Fresh housing aimed at boosting a southside corridor between downtown and Atlanta’s airport is scheduled to officially move forward this month.
Paces Preservation Partners, a partnership between affordable housing development firms, plans to host a Jan. 14 groundbreaking alongside Mayor Andre Dickens and other local dignitaries for a project called Metropolitan Place.
The 176-unit venture with an affordable rental and retail component will take shape at 2333 Metropolitan Parkway, just south of Langford Parkway and west of the downtown Connector in the Perkerson neighborhood.
For years, the corridor has grappled with disinvestment and blight, but development officials say Metropolitan Place is indicative of projects that are starting to turn the tide.

According to Invest Atlanta, which is helping to fund Metropolitan Place, the majority of units, or 144 total, will be reserved at rates for people earning 60 percent of the area median income or less. That means 750-square-foot, one-bedroom apartments are expected to rent for $972 monthly.
Seventy two-bedroom units—the most prevalent option in the project—will rent for $1,164 for 850 square feet. And three-bedroom apartments (35 total) with 1,200 square feet will cost $1,331 monthly.
Amenities are listed as an onsite fitness center, clubhouse, picnic area, and security cameras.

Elsewhere, 32 apartments are expected to rent for market rate, ranging from $1,653 to $2,052 per month.
At the ground level, roughly 1,000 square feet of commercial retail space will also be built, according to project plans.
The development is a team effort from Soho Housing Partners and Smyrna-based The Paces Foundation. The latter is a local nonprofit striving to develop more than 3,000 affordable housing units.
According to an Invest Atlanta project summary last year, Metropolitan Place aims to continue investments in the north-south corridor that include a new Atlanta Police Department Zone 3 precinct next door and Goodwill’s Metropolitan Parkway Career Center a few blocks north.
Other housing developments in the area have contributed to an ongoing revitalization, per Invest Atlanta officials.

Invest Atlanta leadership has said the mixed-use project will take 18 months to build. Records indicate the 6-acre property in question sold in early 2023 for $2.75 million.
About half of Metropolitan Place’s $77.1 million cost will be paid for with a tax-exempt loan from Atlanta’s Urban Residential Finance Authority, alongside federal and state tax credit equities aimed at helping spur development.
Invest Atlanta officials agreed last spring to provide $2.9 million via Housing Opportunity Bonds.

New mixed-use Buford Highway district takes step forward

New mixed-use Buford Highway district takes step forward

Back in November, developers behind a long-planned shopping, dining, and residential district at a vast, vacant Buford Highway site vowed to finally get the wheels of development moving in the new year.
Six days into 2025, signs appear to be pointing in a positive direction for nearby residents who’ve grown tired of the “eyesore” property in Doraville.
Atlanta-based real estate investment firm Insignia filed plans with the Georgia Department of Community Affairs on Dec. 30 to have its Lotus Grove project assessed at the state level as a potential Development of Regional Impact, given its large scope.
The state agency concluded today the Doraville project does indeed warrant a review by the Atlanta Regional Commission.
The DRI classification, which applies to projects large enough to effect multiple jurisdictions, is meant to streamline the development process and help gather local input.
Insignia’s project description for Lotus Grove predicts it will bring urbanization to Buford Highway and help revitalize the popular foodie destination. But it’s been a long time coming.

Situated just outside the Interstate 285 loop, a Kmart Big K long operated on the 13-acre Doraville property at 5597 Buford Highway until it shuttered in 2010. The shopping center’s remains were fully cleared more than two years ago. That appeared to set the stage for Lotus Grove—and the continuation of development trends in nearby cities such as Chamblee and Dunwoody that are leaning into urban-style, mixed-use nodes.
Eti Lazarian, Insignia’s general operations director, told Urbanize Atlanta in November initial Lotus Grove phases were on pace to see vertical construction in summer 2025, with an expected total cost north of $300 million.
Alongside low-rise retail and restaurants (to include a food hall), Lotus Grove’s initial phase calls for a 12-story building—the tallest in Doraville, per project officials—that would include 456 apartments and perks such as a pool and fitness center. Elsewhere, Lazarian said construction schedules call for delivering Lotus Grove’s retail and residential components by sometime in 2027.
According to the DRI submission, the full project would see 780 multifamily units, a 160-room hotel, and just shy of 67,000 square feet of retail and restaurant development.
The schedule calls for completing it in 2028, per the filing.
Miami-based developer Resia, the company behind a five-building residential project on Memorial Drive and another in Douglasville, is gearing up to build the first phase of residential, called Resia Lotus Grove, per company officials.
Infrastructure work on the residential tower has begun, and full development is on pace to start this year, per Resia officials.

