Piedmont Drops $20M on Atlanta HQ Expansion
Piedmont Healthcare Inc. is building out its new headquarters at Atlantic Station’s tallest office building. The health care giant is leasing about 164,000 square feet at the 25-story tower, consolidating its system support departments into one location. Piedmont will be spread across multiple floors, including levels 7, 8, 9, 10, 23, 24 and 25. The company could spend $22.4 million on the buildout, per the permits.
The Atlanta Business Chronicle reports Piedmont’s lease is among a growing number of large office deals completed this year in Atlanta.
Signs suggest companies feel greater confidence about their office-leasing decisions, prompting a bump in touring and leasing activity in several U.S. markets. The uptick coincides with a more-certain economy and a bigger push by companies for their employees to be back in the office.
Real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield represented landlord Lionstone Investments in the deal. Piedmont was represented by Bo Keatley, David Rubenstein, John Flack and Michael Broome of Savills.

MARTA pedestrian bridge installation to briefly block train access

MARTA pedestrian bridge installation to briefly block train access

Rail commuters take note: Efforts to improve pedestrian and bicyclist access to MARTA’s easternmost train station will interrupt service for a couple of days soon.
MARTA officials say trains will not service the Indian Creek rail station on Sunday, Dec. 8 and Monday, Dec. 9 to allow for the installation of a new pedestrian bridge over active rail.
That means the Kensington Station near downtown Avondale Estates will temporarily serve as the end of MARTA’s Blue Line next month.
Indian Creek’s parking lots will remain open during the closure, and MARTA plans to run regular bus shuttles between Indian Creek and Kensington stations during the service interruption.
All bus routes serving Indian Creek station will continue running as scheduled. MARTA is advising customers who arrive by car to park at Kensington station, if possible.
According to MARTA officials, the new bridge will boost access to Indian Creek station for people on foot and bikes, while better connecting the station to a planned trail network in the area.

The bridge is a key component of the broader Indian Creek Station Rehabilitation Project. That initiative is renovating the station’s western plaza, installing new flooring and bathrooms, and making improvements to fare gates and the bus loop to improve the customer experience, per MARTA.
But much bigger changes are percolating around Indian Creek station eventually.
MARTA has compiled plans for a nearly 1.7-million-square-foot Transit-Oriented Development that would replace parking lots just south of the station with a dense collection of buildings, greenspaces, plazas, and parking structures, all located just outside the Interstate 285 loop in Stone Mountain.
The full project calls for 1,600 residential units consuming the vast majority of new development, set among 4 acres of parks and recreation space with a multi-use trail. The DeKalb County Board of Commissioners approved rezoning of the 64 acres in question in May.
Should it come to fruition as shown in master-planning documents, the project would dwarf all others in MARTA’s TOD portfolio. No timeline for development has been specified.

On Georgia Tech campus, mixed-use project gets go-ahead

On Georgia Tech campus, mixed-use project gets go-ahead

Days are numbered for a low-slung building just north of Georgia Tech’s Bobby Dodd Stadium, where an injection of student housing is planned on a smaller scale than most recent intown developments geared toward college kids.
Real estate investment company CCI Real Estate has received rezoning approvals from the City of Atlanta to move forward with a five-story, mixed-use project at 740 Techwood Drive, less than a block from the Yellowjackets’ football stadium, according to company officials.
The project, which is being developed in partnership with the Georgia Baptist Mission Board, will replace the longstanding Baptist Collegiate Ministry building on campus.

CCI’s plans for the half-acre site call for 55 one-and two-bedroom apartments spread across 64,000 square feet.
The mixed-use components include an on-site coffeehouse, 12,000 square feet of student community space at the ground level, and an upgraded ministry facility, according to project leaders. (Sorry, kids, no rooftop poolside jumbotron and neon-bedecked podcast studios here).
According to CCI, the schedule calls for breaking ground next summer and opening the building in the summer of 2027.
The company’s goal is to create “missional impact and community transformation,” and it’s also currently in the process of redeveloping the Baptist College Ministry buildings at the University of Georgia in Athens and Georgia Southern University in Statesboro with similar mixed uses.

The Baptist College Ministry has been active on Tech’s campus for more than 75 years.
“Now [the organization] will get a well-deserved upgrade to usher in a new chapter of growth and ministry in Atlanta,” said Jeff Warwick, CEO at CCI, in a project announcement. “By developing a vibrant, mixed-use community, we aim to support [the ministry’s] longstanding impact on students at Georgia Tech while also providing much-needed student housing in a prime location on campus.”
Meanwhile, just down the street, Georgia Tech athletics recently kicked off a $500-million fundraising campaign called Full Steam Ahead that could produce upgraded facilities for Ramblin’ Wreck football fans, along with basketball and volleyball players. As part of those efforts, Bobby Dodd Stadium’s transformation is set to include a massive videoboard at the south end, new clubs and a speakeasy, along with an array of deluxe suites.

