Investor Building Two, Improving One Atlanta Mixed-Income Housing Project

Advantage Capital has come up with more than $53 million in state low-income housing tax credits to support the development and rehabilitation of three communities in the metro area. Altogether, these projects would deliver more than 600 units of affordable housing and cost more than $200 million to build.

Two new residential developments will rise in Southwest Atlanta’s Greenbriar neighborhood.

The Atlanta Business Journal reports the Flats at Stone Hogan is slated to feature 256 affordable housing units available to households earning less than the area median income. The adjacent Villas at Stone Hogan development would comprise 192 affordable units reserved for lower-income renters aged 55 and older. Zimmerman Properties is in line to deliver both communities. The projects would cost approximately $100 million and $70 million to develop, respectively.

Additionally, Advantage Capital’s investment will help fund the roughly $20 million revitalization of Applewood Towers.

Applewood Towers redevelopment should be completed by the end of 2025. The two new-construction developments lining Stone Hogan Connector Road are expected to wrap in mid-2027.

Vanderbilt Pays $66.9M for Downtown Nashville Parcels

Vanderbilt University is buying up land in downtown Nashville to expand its footprint in the region. The university paid $66.9 million for a retail center on the town’s West End. The seller was Park Place Retail Partners. They paid $5.67 million for the four-parcel site in 2005.

The 3.23-acre property is anchored by the Park Place shopping center, which offers multiple restaurants, shops and office space in addition to Chipotle and Ted’s Montana Grill. The nearly 60,000-square-foot shopping center was constructed in 1985.

Vanderbilt will lease back the properties to the sellers.

The Nashville Business Journal reports the purchase is the latest addition to the university’s fast-growing Midtown portfolio.Vanderbilt has been buying up Midtown land for the last few years as it plans for the evolution of its campus in coming years, according to a previous statement. The latest purchase racks up the university’s land transaction volume to more than $260 million since 2019.

Investor Fund to Focus on Sunbelt Self-Storage Deals

Madison Capital Group launched the Go Store It Opportunity Fund, LP, a $250 million self-storage investment initiative aimed at acquiring and developing a diversified portfolio across high-growth Sun Belt markets, concentrating on Florida, North Carolina and Georgia.

The Go Store It Opportunity Fund, LP encompasses a strategy that value-add acquisitions of under-managed, locally owned facilities with below-market rents, create potential for rental growth and operational improvements. The fund will also pursue pre-stabilized acquisitions, enabling it to acquire properties at a discount, with valuations nearing replacement cost and potential for improved cap rates as the properties stabilize. Additionally, the fund will target stabilized assets with strong occupancy rates, providing incremental growth in high-demand areas.

The fund also integrates a development component to construct high-quality storage facilities in select markets with favorable supply-demand dynamics. By strategically building in suburban, urban fringe, and urban core areas, the fund aims to meet diverse storage needs across communities in the Sun Belt.

Site work has kicked off for a project that aims to add what developers call walkable, essential, and attainable housing in a growing part of the metro experiencing an influx of outside investment.

Alpharetta-based Parkland Communities recently broke ground on 124 build-to-rent townhomes in Fayetteville called Morgan Park. The 9.3-acre site, located within walking distance of the city’s historic downtown, is situated where E. Lanier Avenue meets Booker Avenue.

Parkland officials say the BTR community—described as “a testament to New-Urbanism planning”—is scheduled to see vertical construction next summer, following about nine months of land development.

The goal with Morgan Park is to create a parklike setting with a central town green and 10 residential buildings surrounding it. Also at the heart of the project will be two pools, a large cabana, a playfield, and mail kiosk.

Rents at Morgan Park will start at $2,400 monthly, to include all maintenance, according to Parkland reps. That entry price is described as “surprisingly lower than homeownership costs” in a project groundbreaking announcement.

