City Selects Partner on Atlanta Constitution Building

Invest Atlanta selected Gorman & Co. to restore the five-story Atlanta Constitution building, located at 143 Alabama St. in the heart of Downtown. The agency intends to negotiate a ground lease and master development agreement with the company, whose preliminary plan includes 197 mostly affordable residential units.

The 95,000-square-foot brick building dates back to the 1940s and housed the Atlanta Constitution’s printing facility until the newspaper merged with the Atlanta Journal in 1953. The city has owned it since the 1990s. 

Gorman & Co., which focuses on developing affordable and workforce housing, plans to split the project into multiple phases.

The building would be filled with residential units and ground-level commercial space. A later phase would add a new residential building on adjacent land by 2028.

The project includes a mix of units with one, two or three bedrooms. Units would be rented at prices affordable to households earning 30% and 80% AMI.

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.

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.
