Over the next month, metro Atlantans can play an important role in helping shape the future of transit across this growing region, according to MARTA officials.
MARTA has scheduled more than 30 chances for the general public to weigh in on the agency’s draft NextGen Bus Network plan, a far-reaching, multi-county effort to provide thousands of more Atlantans with streamlined, modernized, and more efficient bus services.
The series of in-person and virtual meetings kick off with an open house at 10 a.m. Saturday at MARTA’s headquarters in South Buckhead.
Other meetings this month will be dotted across the metro, from Alpharetta and Decatur to the City of South Fulton.
The NextGen Bus Network plan is described as a strategic redesign of more than 100 bus routes across metro Atlanta’s “rapidly changing landscape.” MARTA’s goal is to make its bus system faster and smarter—prioritizing access to jobs, education, essential services, and communal hubs— as the region evolves, per officials.
One new feature would be 12 on-demand service zones—dotted across metro counties—that would extend bus routes into lower-density areas MARTA doesn’t currently reach.
Under the draft plan, all bus routes and on-demand zones would see service seven days a week. That would eliminate “peak-only service hours to meet riders’ diverse schedules,” per MARTA.

Some other NextGen Bus Network highlights, according to a breakdown provided this week by MARTA:
- Expanding frequent service areas from five corridors to 18, making it easier for riders to reach destinations;
- Increasing 20-minute service routes from nine existing routes to 13 planned routes for shorter wait times and quicker trips;
- Streamlining fixed bus routes from 113 to 79 to create a simpler and more navigable network, with minimal impact on current service areas;
- Offering greater accessibility for residents and workers, with 95,000 more people and 103,000 additional jobs within close reach of frequent transit service that runs every 15 minutes or better. (Additionally, 143,200 more residents will have access to service running every 30 minutes or better.)
Public engagement events will conclude with another open house at MARTA headquarters on Saturday, Feb. 22. In between will be a variety of in-person options, plus virtual meetings that include “lunch and learn” sessions designed to accommodate midday, work-week schedules, per MARTA.
According to MARTA, public comments and insights collected through the period of meetings and events will refine the NextGen Bus Network plan.
Below is a rundown of the first week of public meetings. Find a complete schedule (and RSVP) right here.

MARTA has also created an online survey to collect public feedback, which will be open through March 9.

Plans for big Blandtown build near Beltline come into clearer focus

Plans for big Blandtown build near Beltline come into clearer focus

Filings made this month at the state level paint a clearer picture of what a sizable development could bring to a growing area west of Midtown—and when.
The mixed-use Blandtown project, called Huber West Midtown, would deliver nearly 850 multifamily units across 9 acres on several properties spanning between 1575 and 1593 Huber St.
The site is adjacent to active railroad lines, just east of Topgolf Atlanta, Ellsworth Industrial Boulevard, and businesses such as Scope Fine Art and Steady Hand Beer Co. A new segment of the Atlanta Beltline’s 22-mile loop is under construction roughly a block south.
Early this month, Atlanta-based companies Columbia Ventures and Radco filed plans for Huber West Midtown with the Georgia Department of Community Affairs for consideration as a Development of Regional Impact—that is, a project potentially large enough to impact multiple jurisdictions in the city.
State officials later determined the project, which calls for 845 apartments overall, warrants a review by the Atlanta Regional Commission.
According to that paperwork, Huber West Midtown would rise in two phases—with roughly half of the units built in each phase.
Those filings also clarify the project would see retail uses—about 20,000 square feet, max.

The outlook calls for completing the initial phase in 2029 and the full project two years later, according to the DRI filing. A Radco official recently told Bisnow Atlanta that Huber West Midtown design plans are still tentative for a site that’s home to two warehouses now, with one of them departing at the end of this year. Radco has been assembling the required parcels for about two years, per the website.
Plans submitted to the City of Atlanta Zoning Committee last month indicated each Huber West Midtown building would stand up to seven stories. Developers have asked the zoning committee to rezone the site from a heavy industrial designation (I-2) to one that would allow mixed residential and commercial uses (MRC-3).
Columbia officials told Urbanize Atlanta last month the proposal would include 85 affordable units, capped at 60 percent of the area median income.
The average size of apartments overall would be 745 square feet, according to plans filed with the city’s zoning committee.
Elsewhere, 845 parking spaces (one per unit) would be included, while 100 total bike-storage spaces would also be provided in parking decks, according to plans compiled by Dynamik Design architects.