According to Insignia’s website, Lotus Grove will eventually see two 12-story residential towers as part of roughly 1 million square feet of new construction. Other facets would include a public park designed to be activated for events.
Three years ago, Doraville’s Downtown Development Authority issued roughly $120 million worth of revenue bonds that Insignia will have to pay back, plus a tax abatement in the ballpark of $40 million.
The Lotus Grove site is less than a mile from the initial phase of Doraville’s Assembly Atlanta TV and film studio and greenspace complex, which has risen from the ashes of a razed General Motors plant. Elsewhere in the city, plans are percolating for a made-from-scratch downtown district that would help lend Doraville identity, while an infill residential project called Camino is under construction on a previously vacant lot.

A strategically located property that could help continue downtown Atlanta’s development boom leading up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup has hit the open market.
The 314 Luckie St. property, recently listed with commercial real estate firm Bull Realty, totals about .84 acres between two main downtown arteries.
It’s marketed as a “high-rise development site” with a “prime” location, in that Georgia Aquarium is across the street, and major downtown draws such as Centennial Olympic Park, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, State Farm Arena, and other attractions are minutes away by foot.
Next door to the south is the Hyatt Place Atlanta Centennial Park Hotel, which opened in 2019, and the under-construction, 183-room Moxy by Marriott hotel project.

Bull Realty brokers have listed the property for $12.5 million and say its SPI-1 SA5 zoning calls for dense development. That could be a hotel, multifamily, or mixed-uses including retail.
One potential plan, as drawn up by Goode Van Slyke Architecture, calls for roughly 200 apartments across 18 stories. Other components would be 10,500 square feet of retail and 240 parking spaces.
Attributes of the site—positioned along Luckie, Marietta, and Simpson streets—include three street frontages, a “Very Walkable” Walk Score of 86, and “Excellent” Transit Score of 75.
The site is used as public parking today. One section was formerly home to Encore Hookah Lounge, an establishment forced to close by the city in 2022 following a security guard’s fatal shooting and what authorities said was 171 calls to police in previous years.

As a parking lot today, the site generates $750,000 annually after expenses. According to Bull Realty, the parking use “can be continued to hold for future development.” Or—as ATL urbanists would contend—not.

High-rise development site in prime downtown location hits market

A strategically located property that could help continue downtown Atlanta’s development boom leading up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup has hit the open market.
The 314 Luckie St. property, recently listed with commercial real estate firm Bull Realty, totals about .84 acres between two main downtown arteries.
It’s marketed as a “high-rise development site” with a “prime” location, in that Georgia Aquarium is across the street, and major downtown draws such as Centennial Olympic Park, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, State Farm Arena, and other attractions are minutes away by foot.
Next door to the south is the Hyatt Place Atlanta Centennial Park Hotel, which opened in 2019, and the under-construction, 183-room Moxy by Marriott hotel project.

Bull Realty brokers have listed the property for $12.5 million and say its SPI-1 SA5 zoning calls for dense development. That could be a hotel, multifamily, or mixed-uses including retail.
One potential plan, as drawn up by Goode Van Slyke Architecture, calls for roughly 200 apartments across 18 stories. Other components would be 10,500 square feet of retail and 240 parking spaces.
Attributes of the site—positioned along Luckie, Marietta, and Simpson streets—include three street frontages, a “Very Walkable” Walk Score of 86, and “Excellent” Transit Score of 75.
The site is used as public parking today. One section was formerly home to Encore Hookah Lounge, an establishment forced to close by the city in 2022 following a security guard’s fatal shooting and what authorities said was 171 calls to police in previous years.

