63-Parcel Durham Assemblage to Become Rental Community

A group of property owners is working together on a 402-unit apartment community in Durham. The property, off Hoover Road west of Interstate 885, was assembled over the years, including several much smaller pieces. The property owners include John Warasila, founding principal of Alliance Architecture.

The land is 63 parcels totaling 23.2 acres along Hoover Road, Sater Street, Creasy Street, Hilltop Drive, Felix Street and Miami Boulevard. The group has been assembling the properties since 2019.

The Triangle Business Journal reports that of the 23 acres, just 12 are developable, as the property includes wetlands and a stream. The vacant land has become a dumping ground and the property owners have spent $60,000 to clean up the site.

In addition to the apartment units, 25 percent of the property will be townhomes. Twenty percent of the property will be open space. Five percent of rental units will be designated affordable to residents earning 60 percent of the area median income.

Belk Adding Outlet Concept to NC Stores

Belk Adding Outlet Concept to NC Stores

Belk Adding Outlet Concept to NC Stores

Belk is incorporating its outlet concept in two of its Atlanta stores. The Charlotte-based retailer will bring that concept to Eastridge Mall in Gastonia and Triangle Town Center Mall in Raleigh.

Both sites have existing two-floor Belk locations. Plans call for converting the ground level into outlet space, while Traditional Belk stores will continue to operate on the second level. Both outlet stores are targeted for a spring opening.

With the opening of the outlet concept at Northlake Mall in Charlotte, Belk now has three outlet locations in North Carolina. The Charlotte Business Journal reports the outlet stores carry high-end, national designer brands as well as Belk’s brands marked down 60% to 85%. Belk has opened 17 outlet locations and 300 stores nationwide.

Belk underwent a restructuring in July 2024. The move cut nearly $1 billion in debt and secured $485 million in new capital.

A year and ½ after breaking ground, an 11-building multifamily project that aims to capitalize on job growth and fewer new rental options in Atlanta’s eastern suburbs has started to debut. 

Atlanta-based developer Brook Farm Group has delivered the first two residential buildings and a large clubhouse at The Sinclair at Callaway Farm, a Covington venture where leasing has begun in what project officials have called a “dynamic growth corridor.”

Set on 39 acres with ponds and mature trees, The Sinclair project will eventually count 388 apartments marketed as Class A and uniquely luxurious for the area.  

The site is just north of Interstate 20 about eight miles southeast of area landmark Georgia International Horse Park, between Covington and Social Circle. It’s adjacent to a 180-acre mixed-use development called Covington Town Center.

Monthly rents start $1,599, which gets one bedroom and one bathroom in 652 square feet. Two-bedroom apartments with two bathrooms start at $1,995 monthly for 999 square feet. 

On the larger end, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom options in 1,287 square feet start at $2,445.

The Sinclair project will see two “Town and Country” neighborhoods rise with 11 different residential buildings, each blending contemporary design and what Brook Farm Group calls historic character that echoes Covington’s antebellum housing stock. 

Other aspects include the 9,000-square-foot clubhouse called “best in class,” a resort-style pool, a dog park and pet spa, coworking space, two-story gym, and what’s described as the market’s first rooftop lounge. Four of the buildings will feature elevators for upper-level homes that overlook a tree canopy, developers note.

According to Brook Farm Group’s tabulation, the area is expected to attract 10,000 new jobs in coming years. 

Developers cited growing major employers in the eastern suburbs around Covington—Takeda, SKC, and Cinelease’s 160-acre Three Ring Studio, along with new companies Rivian Automotive, 80 Acres Farms, Archer Aviation, and Ascend Elements—as a reason for investing in the area.  

Rivian alone is expected to create 7,500 jobs about 10 miles down the road (provided a $6.6 billion loan from the Biden Administration materializes), while Archer Aviation is adding another 1,000 new jobs less than a mile from the apartments.  

Several multifamily complexes have materialized in the Covington market in recent years—Crescent Communities’ Render Covington and Alliance Residential’s Prose Fairview among them—but The Sinclair project is aiming for a different customer. 

“Many of these [other] communities have been purposefully developed with a more limited amenity offering and homes that are designed to appeal to a more cost-conscious resident,” 
Eric Hade, Brook Farm’s chief investment officer, said in a statement. “We designed The Sinclair at Callaway Farm to raise the bar and appeal to residents seeking a differentiated, luxury residential community.”

Covington’s TV and film history tracing from The Dukes of Hazzard and In the Heat of the Night to Vampire Diaries has earned the city the nickname “The Hollywood of the South,” which developers pointed to as additional cachet.   

The Sinclair’s location is about 30 miles from both downtown Atlanta and, to the west, Lake Oconee, a popular recreation attraction. First Horizon Bank and TrustMark Bank provided the project’s construction financing.

Construction fencing and demolition work piqued the curiosity of Midtown readers this week, but there’s no indication significant changes are coming near one of the subdistrict’s most high-profile intersections soon. 

The demo involved a large shed structure behind the former Henry’s Tavern space at 130 10th St., which was fenced off and taken down over the past couple of days. 

