Development Team Revamping Historic Charlotte-Area Hotel
Development Team Revamping Historic Charlotte-Area Hotel
The developers behind the Empire Hotel are embarking on a $25 million remake of the building. The project calls for redeveloping 100,000 square feet at 228 S. Main St. Upon full buildout, the project will include 38 residences, a 35-room boutique hotel and possibly a steakhouse. Iron Horse Development is heading up the project in Salisbury, 20 miles north of Charlotte.
The Charlotte Business Journal reports the first phase of the project will be named Empire Row, which includes two row homes and seven full-floor lofts. The residences will be for rent and then sold after five years. The project will be built in three phases.
The Empire Hotel opened in 1859 and was remodeled in 1907. The hotel was then permanently closed in 1963.
Iron Horse Development says it focuses on historic buildings and the acquisition, entitlement, design and development of small—to medium-sized multifamily projects with 2 to 50 units.

Windsor Stevens Obtains Construction Loan for Atlanta Mixed-Income Project
Windsor Stevens has raised $56 million for a multifamily development on Atlanta’s Westside. The Proctor, located at 698 Oliver St. NW, will have 137 residential units, 41 of which will be affordable.
The 41 affordable units will be in a Class A luxury mixed-income, mixed-use property building, serving households earning at or below 80% of the area median income. These units will be designated for AH’s Housing Choice Voucher recipients for at least 30 years.
The project units will average 813 square feet, and the building will also include 10,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. Development at The Proctor will be funded by various public and private partners, including a $4.1 million investment by Atlanta Housing. Other investment partners include a $26.1 million loan from Goldman Sachs, AUDC, Basis, and Rod Mullice and a $3.2 million Invest Atlanta TAD Grant.

West Shore Scores $533M Refi on 9 SE Properties
West Shore, with the help of Newmark, refinanced nine Class A, Garden-style multifamily properties across the Sunbelt.

The latest incarnation of the formerly abandoned, 1890 Atlanta Pipe and Foundry Company terminal building along Inman Park’s stretch of the Beltline is set to debut Monday.
Painted Park, a dining and entertainment concept with an inventive way of tapping into the Beltline’s popular Eastside Trail, has finished construction in the former Brasserie and Neighborhood Cafe at Parish space at 240 N. Highland Avenue.
Described as a “recreational place of assembly, greenspace, and a private events venue,” the adults-only Painted Park marks the fourth entertainment-focused venture for Atlanta-based Painted Hospitality.
The concept includes a new tunnel designed to safely shuffle patrons between its outdoor lawn hangout space and the main building, beneath a driveway preserved for condos next door. That “park” space, screened by landscaping from sweaty joggers, features a gazebo bar, fire pits, and outdoor TVs.
Elsewhere, expect a new building addition overlooking the Eastside Trail, a lower-level gaming parlor, two interior bars, a dance floor, a floating DJ booth, and two covered patios.
The menu by Thomas Collins, Painted Hospitality’s executive chef, leans into snackable foods such as nostalgic sandwiches, frites, bowls, salads, and weekend brunch.
Justin Amick, Painted Hospitality president and CEO, describes the location as being among the best on the Eastside Trail—and a full-circle opportunity, in that he and several employees were part of the Concentrics Restaurants team owned by his family that opened Parish 15 years ago.
Initial plans called for opening Painted Park in January, and then June.

In April, Painted Hospitality debuted another concept in a converted old building that will eventually be a stone’s throw from the mainline Beltline loop.
The Painted Pickle claimed warehouse space at 279 Ottley Drive in Armour Yards, a former industrial district near the Northeast Trail (see interior photos here.) The company also operates the Painted Pin in Buckhead and the Painted Duck in West Midtown.
Painted Park will be 21 and over at all times (sorry, kiddos), and the outdoor park portion will close Sunday to Thursday at 9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday at 10 p.m. to be respectful of neighbors, according to Painted Hospitality.
Hours for the interior portion: Monday to Thursday, 5 p.m. to midnight; Friday, 3 p.m. to 2 a.m.; Saturday 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.; and Sunday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Head up to the gallery for a closer look at what’s in store for Inman Park.

