Two and ½ years after it officially broke ground, another glassy high-rise is at the cusp of opening on Atlanta’s signature street with a mix of uses.
Having replaced a surface parking lot, the 31-story Society Atlanta is the latest project in a national brand that developers say offers relative affordability in choice locations. In Atlanta, that means co-living (read: roommate-style) floorplans in non-student housing at Society Atlanta, in some cases.
National real estate firm PMG and Toronto-based private equity and asset management company Greybrook announced today pre-leasing has begun at the 811 Peachtree St. building, with first move-ins scheduled for early next month.
In addition to 460 apartments, the project will deliver more than 87,000 square feet of office space and 14,500 square feet of ground-level retail in hopes of enlivening one of Midtown’s densest sections.
Getting a foot in the door at this new Society costs $1,505 monthly. That rents one bedroom and one bathroom in 423 square feet, but in a rent-by-bedroom arrangement with a shared kitchen, living room, dining room, and balcony.

That does represent a slight monthly cost savings over the most recent Midtown apartment high-rise to deliver, Loria Ansley, as one example. Studio apartments at that project, also located on Peachtree Street near the High Museum of Art, start at $1,546 square feet with a little more square footage—but no shared spaces.
Meanwhile, the priciest rentals at Society Atlanta listed right now ask $4,420 monthly for three bedrooms and three bathrooms in 1,286 square feet.
Two months of free rent is being offered as a grand opening special.
Perks of the building include a yoga lawn and pool deck positioned atop a parking garage, an app-based key entry system, and modern gym and fitness studios described by project officials as “massive.” Daily fitness events are planned.
Cushman & Wakefield has been tasked with leasing two full floors of Class A office space at the building, each roughly 43,000 square feet. Bridger Properties is handling retail leasing at street level, with spaces ranging from 736 to 14,500 square feet, per officials.
Ryan Shear, a PMG managing partner, said in the announcement the company has been “longtime admirers of Midtown” and that its Peachtree Street building “brings a new level of modern living, abundant amenities, and engaging event programming to the market.”

The Cooper Carry-designed building claimed a surface parking lot at the southeast corner of Peachtree and 6th streets. For several years, The Integral Group was planning a visually striking apartment tower called EVIVA Peachtree for the site but eventually walked way in 2018, reopening the lot to paid parking for several years.
The pricey corner parcel totaling 1.27 acres went for $20.3 million in 2021, PMG reps said at the time. Society Atlanta officially broke ground in May 2022.
Like other projects under the Society Living concept, PMG says Society Atlanta was created to address an insatiable demand for reasonable rents close to walkable, urban centers.

More than 8,500 units are planned nationally as part of Society Living developments, including Society Las Olas in downtown Fort Lauderdale and others in Miami and Orlando. Similar projects in Brooklyn, Denver, and Nashville are underway. PMG officials say the company has delivered more than $11 billion in assets across the country over the past three decades.

Fancy roaming the country in a luxury motorcoach, but don’t want to sacrifice proximity to pickleball and a resort-style pool? A new concept bound for the North Georgia Mountains aims to rectify that situation.
Like a new $16-million complex near Kennesaw and many others around the country catering to discerning, post-COVID travelers, a luxury RV resort project called DiVine Village on the outskirts of Dahlonega is being designed to blend a sense of adventure with haute comforts and natural beauty.
Recently announced plans for DiVine Village call for 260 RV sites and short-term rentals spread across 110 lakeside acres at 3084 Town Creek Church Road.
The project’s goal is to capitalize on proximity to Georgia wine country and views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with charming Dahlonega (named one of Travel + Leisure magazine’s best American small towns last year) down the road.

DiVine Village was founded by faith-based local entrepreneurs Tom Petrillo and his wife, Karen, and the design team is comprised of Ralph Schuler of JVB Architects (his portfolio includes six deluxe RV resorts in Florida) and Pro Vision Design’s Peter Shipps, a Dahlonega resident behind the well-known Old Edwards Inn in Highlands, N.C.
Alongside what’s described as “luxury motorcoach pads” and “state-of-the-art hookups,” DiVine Village calls for obligatory pickleball courts, an event space, a wine tasting room, a dog park, and a clubhouse next to the resort-style pool with cabanas, hot tubs, and a pool bar. Lakeside walking trails with fire pits and “meditation moments” are also in the mix.
“We were inspired by Dahlonega’s picturesque views, welcoming community, and inherent charm, and we intend to keep it beautifully majestic,” Petrillo noted in the project’s announcement.