Ambitious redevelopment plans are coming into clearer focus for a warehouse district that fronts a significant portion of under-construction Beltline trail on Atlanta’s Westside.
The Allen Morris Company, a Florida-based real estate firm with a growing Atlanta presence, has completed the rezoning phase for a 15.5-acre site in Bankhead the company says could become a “new nexus point for the Westside.”
Allen Morris, which bought the 1060 Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway property for $31 million in 2022, has provided new renderings that detail how the future Beltline-adjacent district would look and function, as drawn by Miami-based Royal Byckovas architecture firm.
The site includes four developable parcels overall, all situated just east of the Maddox Park greenspace, MARTA’s Bankhead station, and Microsoft’s ballyhooed but postponed 90-acre Westside campus development.
The scope of redevelopment could be massive, with up to 1,600 residential units and 700,000 square feet of commercial space in Allen Morris’ eventual plans. That would include the adaptive-reuse reimagining of a 60,000-square-foot warehouse into a Beltline-fronting town center, project officials said this week. (Renderings also depict an observation tower with “Ironside” branding, standing over the site.)

The first phase of construction will focus on remaking the warehouse into a retail hub with a market, bars, and food and beverage options. Other facets nearby will include pickleball courts, public greenspaces, and bike paths on the property, per Allen Morris officials.
On the residential front, the initial phase will see between 100 and 150 for-sale townhomes erected on a 5.5-acre section of the property next to the Beltline. Allen Morris officials are currently in talks with several homebuilders for potential partnerships on that facet of the development.
But the bulk of living options would come in several multifamily buildings with ground-floor retail planned to rise around the town center portion in future phases.

Spence Morris, Allen Morris president, said the company’s revised development plan and sequence for the project will initially be geared toward creating “a lush connection point and promenade from the Westside Beltline into the retail-activated adaptive-reuse phase,” according to a statement provided to Urbanize Atlanta.
We’ve asked Allen Morris reps for details on construction timelines and the inclusion of affordable housing in Bankhead, and we’ll update this story with any additional information that comes.
All aspects of residential development “will comply with Beltline overlay inclusionary zoning,” notes a statement. That requires developers to provide either 15 percent of a project’s housing units for households earning 80 percent or less of the area median income, or 10 percent for residents making 60 percent AMI or less.
Much of the Donald Lee Hollowell property is vacant today, with the exception of a nonprofit facility and community organization called Village Skatepark ATL. According to the skatepark’s website, it’s conducting a 2024 fundraiser to help secure a new building and permanent location.

Allen Morris, a national developer, is actively planning the final phases of its growing Star Metals District about two miles east of the Bankhead site. Elsewhere in Atlanta, the company opened the Bryn House project in North Druid Hills about a year ago.
Alongside the Bankhead site, the full 5.6-mile Westside Trail’s completion could come in a few months, apart from a small gap in West End that’s seeking designers and engineers now.
The trail’s largest remaining gap—a 1.3-mile section between Bankhead and Historic Westin Heights, down to the western edge of Washington Park—remains mostly under construction now. Beltline leaders say that piece, Segment 4, is on pace to open in the second quarter of next year. It will include a direct (and relatively flat) link into downtown via the Westside Beltline Connector trail.
Allen Morris’ plans aren’t the only major Westside housing news to emerge this week.
Roughly a mile away, Beltline leaders detailed plans this week for creating up to 1,100 residences (nearly 1/3 reserved as affordable housing) and a much smaller amount of commercial space (5,000 square feet) at the largest developable site the agency owns: a 31-acre parcel at 425 Chappell Road, also in Bankhead.
Beltline officials told the AJC the $270-million project could officially be seeking development partners by next summer and be fully built and open by 2030, pending rezoning and a Development of Regional Impact evaluation that was recently set into motion.

Roughly a mile away, Beltline leaders detailed plans this week for creating up to 1,100 residences (nearly 1/3 reserved as affordable housing) and a much smaller amount of commercial space (5,000 square feet) at the largest developable site the agency owns: a 31-acre parcel at 425 Chappell Road, also in Bankhead.
Beltline officials told the AJC the $270-million project could officially be seeking development partners by next summer and be fully built and open by 2030, pending rezoning and a Development of Regional Impact evaluation that was recently set into motion.

First look: Massive project moves forward on Westside Beltline
Josh Green
Thu, 11/21/2024 – 08:12
Ambitious redevelopment plans are coming into clearer focus for a warehouse district that fronts a significant portion of under-construction Beltline trail on Atlanta’s Westside.
The Allen Morris Company, a Florida-based real estate firm with a growing Atlanta presence, has completed the rezoning phase for a 15.5-acre site in Bankhead the company says could become a “new nexus point for the Westside.”
Allen Morris, which bought the 1060 Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway property for $31 million in 2022, has provided new renderings that detail how the future Beltline-adjacent district would look and function, as drawn by Miami-based Royal Byckovas architecture firm.
The site includes four developable parcels overall, all situated just east of the Maddox Park greenspace, MARTA’s Bankhead station, and Microsoft’s ballyhooed but postponed 90-acre Westside campus development.
The scope of redevelopment could be massive, with up to 1,600 residential units and 700,000 square feet of commercial space in Allen Morris’ eventual plans. That would include the adaptive-reuse reimagining of a 60,000-square-foot warehouse into a Beltline-fronting town center, project officials said this week. (Renderings also depict an observation tower with “Ironside” branding, standing over the site.)

