100-Year-Old Charlotte Office Tower Converting to Hotel
100-Year-Old Charlotte Office Tower Converting to Hotel
KHP Capital Partners plans to convert the historic Johnston Building into a 245-room hotel. To be called The Beckwith Hotel, the 100-year-old, 17-story office tower at 212 S. Tryon St. will be gutted and whats renovated will be designed by Gensler.
The Charlotte Business Journal reports that KHP acquired the building from Spaulding & Slye Investments in May for $19.3 million.
The conversion plans for the building include hotel rooms, a ground-floor restaurant and coffee shop, a 10,000-square-foot meeting room, a 3,500-square-foot ballroom and a rooftop bar.
KHP plans to take advantage of any tax credits due to the building’s historic designation. The project is expected to be delivered in the summer of 2026.
Built in 1924, it was the tallest building in Charlotte when it opened.

Developers are hoping to continue a Blandtown building boom that’s packed on hundreds of apartments, townhomes, and standalone houses alongside new entertainment and dining options in recent years, according to paperwork filed with the city.
Atlanta-based Columbia Ventures recently submitted plans to the City of Atlanta Zoning Committee for turning 8.9 acres of tucked-away industrial land into 845 apartments on Huber Street.
The 1521 Huber St. site is adjacent to active railroad lines, just east of Topgolf Atlanta, Ellsworth Industrial Boulevard, and businesses such as Scope Fine Art and Steady Hand Beer Co.
A new segment of the Atlanta Beltline’s 22-mile mainline loop is actively under construction roughly a block south of the site.
As ATL development wonks may recall, Smyrna Ready-Mix fought for several years for approval to turn the acreage into a concrete mixing plant—plans that rankled neighbors and area homebuilders, who feared an increase in heavy truck traffic and pollution, and were ultimately denied by the city.
Now Columbia Ventures is asking the zoning committee to rezone the site from a heavy industrial designation (I-2) to one that would allow mixed residential and commercial uses (MRC-3).

Plans compiled by Dynamik Design architects call for two separate buildings to rise across two phases, each standing up to seven stories. No retail is included in plans, but 845 parking spaces (one per unit) are. One hundred total bike-storage spaces would also be provided in parking decks.
When finished, the complex would include 245 units reserved as affordable housing, at rates between 50 and 80 percent of the area median income. The average size of apartments overall would be 745 square feet, according to plans filed with the zoning committee.

Notable intown projects in Columbia Ventures’ recent portfolio include the Citizen apartment building that lords over the Eastside Trail in Old Fourth Ward, and the mixed-use transformation of formerly underused MARTA parking lots in Edgewood, where more than 350 apartments now stand.
The Blandtown area in question could be officially Beltline-connected in less than a year.

According to Atlanta Beltline Inc.’s most recent construction update, Northwest Trail—Segment 5 has encountered unexpected utility infrastructure but remains on pace to be open sometime next fall.
That .7-mile section, which begins where the Westside Trail ends at Marietta Boulevard and Huff Road, broke ground in May. Once completed, the Northwest Trail will be a snaking, off-street connection that stretches between Blandtown, residential Buckhead, and the Lindbergh area.
Another multi-use trail project in the area, PATH Foundation’s Silver Comet Connector, broke ground early this year just west of Topgolf and Ellsworth Industrial Boulevard.

Regional Bank Scores Naming Rights on Atlanta Highrise
Regional Bank Scores Naming Rights on Atlanta Highrise
SouthState Bank leased 87,000 square feet at the 19-story Prominence building, making it the building’s largest tenant. That means it gets to plaster its name on the top of the building.
The Atlanta Business Chronicle reports that Prominence, the tower at Piedmont and Lenox roads, was completed in 1999 and has, over the years, supplied space to Marsh & McLennan, Wells Fargo Insurance and GE Digital.
Earlier this year, SouthState said it would acquire Texas-based Independent Bank Group Inc. for $2 billion, creating a combined bank with $65 billion in total assets.
In Atlanta, SouthState ranks ninth in deposit market share with $8.2 billion of deposits as of June 30. It has 44 branches in Georgia.
JLL’s Josh Hirsh and Patrick Baughman represented SouthState in the deal.