Columbia’s recent portfolio includes the Citizen apartment building on the Eastside Trail in Old Fourth Ward, and the mixed-use transformation of formerly underused MARTA parking lots in Edgewood, where more than 350 apartments now stand.
Radco, a real estate firm for 30 years in Atlanta, partnered with Columbia on the Citizen project and counts projects such as Reynoldstown’s Gibson by Radius and Midtown’s The M by Radius in its portfolio.
Generally speaking, the Blandtown area in question is set to be Beltline-connected in less than a year, but the Huber Street project will have no direct link to the trail by street.
Northwest Trail—Segment 5 has encountered unexpected complications with utility infrastructure but remains on pace to be open sometime this fall, according to Atlanta Beltline Inc.

That .7-mile section, which begins where the Westside Trail ends at Marietta Boulevard and Huff Road, broke ground in May. Once completed, the Northwest Trail will provide an off-street connection between Blandtown, residential Buckhead, and the Lindbergh area.
Another multi-use trail project near the Huber West Midtown site, PATH Foundation’s Silver Comet Connector, broke ground early last year just west of Topgolf and Ellsworth Industrial Boulevard.
Should it move forward as planned, Huber West Midtown would continue a Blandtown building boom that’s packed on hundreds of apartments, townhomes, and standalone houses alongside new entertainment and dining options in recent years.

Charlotte Developer Gets Go-Ahead for Office Conversion
Charlotte Developer Gets Go-Ahead for Office Conversion
Childress Klein has been greenlighted to convert a Charlotte office complex into a mixed-use project. The company was granted a rezoning by the towns City Council on the Esplanade at SouthPark from office to a zoning classification that will allow up to 675 multifamily units and 277,000 square feet of office space.
That number includes 77,000 square feet of existing office space, according to the site plan.
The Charlotte Business Journal reports Childress Klein acquired the 213,000-square-foot office property at 2101 Rexford Road, in June 2023 for $31 million. The development was built in 1982 and renovated in 2015.
The development site includes Rexford Park II, a 77,000-square-foot office building at 2115 Rexford Road. That building will remain.
The new project is expected to include four total buildings, as well as outdoor amenity areas and green space.

Three years after it was announced for a Peachtree Road corner with low-rise retail and parking lots, a rare new Atlanta condominium building is flirting with sellout status, though the paint is barely dry.
The Dillon Buckhead, billed as the submarket’s only option for new condos right now, wrapped construction in November and started moving in residents just before the holidays. More than 100 condos have since closed.
Of the 144 condo options in the highly amenitized building, just a dozen remain unsold now, according to brokers with Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty Intown. That translates to well over $200 million in sales overall.

Work on the 18-story building—the second Atlanta project for Palm Beach-based developer Kolter Urban—kicked off with demolition of the low-rise structures at 2425 Peachtree Road in summer 2022. Throughout the construction process, sellers credited the building’s abundance of amenities and location for making it a hot commodity. Some units have traded for astronomical numbers by Atlanta standards, such as a top-floor penthouse with 3,700 square feet that was listed for more than $4 million.
So far, most buyers at The Dillon have been downsizing from larger single-family homes and seeking an amenitized, low-maintenance lifestyle in a walkable location, sellers have told Urbanize Atlanta.
Remaining condos start at $999,000. That buys a foot-in-the-door Landmark floorplan with two bedrooms (described as “dual masters”) and two and ½ bathrooms in 1,474 square feet.
The priciest, most baller option left on the open market seeks $2.1 million. That’ll fetch three bedrooms (with den) and three and ½ bathrooms in 2,249 square feet. (Another consideration with that condo: $1,200 monthly HOA fees.)
The Dillon’s perks include concierge services, a formal clubroom with a catering kitchen, a dog park, pool deck, outdoor yoga terrace, a speakeasy, a media room with a game simulator, and a pickleball court.
An indoor-outdoor section called The Hub offers both private and semi-private workspaces for the WFH set, plus a conference room. Elsewhere, some condos are being held as guest suites, officials have said.

Nearby on Peachtree Road, Kolter Urban’s first foray into the Atlanta market, the 22-story Graydon Buckhead, saw condo prices begin at $1.7 million and climb to nearly $9 million for a penthouse covering the full top floor before the building sold out.
Like The Dillon, the 47-unit Graydon remains a relative anomaly in terms of Atlanta multifamily ventures the past decade. It marked the largest intown condo project between Buckhead Village’s The Charles and the 279-unit Seven88 West Midtown tower on West Marietta Street in recent years.
Kolter Urban purchased the Dillon’s required three parcels—located next to the Peachtree Battle Promenade shopping center, home to Whitehall Tavern and a Publix—in 2021 for $16.5 million. To the immediate south, roughly half of the historic book bindery building, formerly home to Peachtree Battle Antiques and Interiors, has been preserved, including the brick house-like structure that fronts Peachtree.