DiVine Village is set for a public hearing Dec. 9 to outline plans. Project officials expect to break ground in early 2025.

I-285 Express Lanes transit project shows signs of life

I-285 Express Lanes transit project shows signs of life

A state, regional, and local initiative that aims to build transit options along 33 and ½ miles of Atlanta’s Interstate 285 loop is entering a new phase, with a goal of better preparing the region for future growth.
Officials with MARTA, the Georgia Department of Transportation, and the Atlanta-region Transit Link Authority, or ATL, today announced a series of meetings scheduled for early December to gather public feedback on the I-285 Express Lanes Transit Study’s preliminary plans.
The meetings, to be held in partnership with city and county officials along the I-285 corridor, will serve to update residents and commuters on planned changes for one of Georgia’s busiest transportation corridors, the northern arc of I-285, according to MARTA.
GDOT’s I-285 Top End Express Lanes project calls for building two new express lanes, all separated by barriers, next to existing lanes around the northern arc.
The section of I-285 in question for transit spans between MARTA’s Indian Creek MARTA station near Stone Mountain (the system’s easternmost stop) and H.E. Holmes MARTA station (the westernmost stop).

The ATL has been leading efforts to study how transit service could best be incorporated into the I-285 express lanes GDOT plans to build. Exactly what the transit options might look like hasn’t been finalized, but GDOT has said the new lanes will be built to accommodate bus rapid transit, or BRT. Cost estimates are also TBD.
Specifically, public transit providers that will operate in new lanes—at no additional cost to transit riders per trip—include MARTA, Xpress, and state-registered van pools. A Peach Pass will be required for drivers.
Project leaders say public input is key to refining plans for flexible, reliable transit in the corridor.
According to GDOT, more than 240,000 vehicles use the stretch of I-285 in question each weekday. The transit study area is expected to see a 42-percent population surge and 33-percent bump in job growth by 2050, which MARTA says underscores the need for better transit options.
The I-285 transit study is “a pivotal step in shaping how we address the region’s growing need for expanded and reliable public transportation,” Collie Greenwood, MARTA general manager and CEO, said in an update today. “By tapping into the funded Express Lanes infrastructure investments already planned for I-285, we have an opportunity to provide efficient transit solutions that benefit residents and commuters alike.”

Another focus of the study will identify needed improvements—such as optimal station and ramp locations, along with potential funding sources—for making I-285 transit access a viable reality.
According to GDOT, a procurement and construction schedule for the project’s initial phases is being put together now. The express lanes are expected to be rolled out in three different phases.
A final study report on transportation options along I-285’s northern arc is scheduled to be completed next summer.
Anyone interested in submitting input on the I-285 project should do so either in-person or online (see bottom of this page) by Dec. 18, according to MARTA.

A state, regional, and local initiative that aims to build transit options along 33 and ½ miles of Atlanta’s Interstate 285 loop is entering a new phase, with a goal of better preparing the region for future growth.
Officials with MARTA, the Georgia Department of Transportation, and the Atlanta-region Transit Link Authority, or ATL, today announced a series of meetings scheduled for early December to gather public feedback on the I-285 Express Lanes Transit Study’s preliminary plans.
The meetings, to be held in partnership with city and county officials along the I-285 corridor, will serve to update residents and commuters on planned changes for one of Georgia’s busiest transportation corridors, the northern arc of I-285, according to MARTA.
GDOT’s I-285 Top End Express Lanes project calls for building two new express lanes, all separated by barriers, next to existing lanes around the northern arc.
The section of I-285 in question for transit spans between MARTA’s Indian Creek MARTA station near Stone Mountain (the system’s easternmost stop) and H.E. Holmes MARTA station (the westernmost stop).

Developer interest in Atlanta’s western suburbs near several regional attractions continues.
Charlotte-based, mixed-use developer Crescent Communities has closed on land about 20 miles west of downtown to build its fourth RENDER-branded project in the metro.
RENDER Douglasville is slated to take shape at 2553 Fairburn Road as part of The Foxfield Company’s 59-acre The Trails development, which includes the new 500,000-square-foot Great Point Studios film complex anchored by Lionsgate.
Other points of interest in the area include Sweetwater Creek State Park, Six Flags Over Georgia, and downtown Douglasville. The city is the quickly growing county seat and largest city in Douglas County, counting an estimated population of 40,500—or twice what it was in the year 2000.