A modern-style townhome community is edging toward groundbreaking in a pocket of Southwest Atlanta that’s seen a residential growth spurt in recent years.
Flicker Development owner Dan Flicker tells Urbanize Atlanta the 14-unit project is set to rise on two connected properties where Metropolitan Parkway meets Gillette Avenue, replacing a vacant “huge eyesore” that’s dogged Adair Park neighbors for years.
The historic Gillette Mansion overlooks the sloped site from the south.
As drawn up by Taylor Design Studio, the townhomes would rise at 801 and 805 Metropolitan Parkway, about two miles south of Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Flicker says the development process will likely start early next year on two rows of seven townhomes, with a central drive and wide sidewalk along Metropolitan Parkway.

Plans call for “ultra-efficient” floorplans across three stories with one-car garages and private rooftop decks, many of them with downtown skyline views, per Flicker. The room count would be three bedrooms and three bathrooms across roughly 1,270 square feet, a number that includes the garages.
It’s too early to predict pricing, but Flicker says all of the townhomes will be for sale and not rentals.
“Pricing these out for sale one to two years from now, which is our likely timeline, seems dubious, but I can say these will all be market-rate,” Flicker said.
The site is across the street from the 100-townhome rental community by Empire Communities called Empire Metro (since renamed Kennett 776) in the Pittsburgh neighborhood. A Fit Efx Training Center workout facility is located just north of the site, and the Adair Court senior housing complex opened several years ago just west.
Two blocks north, in the same neighborhood, is sprawling former warehouse complex Met Atlanta. That hub for makers and artists was bought for $70 million in September by a Charlotte-based subsidiary of healthcare company Atrium Health for rumored development of a new intown hospital.

Flicker says the site plan in Adair Park could grow to include more of the block, as the longtime owner of three “vacant-ish” parcels to the immediate north is now entertaining offers. Construction timelines are contingent, to a degree, on financing and whether those properties can be added to the scope, according to Flicker.
Flicker’s company is also behind plans for a unique multifamily building about a mile farther south on Metropolitan Parkway, within walking distance of the Beltline’s Southside Trail corridor. That project has been met with neighbor concerns over parking and remains in design phases for now.

Transformation of Sweet Auburn corner officially breaks ground
Transformation of Sweet Auburn corner officially breaks ground
Transformation of Sweet Auburn corner officially breaks ground
Josh Green
Wed, 12/11/2024 – 10:25
A project years in the making that aims to bring vitality to one of Atlanta’s most richly historic streets is officially underway.
Officials with longtime Sweet Auburn pillars Butler Street Community Development Corporation, Wisconsin-based affordable housing developer Gorman & Company, and national commercial firm Red Rock Global hosted a groundbreaking Wednesday for Sweet Auburn Grande.
The mixed-use venture, per the development team, will usher in a “new era of affordable housing and community revitalization” in a historic, downtown-adjacent section of the city that’s suffered from disinvestment for generations but is showing signs of a comeback.
For phase one, Sweet Auburn Grande’s finalized plans call for building 109 multifamily residences along Auburn Avenue at the southeast corner of the Jesse Hill Jr. Drive intersection. Roughly 8,700 square feet of commercial space will be included at street level, along with structured parking.
That retail component will be “ideally positioned to serve [Sweet Auburn Grande] residents and the influx of foot traffic from Georgia State University students and visitors to nearby Martin Luther King Jr. historical sites,” as Gorman officials noted in a groundbreaking announcement.
Finalized plans call for 109 apartments, with 92 of them reserved for residents earning, at most, either 30, 50, or 80 percent of the area median income. Seventeen of the apartments will rent for market-rate.
“This project is about honoring our community’s history while building a brighter future,” Alfonza Marshall, Butler Street CDC’s board chair, said in a prepared statement.

Eventually, the two-phase Sweet Auburn Grande project calls for reviving corners on the southwest and southeast sides of where Auburn Avenue meets Jesse Hill Jr. Drive.
The corners in question are currently dead zones of boarded-up, historically significant buildings and surface parking lots.
With phase one, the schedule calls for 23 months of construction, which would put the roughly $56-million project’s opening in fall 2026, Gorman officials previously told Urbanize Atlanta. Invest Atlanta’s Board of Directors in September approved a $28.3 million tax exempt loan that green-lighted the property’s closing.
The initial phase will incorporate the historic but long-vacant 229 Auburn building (Atlanta Life Insurance Building). That structure once housed pioneering Black businesses during the district’s heyday, including Atlanta State Savings Bank, the first Black-owned bank in the city and Georgia’s first state-chartered Black bank.
The building was constructed in 1908 and more recently housed the Butler Street CDC.
Meanwhile, across the street, the Sweet Auburn Grande project’s second phase calls for restoring two more historic structures: the 1920 former Butler Street YMCA-JD Winston Branch and the Walden Building.
An attractive, functional public greenspace would also be added at the corner, at the base of the iconic, towering John Lewis HERO Mural.

