stressed to Empire the Memorial Drive venture should be both walkable and safe for cyclists, environmentally sustainable with shade, greenspace, and native plantings, and respectful of neighboring tree canopies and connections to the broader community.

Signage at the Memorial Drive site also indicates custom homebuilders Home + Made are moving forward with a residential project on an adjacent property near the street. Company leaders have not responded to inquiries seeking more information on what those plans entail.

Elsewhere along Memorial Drive, Empire previously developed a single-family home community called Bixton across the street from Drew Charter School.

Empire’s latest eastside endeavor continues the trend of church congregations around Atlanta selling off land and former sanctuaries as property values skyrocket—and as housing supply remains tight.

Along with Paintbox’s former church land, examples include two more houses of worship a few blocks east on Memorial that were razed for dense standalone homes. Both of those projects are under construction now.

Half a dozen blocks in the other direction, to the west, Urban Realty Partners is underway with vertical construction on more than 100 townhomes along Clifton Street, a route toward East Atlanta. That project is replacing the former Gospel Tabernacle Cathedral, which had been damaged by fire and vacant for years.

Images: Serenity project ready for closeup in downtown Hapeville Josh Green Wed, 09/20/2023 - 16:17 Another significant residential bet on Hapeville has come to market in recent weeks, blending what’s billed as urban walkability with a peaceful setting and artistic bent.

The initial phase of the Serenity project has claimed a formerly vacant lot at the intersection of S. Central Avenue and Colville Avenue, on the northwestern end of Hapeville’s historic core near Interstate 85.

Artisan Built Communities, an Acworth-based company with more than 1,000 homes under its belt in way-OTP places like Dallas and Villa Rica, is building the 25-townhome project at 907 Willingham Drive, adding housing options to what’s considered Hapeville’s de factor Main Street corridor.

Plans call for six buildings overall—five with four townhomes each and another with five—designed to create a sense of intimacy, per Artisan reps.

All Serenity townhomes with have three bedrooms and three bathrooms, with between 1,950 and 2,015 square feet (the difference being a fireplace), project reps told Urbanize Atlanta last year.

Current listing prices range from $499,200 to just shy of $524,000.

One unique touch—meant to reflect Hapeville’s reputation as a burgeoning artist hub—will be original works by local artists around the Serenity property, per project officials. Open greenspace and trails connecting the six buildings have also been called perks.

Hapeville has experienced a groundswell of residential development, in addition to new food and beverage attractions such as Arches Brewing and Thai restaurant Paper Plane (the latter replacing a defunct gas station), in recent years.

Projects under construction include 68 rental townhomes being developed by BCDC and North and Central Ventures on Hapeville’s main drag. Around the corner from that site, Epic Development is building 58 standalone houses for a project called Stillwood. And Texas-based D.R. Horton, the nation’s largest homebuilder, purchased 8.3 acreslast year between Hapeville’s commercial core and the airport, with plans to build roughly 110 townhomes.

Farther east on Central Avenue, a mixed-use project called Signal with more than 300 new residential units has also come together—directly across the railroad tracks from Porsche’s expanded North America Headquarters.

As for Serenity, developers point to the fact downtown Atlanta is seven miles from the site. Project officials have also cited Porsche’s facilities, Delta Air Lines’ headquarters, and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport as reasons to live there.

In the gallery above, find a closer look at how the project has come together so far.

In Avondale Estates, parkside retail, restaurant row to break ground Josh Green Wed, 09/20/2023 - 14:17 A mixed-use project that would bring more active uses to Avondale Estate’s award-winning downtown park is expected to move forward soon.

City officials report The Dale, a 24,000-square-foot commercial development, is poised to break ground in the fourth quarter of 2023 alongside the city’s Town Green, consuming a corner where North Avondale Road meets Lake Street.