As a parking lot today, the site generates $750,000 annually after expenses. According to Bull Realty, the parking use “can be continued to hold for future development.” Or—as ATL urbanists would contend—not.

Developer Planning 845 Atlanta-Area Apartments
Developer Planning 845 Atlanta-Area Apartments
Columbia Ventures plans to build a new mixed-use development along Huber Street in Blandtown, between Howell Mill Road and Marietta Boulevard.
The Atlanta Business Chronicle reports the project, Huber West Midtown, will feature 845 apartment units in two residential buildings and approximately 20,000 square feet of retail space. Five separate sites on Huber Street were purchased for $15.25 million in 2022.
The Huber West Midtown site will cover nearly 9 acres. The development will be delivered in two phases, and the project is expected to be fully completed by 2031.
Columbia Ventures’ website says it has delivered several multifamily and mixed-use projects in Georgia, Florida and Colorado. Its Atlanta developments include the 208-unit Quill multifamily building at the Edgewood Candler Park MARTA station and Citizen O4W on the Eastside Trail of the Atlanta Beltline.

A year after construction began in earnest, a Decatur affordable housing venture has topped out and entered the homestretch of building phases in an area that’s seen a surge of development steps from a transit station.
The four-story building, Decatur East Phase II, continues the push across Atlanta and inner suburbs to create Transit Oriented Development housing nodes next to MARTA transit hubs.
The project, a partnership between Columbia Residential and Decatur Housing Authority, is slated to deliver 80 more units of affordable senior housing with direct access to MARTA transit at Avondale station.
The station is situated on the eastern fringes of Decatur, along MARTA’s Blue Line.

Expect one and two-bedroom units with amenities designed for seniors who have a range of incomes below 80 percent of the area median income, according to project officials.
Next door, 92 units of similar housing were opened in the project’s initial phase in 2018, alongside hundreds of other apartments.
According to general contractor J.M Wilkerson Construction, the new building’s amenities will include a courtyard elevated off the street, a fitness room, a business and leasing center, and other community rooms.
MARTA sold the two parcels totaling 1.45 acres next to the rail station to Columbia Residential four years ago, citing the firm’s track record of delivering affordable senior units.
The second phase of senior housing is considered one of the two final pieces of the southside master TOD plan outlined by MARTA, the City of Decatur, Columbia Ventures, and developers Cortland.
According to the Decatur Housing Authority, the current project is on pace to deliver this summer.
MARTA officials previously told Urbanize Atlanta the first units should be available for rent in late summer. Leasing efforts have yet to begin.

Similar mixed-income developments that have opened near stations in recent years—specifically Marchon at King Memorial station and the Quill complex in Edgewood—quickly reached leasing stabilization within six to 12 months, according to MARTA.
Columbia Ventures reported last year that Quill’s lease-up was the fastest the company has experienced, with 40 units being rented per month over a peak leasing period of three months, proving that transit connectedness and living options below market rate is a potent combination.
Hundreds of new housing units have joined MARTA’s Cortland Decatur East in the corridor over the past several years, in both Decatur and Avondale Estates.
The trend is also continuing just west of the MARTA station today, where a project called Halo East Decatur has cleared a full block and begun vertical construction on 370 more rentals, plus retail and plaza space.

Two Atlanta Shopping Centers Change Hands
Two Atlanta Shopping Centers Change Hands
Two Atlanta properties, one including a city landmark, have changed hands.
Plaza on Ponce and the Morningside Village shopping center have been sold for $36.1 million and $31.4 million, respectively, Atlanta Business Chronicle reports. North Carolina-based Asana Partners sold the properties to 26th Street Partners.
Plaza on Ponce includes Plaza Theatre, the city’s oldest independent movie theater. It will remain at the center with a long-term lease, according to the news outlet.
26th Street Partners is an Atlanta-based real estate investment company with a focus on the Sunbelt.
It is a relatively new firm – it was founded in 2023 – but the founders have extensive real estate experience. According to the website, the three recently “departed senior executive roles at a vertically integrated real estate private equity and development firm.” LinkedIn indicates that this firm was Jamestown.