Butler Street CDC, which owns the 219 Auburn Avenue property that’s currently a parking lot, rechristened that corner “Good Trouble John Lewis Memorial Park” in 2022.
Gorman officials have said development costs are expected to come in around $18 million for the second phase, but restoration work on the former YMCA building would have different funding sources. A timeline for construction has yet to emerge as complex financing deals are worked out; but Joel Reed, Gorman’s Southeast market president, has said a late-2025 start date for moving phase two forward is possible.
Gorman plans to oversee the Sweet Auburn project’s development, design, construction, and management. Butler Street CDC, meanwhile, will be on board to continue stewardship of Sweet Auburn’s historic assets, officials said this week.

Elsewhere in Atlanta, Gorman has completed projects Hamilton Hills across the street from MARTA’s westernmost station and the Residences at Westview, a 60-unit affordable housing complex near Westview Cemetery.
The company is also behind a modern-style, proposed warehouse conversion and expansion that could see nearly 200 more rentals take shape next to MARTA’s West End transit hub.

Transformation of Sweet Auburn corner officially breaks ground

A project years in the making that aims to bring vitality to one of Atlanta’s most richly historic streets is officially underway.
Officials with longtime Sweet Auburn pillars Butler Street Community Development Corporation, Wisconsin-based affordable housing developer Gorman & Company, and national commercial firm Red Rock Global hosted a groundbreaking Wednesday for Sweet Auburn Grande.
The mixed-use venture, per the development team, will usher in a “new era of affordable housing and community revitalization” in a historic, downtown-adjacent section of the city that’s suffered from disinvestment for generations but is showing signs of a comeback.
For phase one, Sweet Auburn Grande’s finalized plans call for building 109 multifamily residences along Auburn Avenue at the southeast corner of the Jesse Hill Jr. Drive intersection. Roughly 8,700 square feet of commercial space will be included at street level, along with structured parking.
That retail component will be “ideally positioned to serve [Sweet Auburn Grande] residents and the influx of foot traffic from Georgia State University students and visitors to nearby Martin Luther King Jr. historical sites,” as Gorman officials noted in a groundbreaking announcement.
Finalized plans call for 109 apartments, with 92 of them reserved for residents earning, at most, either 30, 50, or 80 percent of the area median income. Seventeen of the apartments will rent for market-rate.
“This project is about honoring our community’s history while building a brighter future,” Alfonza Marshall, Butler Street CDC’s board chair, said in a prepared statement.

Eventually, the two-phase Sweet Auburn Grande project calls for reviving corners on the southwest and southeast sides of where Auburn Avenue meets Jesse Hill Jr. Drive.
The corners in question are currently dead zones of boarded-up, historically significant buildings and surface parking lots.
With phase one, the schedule calls for 23 months of construction, which would put the roughly $56-million project’s opening in fall 2026, Gorman officials previously told Urbanize Atlanta. Invest Atlanta’s Board of Directors in September approved a $28.3 million tax exempt loan that green-lighted the property’s closing.

Portman Looking to Redo Atlanta-Area Office Park
Portman Looking to Redo Atlanta-Area Office Park
Portman Holdings wants to convert an Alpharetta office park into a mixed-use development. Portman is asking the town to let him rezone about 20 acres of the Brookside office campus along Old Milton Parkway, not far from the Avalon development. The property includes two 5-story office buildings known as Brookside I and II.
According to plans submitted to the state and city of Alpharetta, Portman wants to redevelop the campus with more than 300 apartments, dozens of townhomes and retail space. The project would retain one office building or about 130,000 square feet.
The Atlanta Business Chronicle reports Portman has the property under contract. Portman’s project is set to go before the planning commission and city council in April 2025. If it gets rezoning approval, the redevelopment could kick off in summer 2026.
Portman would join a host of developers looking at ways to revive outdated office properties across the metro area.
