Johns Creek Okays 175-Room Hotel
Johns Creek Okays 175-Room Hotel
Toro Development Company (TDC) received approval from the Johns Creek City Council to build a 175-key hotel at Medley, the planned 43-acre mixed-use project. TDC is the developer of the venture, which will be located at the corner of McGinnis Ferry Road and Johns Creek Parkway in Johns Creek.
The development partner and brand for The Hotel at Avalon has not yet been decided on.
TDC expects to break ground on Medley later this year, with a planned grand opening in Q3 2026. To prepare the site for construction, the company has razed an existing 350,000-square-foot office building.
In addition to the hotel, Medley’s first phase will include approximately 180,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and entertainment space, 110,000 square feet of office space, 340 multifamily residences, 133 townhomes and a 25,000-square-foot Plaza. The site also features a 4-story office building that is being renovated and incorporated into the master plan. A dozen retailers have already signed on.

Developer Trio Teaming Up on $500M Charlotte Development
Levine Properties, Northwood Ravin and Horizon Development Properties are working together on a $500 million redevelopment of the former Providence Square shopping center (photo).

Lion Acquires 3rd Charlotte Rental Asset
Lion Acquires 3rd Charlotte Rental Asset
Lion Real Estate Group acquired a two-property, 208-unit apartment portfolio in Charlotte that was rebranded as Creekside Canopy. The acquisition expands the firm’s Charlotte market presence to three assets and was made on behalf of Lion’s Fund III investment vehicle.
The properties are located immediately next to one another, allowing them to be operated as a single multifamily community. Reserve at Campbell’s Creek is located at 5616 Farm Pond Ln. and TheWoodlands is located at 6401 Woodbend Dr. in the desirable pocket of East Charlotte, 20 minutes east of downtown.
Lion’s Ben Kriegsman said, “We had a unique opportunity to purchase both properties out of foreclosure in a transaction with the prior sponsor’s lender, which was represented by John Phoenix and Gavin Conlon at Cushman and Wakefield. The Woodlands will see a full renovation program on the interiors and exteriors. Reserve at Campbell’s Creek was previously renovated. Investments in necessary deferred maintenance and upgraded amenities will also be made at both.”

In Reynoldstown, scraggly motel’s rebirth as affordable housing is finished

In Reynoldstown, scraggly motel’s rebirth as affordable housing is finished
Josh Green

In its waning days as a motel, the low-slung 1960s property at 277 Moreland Ave. was a magnet for unflattering reviews, with guests complaining that $50-per-night rooms were unkempt and infested with bed bugs—or worse.
As of today, those days are officially in the rearview.
Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and development partners are scheduled to host a grand opening ceremony this afternoon for an adaptive-reuse project now called Ralph David House, formerly the Atlanta Motel.
Project leaders say the conversion provides a needed injection of supportive, eastside affordable housing, while continuing a residential rebirth along Moreland Avenue.
Like three “rapid housing” initiatives around the city both opened and in progress—The Melody downtown, the new 729 Bonaventure building in Old Fourth Ward, and a modular project set to break ground soon near Atlantic Station—Ralph David House will offer wraparound services for formerly unhoused residents. Those services will be provided in onsite offices, while elsewhere the property features a lounge for socializing, per the city.

Stryant Construction converted the property into 56 affordable housing apartments with some of the lowest rent caps for tenants—30 percent of the area median income—for new construction across the city in recent memory. It’s located where Moreland Avenue meets Interstate 20.
Dickens also hosted the project’s formal groundbreaking in December last year.
Stryant will remain onboard to handle all aspects of the property for the next 30 years, including management, according to Stan Sugarman, Stryant managing partner.
Each of the Ralph David House apartments will be reserved people who’ve been unhoused and are making less than 30 percent AMI. Rents and utility costs combined will be capped at 30 percent of each renter’s income, Stryant officials have said.

The exterior of the motel building received a facelift—fresh paint, windows, doors, amenity areas, and more—with a goal of improving its visibility from both Moreland Avenue and I-20, according to Terminus Design Group, the project’s architect of record.
Interiors have been renovated to the bones and outfitted with modern, multifamily finishes consistent with market-rate deals in the area, per the architecture firm.
Blueprints called for installing a social worker’s office onsite and configuring at least six of the units to be ADA compliant, with the rest designed to meet Fair Housing Guidelines.
Other partners on the motel conversion include Atlanta Housing, Invest Atlanta, Tandem Bank, Partners for Home, and Atlanta Affordable Housing Fund. Prior to Stryant’s involvement, city records indicate the .75-acre property last sold in 1997 for $1.06 million.
City and Beltline officials, Reynoldstown neighborhood leadership, and three different Neighborhood Planning Units voiced support for the project in pre-development phases.