Options will range from two-bedroom townhomes with 1,600 square feet up to three-bedroom units with 1,950 square feet, two and ½ bathrooms, and a loft. Each will include a rear-entry, one-car garage and covered outdoor living space.

Morgan Park’s site is about four and ½ miles from the growing Trilith studio complex and mixed-use mini city. Downtown Atlanta is 23 miles north.

Project officials also cite proximity to the U.S. Soccer Federation’s under-construction National Training Center and Headquarters in Fayette County as a plus. That 200-acre project is expected to cost north of $200 million and create some 400 jobs for the area.

Elsewhere in the metro, the BTR model has drawn criticism for claiming available land that could have gone to for-sale housing, where first-time homebuyers especially could start to build equity. Advocates say the housing type allows occupants more flexibility and lower costs in many cases than traditional mortgages.

Other Parkland projects in the works include a sprawling Stonecrest community east of Atlanta, which has been marketed as a renting and buying option for the expected 7,500 future employees at EV carmaker Rivian’s manufacturing plant.

Two and ½ years after post-pandemic construction began, an Old Fourth Ward tower that blurs the lines between hotel flexibility and amenitized apartments was recently declared finished.

Ponce City Market’s hospitality living concept, Scout Living, concludes a phase-two growth spurt that’s seen the landmark former Sears, Roebuck & Co. building bookended by high-rise, residential development.

Standing 21 stories, Scout Living began accepting guests in September for its 405 one and two-bedroom units that can be booked for a single night, a week, or months at a time. Officials with developer and owner Jamestown declared all construction on the building finished earlier this week, providing fresh images of interiors and amenities.

Located on the eastern edge of Ponce City Market’s block at 639 Glen Iris Drive, Scout Living marks the third new-construction building to rise around the adaptive-reuse main building since it opened in 2015. National flex-living operator Placemakr, which is overseeing the building’s operations, has called it “a first-of-its-kind development in the U.S.”

Scout Living’s units differ from most traditional new Atlanta apartments by coming fully furnished (that includes art on the walls and kitchens with all cooking equipment and utensils), along with hotel-style services and amenities. According to Jamestown reps, laundry and dry-cleaning, housekeeping, and other services such as restocking of essentials are available at the push of a button—and for a price.  

Lodging options at Scout Living start with studio units that count between 397 and 489 square feet. Those include a queen bed, washer and dryer, and kitchenette.

Recent rates range from a starting price of $216 per night for members, up to $268 and up per night on weekends. (Units with city views are $10 to $13 extra per night. Also, nonmembers can expect to pay around $40 more per night.) For longer-term stays, the studio options start at $1,500 per month.

Meanwhile, the priciest options are two-bedroom, two-bathroom units (723 to 787 square feet) with city views, full refrigerators, and in-unit laundry.

For nonmembers, those were recently going for $472 to $493 per night. Longer-term stays for Scout Living’s two-bedroom options start around $2,900 monthly.

Amenities include a pool and terrace on the roof (with sweet views), a wellness studio, virtual check-in, a chef’s kitchen, and a lounge/coworking/private event space on the second floor, among other amenities.

Elsewhere, the building includes 12,000 square feet of retail at the ground floor—all of it with 21-foot ceiling heights intended for a food-and-beverage concept and convenience store with grab-and-go items, per Jamestown.

Jamestown began building on PCM and the Beltline’s popularity in early 2022, breaking ground on the property’s first new ground-up tower, Signal House, an apartment building (with rents up to $7,000 monthly) lording over the Eastside Trail. That building also stands 21 stories.

Elsewhere along Ponce, the campus expansion also includes 619 Ponce, a four-story mass timber loft office building that finished construction in April.

Two and ½ years after post-pandemic construction began, an Old Fourth Ward tower that blurs the lines between hotel flexibility and amenitized apartments was recently declared finished.

Ponce City Market’s hospitality living concept, Scout Living, concludes a phase-two growth spurt that’s seen the landmark former Sears, Roebuck & Co. building bookended by high-rise, residential development.