Situated south of Interstate 20, about four miles from the state park, the 300-unit RENDER Douglasville calls for five buildings standing four stories each, with greenspaces and a connection to the Douglas County Trail System, according to Crescent officials.
The RENDER project line is Crescent’s more approachable, less expensive suburban product, whereas the company’s multifamily NOVEL brand aims to deliver more luxurious, Class A offerings in denser, urban environments.
Perks of the Douglasville project will include a resort-style pool and clubhouse and communal outdoor spaces for movie nights, concerts, and food truck events, per developers.
The broader The Trails development is expected to include a 60,000-square-foot commercial village, a hotel, office spaces, and for-sale townhomes, all linked together by walking trails and sidewalks.

RENDER Douglasville’s apartments are scheduled to deliver in early 2026, per Crescent reps. Financial partners in the project include CIBC, Phoenix Capital Management, and Great Southern Bank, while Crescent Communities Construction is on board as general contractor.
Closer to Atlanta’s core, Crescent opened Novel West Midtown last fall and sold off the high-rise Novel Midtown in the fourth quarter of last year, fetching the city’s highest price for a multifamily community in 2023.
Elsewhere in the metro, the developer has finished a project called RENDER Covington, while RENDER Stockbridge and RENDER Turner Lake are under construction and slated to open in 2025.
Crescent has been active in the Atlanta market for decades, with a dozen completed or forthcoming projects in its portfolio totaling more than 3,000 units. In announcing RENDER Douglasville, Eric Liebendorfer, Crescent’s managing director for Georgia, said the company will “continue to prioritize vigorous growth in the region” moving forward.

An analysis that could be the first step toward transforming mobility options across huge sections of Atlanta is making progress. Project leaders are now seeking public input to help determine where it goes next.
Atlanta Beltline Inc. kicked off the Beltline Transit Study in September 2023 to analyze the potential future of mobility around all sections of the 22-mile loop, excluding the northeast quadrant from Old Fourth Ward up to the Lindbergh area, where MARTA is conducting its own transit study.
Alongside a consultant team lead by Kimley-Horn, the Beltline has wrapped the study’s first phase. It pinpoints where transit routes could go—and where up to 21 stops could be located—but it doesn’t specify which mode of transportation would be used.
That’s where the general public’s input comes in.
The Beltline Transit Study survey will be available online until Dec. 1 as a means of gathering 2 cents from Atlantans with an interest in the Beltline’s transit future. (Our test-run took seven minutes total.) It’s a chance for Beltline users to share thoughts on transit alignments, station locations, and routes, and to input data on Beltline usage today, and future transportation and travel modes.
“By participating in the survey,” officials note, “you’ll play a key role in helping the Beltline shape the future of Atlanta’s transit.”
Overview of the roughly 13-mile corridor being studied. Atlanta BeltLine Inc.
The study focuses on corridors broken down into northwest, southwest, and southeast, and it aims to reflect the needs and future transit use that’s unique to each part of town.
Clockwise, the 13 total miles analyzed span from Glenwood Park, just south of Interstate 20 on the eastside, around to Bankhead and up into Buckhead near MARTA’s Lindbergh Center station.
For the southeast section, stretching from Glenwood Park around to West End, 14 stations initially proposed have been whittled down to seven.
Where current, tentative plans call for seven stations to be placed in the southeast corridor. Atlanta BeltLine Inc.
In the southwest quadrant, analysts have recommended that six stations move forward, dotted from near the Lee + White mixed-use district up to Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway.

Lastly, the northwest quadrant is trickiest. That’s where a transit route will have to weave through residential districts without use of a former rail corridor, like the Beltline trail itself in the area.
Analysts have narrowed down 18 potential routes for that corridor to five alternatives. Four of those would link to Atlantic Station, while one would remain farther north.
The northwest corridor’s five potential transit alignments. Atlanta BeltLine Inc.
“Each alignment,” Beltline planners note, “has the potential to connect to the proposed MARTA infill station at Armour Yards or, if necessary, reach the Lindbergh Center MARTA station.”
According to the latest study timeline, funding options for transit routes will be explored next year, and all work including financial planning and ridership forecasting is expected to wrap by late 2025.
Beltline officials will use engineers’ and public input to reveal a Locally Preferred Alternative at that time.