As part of ongoing Best of Atlanta 2024 coverage, Urbanize’s fourth-annual Best Atlanta Neighborhood tournament is kicking off with 16 places vying for the prestige of being called the city’s greatest. (Note: Seeding from 1 to 16 was determined by reader nominations this month—so no pitchforks, please.)
For each Round 1 contest, voting will be open for just 24 hours. Please, let’s keep the tourney fun and positive, as one neighborhood rises above the rest in very public fashion. The eliminations begin now!
…
(7) Cabbagetown

In this battle of David versus Goliath, or PBR versus Prada, Cabbagetown’s diminutive size shouldn’t be underestimated, because its sense of pride is so big. On the sensible urban-planning front, this year saw a two-way, protected cycle track added through Cabbagetown that provides a better connection to both the Beltline’s Eastside Trail and west toward downtown.
Otherwise, apart from infrastructure fixes in the Krog Street Tunnel, major changes in Cabbagetown were as few and far between as actual homes for sale. (Precisely three C-town properties are on the market right now, all of them priced north of $730,000.) That speaks to the charming neighborhood’s cachet—and locals’ unwillingness to leave.
…
(10) Buckhead

Yes, Buckhead is technically a vast patchwork of neighborhoods, but we’ll follow the lead of nominators this year and consider them all together. And what a big year 2024 was—all across Buckhead. On the high-rise residential front, The Dillon project is turning out to be a condo success story, while nearly 500 luxury apartments continue climbing over Buckhead Village, and another condo tower starts lumbering through the pipeline.
This year also saw too-cool people bridge projects start coming together—one on PATH400, another on the Beltline loop—that should make Buckhead more of a multi-use trail destination. Add a new public park project, Atlanta Opera’s $45-million plans, and new Peachtree Road-fronting medical buildings with a charitable purpose to the mix, and yes, it’s been a notable year indeed.

Overhaul of downtown Decatur corner is D.O.A. Now what?

Overhaul of downtown Decatur corner is D.O.A. Now what?

An infill project planned for a prominent, empty Decatur corner described as a “premium dog park” where “doggie dreams come true” will in fact not be coming true. Which begs the question: What should step up in its place?
Dog-centric hangout Off Leash, billed as a “state-of-the-art oasis for canines and dog owners,” has pulled the plug on its new Alpharetta location after only five months in business in a former Rite Aid Pharmacy. The company has also axed plans for a second location in downtown Decatur, as Decaturish/Appen Media first relayed.
Off Leash was initially slated to open this year on a Decatur corner across the street from Kimball House restaurant and the city’s popular Dairy Queen. A pause in construction last summer lent the first indication that not everything was going according to plan.
Michael Wess, a Bull Realty partner who brokered the leasing deal with Off Leash, declined to offer details this week as to why Off Leash cancelled Decatur plans and what might come next for the property. Off Leash’s website has been taken down.
“I don’t have any information to share, unfortunately,” Wess said.

Joe May Cleaners, a dry-cleaning business, relocated from the lone building at 240 and 250 E. Trinity Place earlier this year, as preliminary construction work moved forward. That work has been paused now for months.
The .65-acre property in question includes an open field that’s long been a blank spot in downtown Decatur’s otherwise walkable, vibrant urban fabric. Next door is a low-rise building where the dry cleaners had operated before vacating to a new location nearby.

Off Leash’s plans called for an indoor restaurant (for humans) with a large patio attached. Next to that would have been a private dog park, partially covered.

Overhaul of downtown Decatur corner is D.O.A. Now what?
Josh Green

An infill project planned for a prominent, empty Decatur corner described as a “premium dog park” where “doggie dreams come true” will in fact not be coming true. Which begs the question: What should step up in its place?
Dog-centric hangout Off Leash, billed as a “state-of-the-art oasis for canines and dog owners,” has pulled the plug on its new Alpharetta location after only five months in business in a former Rite Aid Pharmacy. The company has also axed plans for a second location in downtown Decatur, as Decaturish/Appen Media first relayed.
Off Leash was initially slated to open this year on a Decatur corner across the street from Kimball House restaurant and the city’s popular Dairy Queen. A pause in construction last summer lent the first indication that not everything was going according to plan.
Michael Wess, a Bull Realty partner who brokered the leasing deal with Off Leash, declined to offer details this week as to why Off Leash cancelled Decatur plans and what might come next for the property. Off Leash’s website has been taken down.
“I don’t have any information to share, unfortunately,” Wess said.

Joe May Cleaners, a dry-cleaning business, relocated from the lone building at 240 and 250 E. Trinity Place earlier this year, as preliminary construction work moved forward. That work has been paused now for months.