The first phase of construction will focus on remaking the warehouse into a retail hub with a market, bars, and food and beverage options. Other facets nearby will include pickleball courts, public greenspaces, and bike paths on the property, per Allen Morris officials.
On the residential front, the initial phase will see between 100 and 150 for-sale townhomes erected on a 5.5-acre section of the property next to the Beltline. Allen Morris officials are currently in talks with several homebuilders for potential partnerships on that facet of the development.
But the bulk of living options would come in several multifamily buildings with ground-floor retail planned to rise around the town center portion in future phases.

Spence Morris, Allen Morris president, said the company’s revised development plan and sequence for the project will initially be geared toward creating “a lush connection point and promenade from the Westside Beltline into the retail-activated adaptive-reuse phase,” according to a statement provided to Urbanize Atlanta.
We’ve asked Allen Morris reps for details on construction timelines and the inclusion of affordable housing in Bankhead, and we’ll update this story with any additional information that comes.
All aspects of residential development “will comply with Beltline overlay inclusionary zoning,” notes a statement. That requires developers to provide either 15 percent of a project’s housing units for households earning 80 percent or less of the area median income, or 10 percent for residents making 60 percent AMI or less.
Much of the Donald Lee Hollowell property is vacant today, with the exception of a nonprofit facility and community organization called Village Skatepark ATL. According to the skatepark’s website, it’s conducting a 2024 fundraiser to help secure a new building and permanent location.

Allen Morris, a national developer, is actively planning the final phases of its growing Star Metals District about two miles east of the Bankhead site. Elsewhere in Atlanta, the company opened the Bryn House project in North Druid Hills about a year ago.
Alongside the Bankhead site, the full 5.6-mile Westside Trail’s completion could come in a few months, apart from a small gap in West End that’s seeking designers and engineers now.
The trail’s largest remaining gap—a 1.3-mile section between Bankhead and Historic Westin Heights, down to the western edge of Washington Park—remains mostly under construction now. Beltline leaders say that piece, Segment 4, is on pace to open in the second quarter of next year. It will include a direct (and relatively flat) link into downtown via the Westside Beltline Connector trail.
Allen Morris’ plans aren’t the only major Westside housing news to emerge this week.

In the wonderful world of Atlanta development wonks, a cleared lot on 14th Street near Piedmont Park has emerged in recent years as the new capital of false alarms.
That trend appears to be continuing this month. Maybe.
As Midtown residents and others in cyberspace have noted, heavy equipment and work crews have been spotted over the past week at 250 14th St., where active intown developer Toll Brothers initially revealed plans for an apartment tower back in 2019. Tweaked plans for more density were later the source of neighborhood ire and a petition against them.
Toll Brothers officials this week didn’t specify if recent activity at the site is the start of construction, testing, stabilization, or any other purpose.
“While we still do own the property,” a development rep wrote to Urbanize Atlanta via email, “we don’t have much information to share at this time.”

The only permitting activity filed with Atlanta’s Department of City Planning this year is a Nov. 15 complaint that work was taking place on site “including grading and land movement” without a permit. The city has since issued a stop-work order, according to department records.
In 2021, two old Midtown houses on the north side of 14th Street—one that’d served as offices—were razed to make way for the development. Those properties, according to Toll Brothers’ earlier presentations, were combined with a neighboring, cleared lot where a five-story condo stack called The Dowling was proposed several years ago but didn’t take off.
Along 14th Street, the site is bordered by the Mediterranean-style Windsor apartments and a row of townhouses.
City records indicate Toll Brothers Apartment Living, a division of the national homebuilding giant, applied in early 2022 for a permit to start building a 20-story tower—16 residential levels over a four-story parking deck—called “Vance on 14th.” According to Midtown Alliance, the Brock Hudgins Architects-designed tower would have included 175 units over 310 parking spaces, with no retail space planned, per initial plans.

According to a 2023 Change.org petition, requested changes to the Toll Brothers building would have added 70 units (for a total of 245) and another four stories, though floor heights would be decreased. Most of the additional apartments would have been about 150 feet from Ansley Park properties and backyards, per the petition. But the Atlanta City Council later voted to deny a special-use permit for the additional density, per petitioners.
“[Developers] are manipulating the zoning laws to greatly exceed limitations that were put in place to ensure a graceful transition from Peachtree Street to Piedmont Park and to preserve the integrity of the Ansley [Park] neighborhood aesthetic that we all love,” read the petition.
Toll Brothers officials have agreed to supply more information as plans for the site unfold.