Standing 21 stories, Scout Living began accepting guests in September for its 405 one and two-bedroom units that can be booked for a single night, a week, or months at a time. Officials with developer and owner Jamestown declared all construction on the building finished earlier this week, providing fresh images of interiors and amenities.

Located on the eastern edge of Ponce City Market’s block at 639 Glen Iris Drive, Scout Living marks the third new-construction building to rise around the adaptive-reuse main building since it opened in 2015. National flex-living operator Placemakr, which is overseeing the building’s operations, has called it “a first-of-its-kind development in the U.S.”

Scout Living’s units differ from most traditional new Atlanta apartments by coming fully furnished (that includes art on the walls and kitchens with all cooking equipment and utensils), along with hotel-style services and amenities. According to Jamestown reps, laundry and dry-cleaning, housekeeping, and other services such as restocking of essentials are available at the push of a button—and for a price.  

Lodging options at Scout Living start with studio units that count between 397 and 489 square feet. Those include a queen bed, washer and dryer, and kitchenette.

Recent rates range from a starting price of $216 per night for members, up to $268 and up per night on weekends. (Units with city views are $10 to $13 extra per night. Also, nonmembers can expect to pay around $40 more per night.) For longer-term stays, the studio options start at $1,500 per month.

Meanwhile, the priciest options are two-bedroom, two-bathroom units (723 to 787 square feet) with city views, full refrigerators, and in-unit laundry.

For nonmembers, those were recently going for $472 to $493 per night. Longer-term stays for Scout Living’s two-bedroom options start around $2,900 monthly.

Amenities include a pool and terrace on the roof (with sweet views), a wellness studio, virtual check-in, a chef’s kitchen, and a lounge/coworking/private event space on the second floor, among other amenities.

Elsewhere, the building includes 12,000 square feet of retail at the ground floor—all of it with 21-foot ceiling heights intended for a food-and-beverage concept and convenience store with grab-and-go items, per Jamestown.

Jamestown began building on PCM and the Beltline’s popularity in early 2022, breaking ground on the property’s first new ground-up tower, Signal House, an apartment building (with rents up to $7,000 monthly) lording over the Eastside Trail. That building also stands 21 stories.

Elsewhere along Ponce, the campus expansion also includes 619 Ponce, a four-story mass timber loft office building that finished construction in April.

One of the nation’s largest homebuilders is set to move forward with its biggest land development to date in metro Atlanta, promising a mix of housing that’s exceptionally green.

Officials with Atlanta-based Beazer Homes have scheduled a groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday morning at a site nearly the size of Piedmont Park, situated north of downtown Marietta, for a 591-home project called GreenHouse.

The 150 Laura Lake Road project will take shape just east of the Interstate 75 and I-575 split, south of Barrett Parkway near the Town Center at Cobb shopping center.

According to site plans, a lake and cemetery border the property today and will be preserved.

GreenHouse plans call for a mix of townhomes, ranch-style, and two-story homes, all of them certified under the U.S. Department of Energy as a Zero Energy Ready Home. That certification indicates a level of construction that exceeds all local construction and energy codes, according to Beazer officials.

GreenHouse amenities are expected to include miles of nature trails (sample name: “The Long and Winding Road”), pocket parks (one called “Poets Corner”), and gardens, with a goal of creating a relaxed atmosphere, per Beazer officials.

The first GreenHouse homes are scheduled to be released for sale in fall 2025.

Beazer announced in May it had acquired the 174-acre property in the City of Marietta, marking the company’s largest land acquisition in the metro to date.

Elsewhere, Beazer counts 12 other communities around the metro in various stages of development, spanning from Powder Springs and Kennesaw to Cumming, Atlanta, and Decatur.  

We’ve asked Beazer reps for more visuals, including home renderings, and pricing details. This story will be updated with any additional information that comes.
