New City Unveils Neuhoff’s Next Phase
New City Unveils Neuhoff’s Next Phase
The now-thriving Neuhoff District used to be a meat packing plant, an assortment of old brick buildings on East Germantown’s riverfront that has been turned into offices, retail and hundreds of apartments. According to the Nashville Business Journal, the first phase cost $550 million.
New City Properties is moving forward on the second phase of Neuhoff District, which will include a new apartment building, an office building and retail structures.
The next phase of Neuhoff will rise at 1324 Second Ave. N. The existing building will be converted into retail space. The next phase also includes a seven-story office building as well as a six-story apartment building with 319 units.
New City Properties bought the 4.77-acre site where the second half of the project is slated to rise in 2019 for $26.25 million.
Cousins Properties Inc. invested $275 million in the Neuhoff development, and JP Morgan is contributing half of the equity. JE Dunn Construction is the general contractor.

Northwood Ravin Delivers “Multiple Choice” Charlotte-Area Rental Units
Northwood Ravin Delivers “Multiple Choice” Charlotte-Area Rental Units
Multifamily developer Northwood Ravin has something for everyone just outside Charlotte. The Lodges at Fort Mill, a 261-unit rental community off Fort Mill Highway, just east of Indian Land includes 118 apartments, 80 townhomes and 63 single-family homes.
The community includes a mix of two—and three-bedroom homes and townhomes, as well as walkup corner apartments with one—and two-bedroom floor plans.
Northwood Ravin paid $8.5 million in 2021 for the project site.
The Charlotte Business Journal reports that Northwood Ravin came in at No. 2 on the list ranking the market’s most active commercial real estate developers based on five-year activity. The developer delivered just over 4 million square feet of projects locally, and around 90% of that square footage was multifamily development.

At site of Atlanta’s last housing project, redevelopment set to move forward

At site of Atlanta’s last housing project, redevelopment set to move forward

For the first time since demolition 15 years ago, the site of Atlanta’s last major family housing project is expected to be teeming with life—and promises of new attainable living options—this week.
A formal groundbreaking is scheduled Wednesday for the first phase of redevelopment at the long-abandoned Bowen Homes site, a $63.6-million initiative set to produce 151 new units.
Backed largely by federal funding secured in 2023, the Bowen Homes project calls for a mixed-income community with several new buildings and a greenspace component—and for much more development later.
Back in 2009, Bowen Homes became the last of Atlanta’s housing projects to be razed, and the site has been vacant since. The 74 acres in question are located just inside the Interstate 285 Perimeter, near the intersection of James Jackson Parkway and Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway.
Dignitaries including Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, Atlanta Housing president and CEO Terri Lee, Invest Atlanta CEO Dr. Eloisa Klementich, and HUD Southeast deputy regional administrator Tiffany Cobb are scheduled to attend the Wednesday groundbreaking ceremony, officials said this week.

Invest Atlanta leaders have predicted the project will transform the surrounding Brookview Heights neighborhood and revitalize “a historically neglected and environmentally stressed area… into a place of natural, social, and economic regeneration,” according to a project update last year.
Of the 151 apartments planned for the initial phase, 48 will be reserved for households earning 30 percent of the area median income, while 49 will be capped at 60 percent AMI. The rest will rent at market-rate, according to Invest Atlanta.
Other aspects of the redevelopment call for a Community Resources Center and Innovation Hub that will offer Bowen Homes’ residents job-training opportunities and affordable commercial space, per officials.

Bowen Homes was built in the early 1960s as a model multifamily community in what was then considered Atlanta’s western suburbs, counting its own library, school, and eventually some 4,000 residents.
By 2008, the 650 apartments spread across 102 buildings had devolved into a sore spot of crime and a magnet for the drug trade—typifying the ills of the American public housing experiment. According to Atlanta Housing, Bowen Homes experienced 168 violent crimes in just a six-month period that year, including five murders.
But signs of hope for the property have come in more recent years.

In late 2022, Atlanta Housing selected a redevelopment team called Bowen District Developers—led by The Benoit Group and McCormack Baron Salazar real estate companies—to bring the area back to life.
Atlanta Housing and officials with Dickens’ administration formally applied in early 2023 for a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Choice Neighborhoods Implementation Grant.
In the summer of that year, HUD announced a $40 million federal grant to kickstart Atlanta’s Bowen Choice Neighborhood program, a revitalization effort for the former Bowen Homes and surrounding Westside properties.
The HUD grant aims to help the City of Atlanta eventually transform the bones of Bowen Homes into more than 2,000 housing units for renters and homebuyers, officials have said.
The project’s considerable scope calls for rebuilding the Bowen Homes site and next-door neighborhood Carey Park, along with a section of Almond Park.

