Avondale Estates launches ‘tactical urbanism’ work to slow drivers down

As with other pockets of ITP Atlanta, the City of Avondale Estates has started deploying inventive, relatively low-cost measures as a means of slowing drivers down and boosting safety for non-motorists.
Work began this week on a “tactical urbanism” initiative called the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Project on two busy Avondale Estates streets as a means of calming driver speeds and deterring cut-through traffic in residential neighborhoods, according to city officials.
Phase one is focused on stretches of South Avondale Road and Kensington Road near the city’s growing commercial district.
Those streets were picked, according to a city study, because they’re ideal for bike routes, have been a hotspot for resident complaints about driver speed, and are natural cut-throughs.
Traffic-calming measures the city is implementing include new crosswalks and stop signs, parking for bikes and golf carts, and lane shifts, among other changes.
Scope of work for the initial phase of the recently launched Neighborhood Traffic Calming Project. Painted chicanes are defined as “an artificial narrowing or turn on a road.”City of Avondale Estates
The work is considered a pilot project and short-term test case that could convince city leaders to make more permanent investments in street alterations such as curbs and drainage infrastructure in the future.
As with all tactical urbanism efforts, the project is considered relatively cheap, consisting of new paint, a few vertical additions such as stop signs, and bollards (or short posts that thwart car travel).
All of the above could also be easily removed should that need arise, per the city.
Other examples of tactical urbanism have popped up in recent years across Atlanta. Those include a street mural project in Adams Park, parklets in former parking spaces in Midtown, and more recently, a citizen-organized, traffic-calming initiative on what neighbors call a Monroe Drive “drag strip,” among other projects.
In Avondale Estates, once phase one of the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Project wraps, city officials plan to evaluate the timeline and costs for installing additional phases.

At cusp of Piedmont Park, yet another development concept emerges

At cusp of Piedmont Park, yet another development concept emerges

Perhaps, in the case of this Midtown corner, the third time will indeed be a charm?
Across the street from a main Piedmont Park entrance, an assemblage of properties has recently come to market at 1084 Piedmont Ave. where two earlier redevelopment concepts with food-and-beverage components did not come to fruition in the growing neighborhood.
It’s a rare case of property along the western flank of Atlanta’s signature park that isn’t already activated with retail or fully built out with residential uses.
Situated at the northwest corner of Piedmont Avenue and 12th Street, across the street from a Shake Shack and Willy’s Mexicana Grill, the property continues to be marketed as 12th & Everything.
According to its new JLL listing, the property’s sale would include two commercial buildings: a 2,400-square-foot brick structure that dates back to around 1930, and a corner building from 1948 with 1,372 square feet.
JLL/12th & Everything
The latter building is where Skate Escape—the oldest roller skate and skateboard shop in Atlanta—had operated since 1979 but shuttered a couple of years ago as its owners retired.
Back in 2022, DAS BBQ unveiled designs for converting the corner building to its third Atlanta location, complete with a rooftop hangout, but those plans fizzled.
More recently, an adaptive-reuse, retro-style makeover that would have turned the building into Old Sol Coffee came before Midtown Alliance in August. But according to JLL’s listing, that concept is also off the table, though previous plans drafted by the seller could be included with a sale, per JLL.

An asking price for the .31-acre property isn’t listed. We’ve reached out to JLL brokers for that information and other details regarding the previous coffee shop concept, and we’ll update this story should any additional intel come.
The property’s current zoning—Special Public Interest District 17, Piedmont North Subarea—would allow for a mix of both commercial and residential uses, whether it be adaptive-reuse “thoughtful renovations” or starting from a blank slate to build a boutique luxury community, per JLL.

That could entail a “very high end” townhome or condo project of up to 20,000 square feet at the park’s “front gate,” per the sellers.
Zoning would otherwise allow for up to 5,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space.
Swing up to the gallery for a quick, closer look at the latest pitch for this high-profile Midtown corner.

430K-SF Person County Logistics Park Sells for $61.8M
430K-SF Person County Logistics Park Sells for $61.8M
Colliers facilitated the $61.8 million sale of POLYWOOD’s 930,250-square-foot manufacturing and warehousing campus in Person County, North Carolina. Colliers’s Jimmy Ullrich, Ryan Vaught, Michael Macchia and Riley Vaught represented the sellers, Weston and Blue Vista Capital Management. Carolina Logistics Center and Tratt Properties were the buyers.
The facility will continue to serve as both a manufacturing facility and a distribution center for POLYWOOD, an outdoor furniture company. This will allow the company to continue shipping its products to customers along the East Coast.
Located at 3300 Jim Thorpe Hwy, the site is composed of two buildings, including one that is the original 430,256 square foot building utilized to extrude, manufacture, package, and distribute the POLYWOOD product. The second building is a newly completed build-to-suit 500,000-square foot facility, completing POLYWOOD’s final assembly and shipping. It features a 100,000-sq.-ft. recycling area, a 200,000-square-foot foot extrusion area, and a 200,000-square-foot finished goods area.
The project is located 30 miles north of Raleigh-Durham.