The development team of Healey Weatherholtz Properties and Fabric Developers has designed The Dale as two adjacent, two-story buildings overlooking the park, next to a versatile new open-air Market Pavilion space at the opposite corner. The goal is to create a vibrant restaurant and retail row that would complement the greenspace.

Plans at The Dale call for at least two restaurants—one with a rooftop bar and event space overlooking the park from the second story. Just west of Avondale’s existing downtown, retail spaces would front North Avondale Road.

Other second-floor spaces would be reserved for tenants such as coworking or office spaces.

Another component of The Dale will be public restroom facilities that will be open whenever the Town Green is.

Avondale Estates officials also relayed via X/Twitter to Urbanize Atlanta that the city's Complete Street project in the area is expected to be bid out soon, with construction tentatively scheduled for early 2024. That will reduce traffic lanes on East College Avenue/North Avondale Road from five to three; a multimodal path will also be added, stretching from Sams Crossing to past Clarendon Avenue in the heart of downtown Avondale.

In related news, the Town Green project recently won the Urban Land Institute of Atlanta Award of Excellence in the Public Realm category.

That accolade honors cities and organizations that “elevate parks and urban space developments that have been instrumental in fostering connectivity and promoting healthy, sustainable, and equitable outcomes in communities,” per Atlanta's ULI.

Avondale Estates has also garnered recent headlines for being crowned the “Best Small Town Beer Scene” in America for the third year running, as determined by USA Today reader votes, and for being named to Opendoor’s top 15 most family friendly cities in the U.S. roundup.

Mozley Park wall quest; Centennial Yards switch; Underground housing Josh Green Wed, 09/20/2023 - 08:24 MOZLEY PARK—An interesting grassroots movement is afoot in historic, award-winning Mozley Park right now, where residents are advocating for a “Five Mile Project” that would erect a sound barrier along Interstate 20 they feel would keep traffic noise, environmental hazards, and errant vehicles (!) out, enhancing quality of life for the Westside community.

Capital B Atlanta has thoroughly explored in stories this month why the neighborhood’s unprotected I-20 frontage is a pressing concern today, why the Georgia Department of Transportation seems entrenched in its opinion that building a sound barrier won’t be possible anytime soon (only freshly widened or improved highways can see funding for protective-wall measures, apparently), and what elected officials serving Mozley Park plan to do next.

As of this writing, the Five Mile Project’s change.org petition was 24 signatures shy of its current goal.

Mozley Park resident Devin Landers, one of the project’s spearheads and a teacher at nearby KIPP Atlanta Collegiate, tells Urbanize Atlanta the change.org push might be an informality, but backers hope it will provide “further documentation to present to the powers that be.”

…

DOWNTOWN—Bisnow Atlanta recently served up a couple of tasty downtown tidbits relating to two blockbuster redevelopment projects still moving forward in the historic area.

The first involves $5-billion megaproject Centennial Yards, where developer Centennial Yards Company president Brian McGowan said ambitious plans for three new office towers have been put “on ice” indefinitely as interest from huge tech companies has cooled—if not cratered. On a similar note, as McGowan told a recent Bisnow summit, Centennial Yards’ empty, historic 99 Ted Turner Drive building (immediately north of Wild Leap’s brewery, formerly home to Norfolk Southern offices) will not be converted into offices as planned, but possibly more apartments or a boutique hotel. (For a peek inside, see our tour of the gutted but rock-solid property from two years ago.)

In other downtown housing news, Underground Atlanta owner Lalani Ventures hopes to begin a residential conversion at the 34 Peachtree Street tower—a 30-story, 300,000-square-foot building overlooking Woodruff Park, about two blocks north of Underground—sometime next year, provided that financing markets improve. CEO Shaneel Lalani told Bisnow plans call for remaking 20 floors of the 1960s structure into 200 rentals. Lalani’s firm bought the mostly vacant building for $12.75 million two years ago.