Now, the developer is hoping the third time will be a charm with another, more centrally located condo tower on West Paces Ferry Road, near Buckhead Village. That 19-story proposal, which first emerged in late 2024, would have the highest unit count (198 condos) of any Kolter Urban project in Atlanta to date.

Three years after it was announced for a Peachtree Road corner with low-rise retail and parking lots, a rare new Atlanta condominium building is flirting with sellout status, though the paint is barely dry.
The Dillon Buckhead, billed as the submarket’s only option for new condos right now, wrapped construction in November and started moving in residents just before the holidays. More than 100 condos have since closed.
Of the 144 condo options in the highly amenitized building, just a dozen remain unsold now, according to brokers with Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty Intown. That translates to well over $200 million in sales overall.

Work on the 18-story building—the second Atlanta project for Palm Beach-based developer Kolter Urban—kicked off with demolition of the low-rise structures at 2425 Peachtree Road in summer 2022. Throughout the construction process, sellers credited the building’s abundance of amenities and location for making it a hot commodity. Some units have traded for astronomical numbers by Atlanta standards, such as a top-floor penthouse with 3,700 square feet that was listed for more than $4 million.
So far, most buyers at The Dillon have been downsizing from larger single-family homes and seeking an amenitized, low-maintenance lifestyle in a walkable location, sellers have told Urbanize Atlanta.
Remaining condos start at $999,000. That buys a foot-in-the-door Landmark floorplan with two bedrooms (described as “dual masters”) and two and ½ bathrooms in 1,474 square feet.
The priciest, most baller option left on the open market seeks $2.1 million. That’ll fetch three bedrooms (with den) and three and ½ bathrooms in 2,249 square feet. (Another consideration with that condo: $1,200 monthly HOA fees.)
The Dillon’s perks include concierge services, a formal clubroom with a catering kitchen, a dog park, pool deck, outdoor yoga terrace, a speakeasy, a media room with a game simulator, and a pickleball court.
An indoor-outdoor section called The Hub offers both private and semi-private workspaces for the WFH set, plus a conference room. Elsewhere, some condos are being held as guest suites, officials have said.

Nearly 400 more options for living at the doorstep of the Atlanta Beltline’s southern crescent have arrived.
The Upton, a multifamily build with unique skyline views and Southside Trail access, has officially begun leasing in Chosewood Park, two and ½ years after breaking ground on a vacant lot once home to warehouses.
The 430 Englewood Ave. project—situated on a 4-acre hilltop just west of Boulevard—is expected to welcome its first move-ins this month and finish construction in March, according to developers META Real Estate Partners. It continues a development surge in the area as the full five-mile Southside Trail edges closer to reality.
The Upton adds 396 rentals (but no retail) to the neighborhood. They range from 527-square-foot studios ($1,525 and up monthly) to three-bedroom, two-bathroom options (1,350 square feet) that start at $3,530.
Developers call The Upton’s amenities (16,000 square feet in the interior alone) “unmatched,” as curated by property management agency Gallery Residential. Those include a fitness concierge for the two-story gym, pool zones, rooftop hangouts, courtyards, and an edible garden with 40 plants from Atlanta’s Natural Born Tillers.

The building’s artist-in-residency program, “Grounded-In-Your-Light,” has put out a national call for artists and is offering 18 months of free rent, plus a stipend. Local mixed-media painter and muralist, Lacey Longino, a beneficiary of the artists residency program, will create installations for The Upton’s paseo and nearby Skylark apartments and Red’s Beer Garden, per officials.
The Upton building wraps a 539-space parking garage that stands six and ½ stories, with a rooftop amenity space on the top level of that.
It joins nearby rental options such as the Skylark on Boulevard and the comparatively massive Maverick community a little farther west on the trail. Other large-scale residential bets in nearby blocks include Empire Communities’ massive Zephyr project, which will eventually see 1,000 units of for-sale townhomes and multifamily dwellings spread across 34 acres.
Just north of The Upton, the 1.9-mile Southside Trail section linking Boulevard around to Pittsburgh is now fully under construction, with delivery scheduled for early 2026, in time for Atlanta’s World Cup matches.
The Upton’s site is just south of The Beacon, a former warehouse district turned food, drink, and retail destination. The 5-acre Boulevard Crossing Park—where the Beltline announced a 25-acre expansion in 2019—is located just to the east. (That greenspace expansion is fully designed but on hold, pending funding, per Beltline leadership.)

Meta Real Estate Partners, based near Sandy Springs and formerly called SWH Residential, also counts Old Fourth Ward’s North & Line in its portfolio of residential projects near the Beltline.
The Upton’s Atlanta-based development team also includes Dynamik Design (architecture and interior design), B+C Studio (landscape architecture), Kimley-Horn (civil engineering), and Fortune-Johnson (general contractor).