Atlantic Station’s evolution in recent years has included a new stack of interstate-facing apartments, throwback-style offices, and a reimagined central greenspace. Significant changes at the mixed-use mini metropolis are expected to continue in the new year, according to a development firm that owns a compelling piece of it.
Building permit paperwork filed with Atlanta’s Department of City Planning in late November indicates a dual-branded Hilton Hotels & Resorts project is gearing up to move forward at 301 17th St. in the heart of the live-work-play district.
Since Atlantic Station debuted in 2005, the development site has been little more than a sunken pit encased by the district’s underground parking complex. Two towers—the Twelve Midtown hotel and the 271 17th St. office building—stand on either side of it.
Building permit details filed with the city indicate the hotel building would stand eight stories, flagged with Hilton’s lifestyle-and-wellness focused Tempo and Tapestry Collection brands.
Tentative, early designs for Atlantic Station’s 301 17th St. revealed in 2019. Peachtree Group; designs, Wakefield Beasley & Associates
The 17th Street void in Atlantic Station’s streetscape that’s existed for nearly 20 years. Google Maps
Plans call for 282 hotel rooms total (147 at Tempo, and 135 at Tapestry), with a 242-space parking garage below. Each brand would have its own bars, lobbies, and kitchens, with shared fitness facilities on top floor, according to filings.
Atlanta-based Peachtree Group bought the 1-acre site for $3.75 million six years ago and initially floated plans in 2019 that called for a SpringHill Suites by Marriott in addition to Hilton’s Tapestry.
When asked for details on a construction timeline (and updated renderings) recently, Peachtree Group CEO and managing principal Greg Friedman replied via email that more information will be released in 2025.
“We are excited about this upcoming project,” Friedman noted.

Plans call for 282 hotel rooms total (147 at Tempo, and 135 at Tapestry), with a 242-space parking garage below. Each brand would have its own bars, lobbies, and kitchens, with shared fitness facilities on top floor, according to filings.
Atlanta-based Peachtree Group bought the 1-acre site for $3.75 million six years ago and initially floated plans in 2019 that called for a SpringHill Suites by Marriott in addition to Hilton’s Tapestry.
When asked for details on a construction timeline (and updated renderings) recently, Peachtree Group CEO and managing principal Greg Friedman replied via email that more information will be released in 2025.
“We are excited about this upcoming project,” Friedman noted.

Two Charlotte Rental Assets Trade for $183.5M
Two heavyweight apartment investors have spent over $183 million gobbling up Charlotte commercial real estate.
St. Regis Properties acquired Crown of Queen City near uptown from Kohlberg Kravis & Roberts (KKR) for $88 million in February 2021. The Charlotte Business Journal reported KKR bought the Class A apartment community at 101 W. Morehead St., formerly called Broadstone Queen City, for $90 million in February 2021. Alliance Residential built the $52 million, 260-unit development at the edge of South End and uptown.
It delivered in 2020 and has about 10,000 square feet of amenity space and 1,500 square feet of ground-floor retail space.
The Aritzia at LoSo, a 350-unit complex in Charlotte’s lower South End neighborhood, sold on Nov. 19 for $95.5 million. Ares Public Fund acquired the property from RangeWater Real Estate.

Atlanta’s first Chattahoochee River public access point officially opens
Atlanta’s first Chattahoochee River public access point officially opens
Atlanta’s first Chattahoochee River public access point officially opens

Maybe it’s hardly to believe, but the City of Atlanta has always lacked official public access to the Chattahoochee River, one of its most incredible natural resources. (The river was considered a health hazard, after all, prior to years of award-winning cleanup efforts.)
But as of today, that’s no longer the case.
Trust for Public Land officials, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, and other dignitaries officially cut the ribbon today on Standing Peachtree Greenspace, considered the city’s first public access point to the river.
The scope of work at Standing Peachtree Greenspace includes a kayak launch, a fully accessible path to the river, upgrades to the site’s access road, and woodland restoration, according to TPL officials. The project broke ground in late 2023.
The greenspace is located where Buckhead, North Atlanta, and so-called Upper Westside converge on Ridgewood Road, just west of Interstate 75 and north of the Moores Mill Road mixed-use development anchored by Publix.

The new river gateway marks the northernmost point of the Chattahoochee Camp+Paddle Trail, a 48-mile pathway that will snake beside the river from North Atlanta down to McIntosh Reserve in Carroll County. Its purpose is to allow visitors to journey three days and four nights for a nature-escape itinerary unlike any other so close to the city.
As extensive as it may seem, the Camp+Paddle Trail will be just one section of the planned Chattahoochee RiverLands, a vast outdoor recreation destination that will eventually span across 100 miles of parks, stretching from Buford Dam to Chattahoochee Bend State Park.
George Dusenbury, TPL’s Georgia state director, called the Standing Peachtree Greenspace opening a “tremendous milestone” and “testament to the value of public and nonprofit collaboration” in an announcement.

Earlier in the day, a similar ribbon-cutting event was hosted by TPL and the Cobb County Department of Transportation for another Chattahoochee RiverLands destination: the RiverLands Showcase Site in Smyrna.
The latter project includes the first section of paved, shared-use trail along the Chattahoochee River in South Cobb County, along with a boardwalk spanning scenic wetlands, a river overlook, an education nook, and a soft-surface trail.
Eventually, the Chattahoochee RiverLands project is expected to link about 1 million nearby residents and visitors to activities such as swimming, bicycling, kayaking, picnicking, walking, and camping along the river.