Alongside a consultant team lead by Kimley-Horn, the Beltline has wrapped the study’s first phase. It pinpoints where transit routes could go—and where up to 21 stops could be located—but it doesn’t specify which mode of transportation would be used.
That’s where the general public’s input comes in.
The Beltline Transit Study survey will be available online until Dec. 1 as a means of gathering 2 cents from Atlantans with an interest in the Beltline’s transit future. (Our test-run took seven minutes total.) It’s a chance for Beltline users to share thoughts on transit alignments, station locations, and routes, and to input data on Beltline usage today, and future transportation and travel modes.
“By participating in the survey,” officials note, “you’ll play a key role in helping the Beltline shape the future of Atlanta’s transit.”

The study focuses on corridors broken down into northwest, southwest, and southeast, and it aims to reflect the needs and future transit use that’s unique to each part of town.
Clockwise, the 13 total miles analyzed span from Glenwood Park, just south of Interstate 20 on the eastside, around to Bankhead and up into Buckhead near MARTA’s Lindbergh Center station.
For the southeast section, stretching from Glenwood Park around to West End, 14 stations initially proposed have been whittled down to seven.
Where current, tentative plans call for seven stations to be placed in the southeast corridor. Atlanta BeltLine Inc.
In the southwest quadrant, analysts have recommended that six stations move forward, dotted from near the Lee + White mixed-use district up to Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway.

Lastly, the northwest quadrant is trickiest. That’s where a transit route will have to weave through residential districts without use of a former rail corridor, like the Beltline trail itself in the area.
Analysts have narrowed down 18 potential routes for that corridor to five alternatives. Four of those would link to Atlantic Station, while one would remain farther north.

“Each alignment,” Beltline planners note, “has the potential to connect to the proposed MARTA infill station at Armour Yards or, if necessary, reach the Lindbergh Center MARTA station.”
According to the latest study timeline, funding options for transit routes will be explored next year, and all work including financial planning and ridership forecasting is expected to wrap by late 2025.
Beltline officials will use engineers’ and public input to reveal a Locally Preferred Alternative at that time.

In a move that’s sure to delight Atlanta development fanatics, Midtown Alliance has updated its visual summary for a subsection of the city that’s been transformed by large-scale private investment in recent years like no other.
According to the nonprofit coalition of business and community leaders, an estimated $10.3 billion has been invested over the past six years alone in the 1.2-square-mile Midtown Improvement District, or what’s generally considered the neighborhood’s commercial core.
Per Midtown Alliance’s tabulation, 53 projects have been delivered in that area since 2018, with another eight under construction now. Elsewhere, eight large-scale proposals are in the pipeline.
From a bird’s perspective, that looks like this, generally speaking:

An interesting note highlighted by Midtown Alliance today is the remarkable impact student housing has made on the subdistrict in less than a decade.
Since the first major development in the student-housing category delivered in 2015—Spring Street’s University House, with its game room and poolside Jumbotron that seemed astonishingly luxurious at the time—amenity-packed, high-rise student buildings have popped up across Midtown, from former parking lots near SCAD to the edge of downtown.
Midtown Alliance estimates that between 6,000 and 7,000 of all of Midtown’s 27,000 residents are now college students.

On a related note, a Landmark Properties proposal that came to light this week just north of the original, iconic The Varsity location is scheduled to be vetted Tuesday by the Midtown Development Review Committee.
An agenda for the DRC’s monthly meeting provides insight into exactly what that development might entail.
Landmark Properties’ fourth intown student-housing project would stand 34 stories over the Connector at 680 Spring St., rising in a U-shaped pattern with views down to Georgia Tech.
Plans call for 560 units, with a total of 1,992 bedrooms, per the DRC. Roughly 8,100 square feet of retail space would be situated at the corners of the building, with a leasing area in between.

Current designs call for a parking podium standing six and ½ stories with 554 spaces for vehicles. Three sides of the parking structure would be wrapped with apartments, leaving the highway-facing façade exposed.
Pedestrian and bicycle access would be provided from three sides of the building, with a large bike facility situated at the southeast corner, per the DRC agenda.