…

MARIETTA STREET ARTERY—New York-based developer Tishman Speyer’s track record of walking away from its grand Atlanta development proposals is continuing in West Midtown. The Atlanta Business Chronicle reports Tishman Speyer has withdrawn plans that surfaced last year to replace longstanding nightclub Compound and an adjacent property along Brady Avenue with a titanic mixed-use development costing upwards of $700 million.

Tishman Speyer pulled a similar about-face with The Mall West End’s potential redevelopment in 2021 and the Atlanta Civic Center property last summer.

While unstable markets and a tough lending outlook likely didn’t help, Tishman Speyer’s specific reasoning for dropping its Brady Avenue vision—700 apartments, 50,000 square feet of retail, and 300,000 square feet of offices—isn’t yet clear, the newspaper reports. But all hope isn’t lost for the 3-acre site, as a joint venture between Austin-based Aquila Commercial and veteran Atlanta developer Carter Properties is looking to redevelopment the properties to a similar scale: 706 rentals, 58,000 square feet of commercial space, plus a 135-room hotel, which would be positioned where Brady Avenue meets 10th Street, per the ABC.

That same development duo is moving forward with a 312-unit apartment tower nearby in the 900 block of Howell Mill Road.

Photos: How Echo Street West's timber-built office piece turned out Josh Green Tue, 09/19/2023 - 15:20 Three years after English Avenue’s largest private investment in decades broke ground, construction is all but complete on major components of the $265-million first phase.

Dallas-based developer Lincoln Property Company most recently delivered the initial office component at Echo Street West, a 19-acre, village-like project that’s taken shape along the BeltLine’s connecting trail between downtown and Westside Park.

Constructed with cross-laminated timber, the four-story, 300,000-square-foot office building is called 765 Echo. Lincoln officials have described it as Atlanta’s first spec exterior core office building, erected with timber that reduces carbon emissions and lends a more unique feel versus traditional construction materials.

As pictured with recent drone photography as part of our aerial tours series, other features of the building include 15 to 20-foot windows, 360-degree views from core-free floors, and 29,000 square feet of tenant balconies large enough for social gatherings, fitness classes, and conferencing, per the developer. It’s surrounded by a variety greenspaces, hangout areas, and nature trails.

Beside the main office structure, a retail outbuilding and two-story, 21,273-square-foot creative office building called 745 Echo have also been built.

We’ve asked Lincoln reps for an update on office and retail leasing at Echo Street West and will post any additional information that comes. In the meantime, peep a virtual interior tour of 765 Echo here.

In April, project officials said Guardian Studios—a former factory warehouse turned artist community on site—has fully leased its 31 studios to a variety of local artists, with mediums ranging from photography to custom upholstery and mural-painting.

The BeltLine retail frontage is expected to span 25,000 square feet, adding to 50,000 total square feet in Echo Street’s phase one. That includes adaptive-reuse Westside Motor Lounge, a food-and-beverage hub that’s been open since last fall along Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway. 

Above the BeltLine retail is the 292-unit Vibe apartments, with 59 homes reserved as affordable housing, per developers.

Future phases—all TBD—call for a hotel component, plus more retail, residential, and offices, according to Lincoln.

In related news, a job fair is scheduled from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday at Westside Motor Lounge (725 Echo St. NW) where Lincoln reps say commercial real estate companies will be looking to hire residents of Westside communities.

Participating companies will include Lincoln, DPR Construction, ServPro, Merit Construction Company, LAZ Parking, Allied Universal, Roof Partners, and others.

The event is being put on by the Echo Street West Partnership, which Lincoln formed several years ago to “build a relational bridge to the English Avenue and nearby West Atlanta neighborhoods by making investments of time, talents and other resources,” per company officials.

Positions available at Saturday’s job fair include: construction laborer, electrician, plumber, equipment operator, roofer, welder, drywall installer, site foreman, property maintenance, landscape care, HVAC operator, and other jobs. Organizers note that attendees should dress professionally and bring multiple resume copies, but no experience is required to apply.