The world recognizes Atlanta as a mecca for college football and colossal events such as the Centennial Olympic Games and multiple Super Bowls. But the ATL as a baseball powerhouse?
That appears to be the case, according to an in-depth analysis by personal finance website WalletHub, released as the 2024 World Series approaches.
According to the 2024 Best Baseball Cities study, Atlanta ranks fourth overall and third among large cities—or those with populations greater than 300,000—when it comes to enjoying great baseball experiences for reasonable prices at NCAA, Minor League (MiLB), and MLB levels.
The top two finishers—New York (No.1) and Los Angeles, respectively—just happen to be playing each other in this year’s World Series. St. Louis finished third, meanwhile, among more than 330 cities studied across the U.S.
Cities analyzed have at least one college or professional baseball team. The findings apply to actual cities (the Braves technically play with an Atlanta address) and not metro areas.
Atlanta shined when it comes to the recent performance of MLB teams, with the Braves and their home city—and 2021 World Series title, followed by a wild parade—finishing No. 1 in that category.
That metric, it should be noted, was calculated by dividing the number of wins by the total number of games played over the past three MLB seasons, per WalletHub.
Another highpoint for Atlanta (No. 4 overall) came in the category of MLB fan engagement. Cringingly or not, that measured the number of MLB teams’ Facebook likes and Twitter followers per capita.
Atlanta also fared well, relatively speaking, when it comes to the average price of an MLB game.
Here’s how Atlanta stacked up against more than 300 other cities:
Baseball Fandom in Atlanta (1=Best; 167=Avg.):
1st – Performance level of MLB team(s)
64th – Performance level of MiLB team(s)
101st – Performance level of college baseball team(s)
15th – Avg. ticket price for MLB game
27th – Min. season ticket price for MiLB game
108th – Min. season ticket price for college baseball game
4th – MLB fan engagement
88th – MiLB fan engagement
187th – College-baseball fan engagement
Sources for the study included the NCAA, U.S. Census Bureau, MLB Advanced Media, Minor League Baseball, and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, among other resources, per WalletHub.
Several other Georgia cities also made the cut, including Statesboro (115), Kennesaw (136), Athens (155), Macon (180), Rome (270), and Augusta (294). Curiously, Lawrenceville—home of the AAA Gwinnett Stripers—is absent from the list.
Here’s a quick look at the top 15 baseball towns in America right now, according to WalletHub’s findings:

Sources for the study included the NCAA, U.S. Census Bureau, MLB Advanced Media, Minor League Baseball, and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, among other resources, per WalletHub.
Several other Georgia cities also made the cut, including Statesboro (115), Kennesaw (136), Athens (155), Macon (180), Rome (270), and Augusta (294). Curiously, Lawrenceville—home of the AAA Gwinnett Stripers—is absent from the list.
Here’s a quick look at the top 15 baseball towns in America right now, according to WalletHub’s findings:

Developer: New apartment building over I-75 renting like crazy

Anyone who’s driven Interstate 75 between Midtown and Vinings recently may have noticed the white-painted stack of apartments and glass-walled amenities lording over the freeway near Howell Mill Road.
According to project developers, plenty of new renters have taken note as well.
Five months after it debuted, the 212-unit The Howell project is exceeding leasing expectations for its apartments as its street-level retail space has also been filled, according to developers SHR Resi, a subsidiary of commercial real estate firm Songy Highroads.
More than 50 percent of the building’s units have been rented, while Athens-based, high-end salon Sugar Polish Nail Bar has signed on to take the building’s 3,000 square feet of retail at ground level, project officials report this week. (As an incentive, the building is currently offering up to two and ½ months of free rent through mid-November.)
The lease-up rate, according to SHR Resi, is ahead of market expectations, despite no shortage of competition farther south on Howell Mill Road and in nearby Midtown. But the location is also unique, in that no other sizable, luxury-grade multifamily project has delivered in the northern reaches of booming Howell Mill Road (with its quick interstate access and Buckhead proximity) during the current development cycle.
“We knew the Upper Westside was primed for a project like this, but the early response from residents and high-quality retailers has surpassed even our own projections,” Todd W. Nocerini, a Songy Highroads founding partner, said in a project update Wednesday.
The Howell’s 2.65-acre parcel constitutes the northwest corner of Howell Mill Road’s intersection with Interstate 75, a highly visible location in Buckhead’s Collier Village section. It broke ground there in summer 2022.
Apartments ranging from one to three bedrooms count nine to 12-foot ceilings, with quartz countertops and walk-in closets, and some offer balconies described as oversized, per developers.
The least expensive unit listed to date—one bedroom and one bathroom in 664 square feet—is renting for $1,890 monthly.
Meanwhile, The Howell’s priciest options start at $3,941 monthly (though none of those are currently available). That rents three bedrooms and three bathrooms in 1,488 square feet.
A distinguishing feature of the building is its open-air resident lounge on the seventh floor, with sweeping views of Midtown and downtown skylines, according to SHR Resi.
Other perks include coworking space, a resort-style pool and deck with cabanas overlooking the interstate, a clubhouse, pet run, and pet spa. Gables Residential is The Howell’s on-site management company.
Quick access to neighborhoods such as Wildwood and Springlake—and entry into Buckhead’s Morris Brandon Elementary School district—are also cited as locational perks.
The Howell’s largest three-bedroom floorplans start at nearly $4,000 monthly—but they’re all currently rented. thehowellatl.com

Prior to becoming apartments, the site is where Atlanta’s first food truck park operated for a decade, before closing in late 2021 and uprooting with a tweaked concept to Jonesboro.