The social hangout’s closure in November 2023 was such a sore spot for some patrons, they organized a rally to try to save it, but the business closed anyway, citing an inability to come to terms with its landlord.

Demolition permit paperwork filed last year indicates more buildings in the immediate could come down. 

According to those filings, the former Henry’s building would be demolished near the corner of Juniper and 10th streets, and the site would be graded to a “gradual slope” between the sidewalk and parking lot. 

Just to the west, where 10th Street meets Peachtree Street, a partially collapsed building would also be demolished, with bollards and a connecting chain encircling its perimeter to keep people out, per the demolition permits. (That building—a former Jocks & Jills Sports Grill—was being converted into a Stix Asian Cuisine concept until a weather event triggered the wall collapse and killed the project.)

In place of the buildings, grass would be planted, according to filings. 

The owner of the entire 3.9-acre block is listed in Fulton County property records as Dewberry Tenth Street. We’ve reached out to Dewberry Capital representatives for more information on demolition plans and will update this story with any additional details that come. 

An email to the demolition permit applicant with an LLC called JKD Tenth Street was not returned this week.

In 2023, Dewberry demolished another Midtown structure—originally the 1930s Northwood Hotel—on property the company owns along 17th Street. 

That building had become a magnet for trespassers, was beyond repair, and was generally a nuisance, as Dewberry’s team told the Midtown Development Review Committee

Today the 17th Street property is fenced-off grass between two of Midtown’s main thoroughfares, West Peachtree and Peachtree streets.

Despite pushback, multifaceted project bound for downtown Woodstock

Despite naysayer concerns regarding density, increased traffic, and building height, a multifaceted infill development recently scored a government green-light to continue downtown Woodstock’s latest growth spurt

The proposal from developer Dinesh Vudutha at 8261 Main St. and 8271 Dobbs Road would replace what’s largely vacant land today. The 2.3 acres form a downtown corner about a five-minute walk north of Woodstock’s central hub of eateries, shops, and drinking establishments. 

Fronting Main Street, plans call for a four-story, mixed-use building with commercial spaces at the base and 24 condos above, standing 56 feet tall at max. 

Behind that structure, the project would see 14 townhomes arranged around surface parking spaces and a central green. 

The multiple retail spaces would total about 14,300 square feet.

According to the Cherokee Tribune, a community petition put together in December had gathered 60 signatures from residents concerned with density and height—and that the proposal hadn’t been altered from previous designs that drew concern. (The developer previously told city officials that shrinking unit counts would jeopardize the project’s financial viability.) At a Woodstock City Council meeting Feb. 10, however, an equal number of public commenters spoke in favor of the development as those against. 

The city council voted to approve the project 3-2, with Mayor Michael Caldwell’s vote breaking a tie, according to the newspaper. 

Inquiries to the development team from Urbanize Atlanta regarding a potential groundbreaking and construction timeline weren’t returned.

Plans call for a 10-foot-wide sidewalk along Main Street—and for no more than 10 percent of units to be rentals, according to a condition applied by the city. 

The council’s vote approves the required rezoning of properties in question from a designation called DT-RO (that’s Downtown Residential Office) to DT-CBD (or Downtown Central Business District).

According to the Cherokee Tribune, a community petition put together in December had gathered 60 signatures from residents concerned with density and height—and that the proposal hadn’t been altered from previous designs that drew concern. (The developer previously told city officials that shrinking unit counts would jeopardize the project’s financial viability.) At a Woodstock City Council meeting Feb. 10, however, an equal number of public commenters spoke in favor of the development as those against. The city council voted to approve the project 3-2, with Mayor Michael Caldwell’s vote breaking a tie, according to the newspaper. Inquiries to the development team from Urbanize Atlanta regarding a potential groundbreaking and construction timeline weren’t returned.

Plans call for a 10-foot-wide sidewalk along Main Street—and for no more than 10 percent of units to be rentals, according to a condition applied by the city. The council’s vote approves the required rezoning of properties in question from a designation called DT-RO (that’s Downtown Residential Office) to DT-CBD (or Downtown Central Business District). …Follow us on social media: Twitter / Facebook/and now: Instagram  • Woodstock news, discussion (Urbanize Atlanta)

Despite pushback, multifaceted project bound for downtown Woodstock

Despite naysayer concerns regarding density, increased traffic, and building height, a multifaceted infill development recently scored a government green-light to continue downtown Woodstock’s latest growth spurt. The proposal from developer Dinesh Vudutha at 8261 Main St. and 8271 Dobbs Road would replace what’s largely vacant land today. The 2.3 acres form a downtown corner about a five-minute walk north of Woodstock’s central hub of eateries, shops, and drinking establishments. Fronting Main Street, plans call for a four-story, mixed-use building with commercial spaces at the base and 24 condos above, standing 56 feet tall at max. Behind that structure, the project would see 14 townhomes arranged around surface parking spaces and a central green. The multiple retail spaces would total about 14,300 square feet.