In Atlanta, chirping birds and early blossoms mean festival season is just around the corner. This year, it also means streets-opening season is nigh.
Following its winter hibernation (since mid-November), Atlanta Streets Alive announced recently it will make an early return in 2025, starting late next month with its downtown-Midtown route before moving to the expansive route south of Interstate 20 between Grant Park and West End.
The first 2025 Streets Alive dates to be announced are as follows, with each event planned from 2 to 6 p.m.:
Sunday, April 27 – Peachtree Street
Sunday, May 18 – Grant Park to West End
Sunday, June 22 – Peachtree Street
According to organizers, the dates and locations of more open-streets block parties for beyond June will be announced soon.
The Peachtree Street route stretches for 2.8 miles between the oldest blocks of downtown to Midtown near the High Museum of Art.
The other route is even longer (about three and ½ miles), opening Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard and Georgia Avenue from West End to Grant Park, with Mechanicsville and Summerhill’s commercial district in between.

Atlanta Bicycle Coalition (now Propel ATL) originated Streets Alive, inspired by ciclovía events in Bogotá, Colombia and other cities. The Atlanta phenomenon began meagerly one day in 2010 when a stretch of Edgewood Avenue opened to bicyclists, skaters, walkers, and anyone else not driving a car.
Over the next decade, organizers say Streets Alive staged 29 events and covered some 83 miles of city streets, drawing an estimated 1.7 million people total.
The final pre-hiatus event was held on Peachtree in 2019, before going dormant through pandemic years as logistics for a more frequent Streets Alive were worked out with ATLDOT and other city leaders.
After a four-year hiatus, Streets Alive made a festive return in September 2023, opening Peachtree from south of Underground Atlanta up to 15th Street in Midtown. (The Peachtree route was among the most attended and frequently staged of the events over the years, with crowds often topping 100,000, as estimated by volunteer counters.)
Last year, six different Streets Alive events marked a record for a single year, with the previous high mark being four in 2016.

Georgia Tech to break ground on first new residence hall in 50 years

Georgia Tech to break ground on first new residence hall in 50 years

Mon, 03/03/2025 – 14:50
Georgia Tech’s recent growth spurt is set to officially continue this week on the western fringes of campus.
School officials have scheduled a groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday for the Curran Street Residence Hall project—the first traditional residence hall to be built on Georgia Tech’s campus in almost 50 years.
The project will join a multitude of new off-campus housing in highly amenitized buildings that have sprouted across Midtown and downtown over the past decade.
For Georgia Tech, it will continue a building spree that includes the expanded Science Square district, a football stadium expansion, and forthcoming Technology Square Phase 3 in Midtown.
Described as state-of-the-art, the Curran Street Residence Hall calls for 862 beds spread across eight residential floors for first-year students. Building features will include a 24-hour automated market, study rooms, e-gaming spaces, and a fitness center, per Georgia Tech officials.

The project will rise from a site on the western edge of campus along Northside Drive, between Eighth and Ninth streets. Today that property—situated just south of The Interlock project’s second phase—is home to surface parking and little else.
It’ll be the first housing of any sort added on campus since 2005, when the 153-bed Tenth and Home complex opened along 10th Street to accommodate growing family-student and graduate enrollment.
All rooms in the 191,000-square-foot building will be made for double-occupancy, with group kitchens, community lounges, and collaborative learning spaces featured elsewhere, according to the school.
The residence hall will be geared toward accommodating Georgia Tech’s first-year enrollment growth over the next decade, while also housing students relocated during planned renovations to existing on-campus residential buildings.

School officials estimated the project will cost $117 million in 2023, when it was approved by the University System of Georgia Board of Regents. The construction schedule calls for opening the building in August 2026 for fall semester.
The new Northside Drive residential facility is considered an important piece of goals put forward in Georgia Tech’s emerging Comprehensive Campus Plan, which could continue to transform multiple areas of the school’s grounds.

Georgia Tech’s recent growth spurt is set to officially continue this week on the western fringes of campus. School officials have scheduled a groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday for the Curran Street Residence Hall project—the first traditional residence hall to be built on Georgia Tech’s campus in almost 50 years. The project will join a multitude of new off-campus housing in highly amenitized buildings that have sprouted across Midtown and downtown over the past decade. For Georgia Tech, it will continue a building spree that includes the expanded Science Square district, a football stadium expansion, and forthcoming Technology Square Phase 3 in Midtown. Described as state-of-the-art, the Curran Street Residence Hall calls for 862 beds spread across eight residential floors for first-year students. Building features will include a 24-hour automated market, study rooms, e-gaming spaces, and a fitness center, per Georgia Tech officials.

The project will rise from a site on the western edge of campus along Northside Drive, between Eighth and Ninth streets. Today that property—situated just south of The Interlock project’s second phase—is home to surface parking and little else.It’ll be the first housing of any sort added on campus since 2005, when the 153-bed Tenth and Home complex opened along 10th Street to accommodate growing family-student and graduate enrollment.All rooms in the 191,000-square-foot building will be made for double-occupancy, with group kitchens, community lounges, and collaborative learning spaces featured elsewhere, according to the school. The residence hall will be geared toward accommodating Georgia Tech’s first-year enrollment growth over the next decade, while also housing students relocated during planned renovations to existing on-campus residential buildings.