Newish community where Midtown meets Buckhead sniffs sellout Josh Green Tue, 09/19/2023 - 13:26 A brick-clad community positioned where Midtown meets Buckhead is stepping up the sales push for its last available home roughly six years after the boutique project broke ground.

Once upon a time, the 28th at Brookwood project’s 23 residences were expected to be delivered in late 2018, with price tags starting in the mid-$700,000s. Like those prices, delivery expectations have fluctuated as homebuilders have come and gone.

With 18 townhomes and five freestanding, detached homes and duplexes in a similar style, the Brookwood/Ardmore project is tucked off Peachtree Road near the restaurant row that includes R. Thomas’ and what used to be Uncle Julio’s but is currently a construction site.

The lone remaining new-construction option at 28th at Brookwood is a duplex plan called The Cornell, or homesite 15.

It’s offering four bedrooms and three and ½ bathrooms in about 2,614 square feet for $874,900.

All options are four stories with four sides of brick, spanning up to 3,081 square feet, in a location once marketed as “one of Atlanta’s most desirable neighborhoods.” In-unit perks include Viking stainless steel appliances, 10-foot ceilings on the main level, and rooftop terraces with gas fireplaces. Some homes included elevators.

Listings note the community’s proximity to shops and eateries along Peachtree, plus walkability to Tanyard Creek Park and, by extension, the BeltLine’s Northwest Trail, which finalized its route for construction last year.

The 28th at Brookwood project was started by Rockhaven Homes, a largely suburban homebuilder that’s also built more affordable neighborhoods on Atlanta’s southside. The project was later featured on Monte Hewett Homes' website. Today, Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty is handling sales and marketing.

First look: Behold the standalone parking deck rising in Summerhill Josh Green Tue, 09/19/2023 - 08:09 Put the speculation to rest, because exactly what’s rising next to Georgia State University’s new Convocation Center has come to light.

Visible from nearby interstates and many points south, the new standalone parking garage is quickly stacking up over Fulton Street, claiming a vacant lot immediately west of the Convocation Center. Project leaders have confirmed the parking structure will ultimately stand six stories—and they’ve supplied the lone available rendering to prove it.

GSU officials confirmed in August the new structure will be used for parking but provided no other details. Construction began earlier this summer.

The Beck Group is serving as design-builder for the parking deck project. A company spokesperson tells Urbanize Atlanta the standalone deck is scheduled to be completed in May, offering 896 parking spaces on the neighborhood’s northern fringe.

While the project certainly won’t be competing in the next incarnation of Atlanta's Worst Parking Garage Tournament, it has drawn the ire of some Summerhill residents and other intown development observers who feel the blank-slate site could have been remade into a more active use, especially in such a visible location where transit accessibility should only increase in coming years.

The parking deck is a facet of the arena not included in original project renderings, which caught some passersby by surprise as to what the rising project actually is.

The $85-million Convocation Center broke ground on 6 vacant acres in late 2020 and began hosting events a year ago, with capacity for 7,300 spectators for men’s and women’s basketball games, and up to 8,000 for concerts. Today, parking for the facility is staged in GSU’s Blue lot, located across the street to the south.

Beyond GSU basketball games, the 200,000-square-foot facility is designed to host graduations, concerts, and other events, such as esports tourneys.

The Summerhill facility was hailed by GSU as an upgrade from its former sports arena downtown, which opened in 1972 with a max capacity of 3,500 seats.

Standalone parking structures aren’t as common in Atlanta as they used to be, but they still get built.

One high-profile example is Emory Healthcare’s 3,000-space deck that opened on West Peachtree Street two years ago, although that differs from GSU’s project in that it’s mostly screened and includes retail space at the base.

Another case that could qualify as eye-catching (apologies, urbanists) is found at Selig’s The Works warehouse redevelopment, where the Smith Dalia Architects-designed parking garage includes geometric screening that becomes more dramatic with up-lighting at night.
