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.

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.

Beltline study whittles down potential transit stop locations, more

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.”

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.

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.
Courtesy of Midtown Alliance
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.

Officials detail outlook on Star Metals District’s final phase
Officials detail outlook on Star Metals District’s final phase
Officials detail outlook on Star Metals District’s final phase
Josh Green
Fri, 11/08/2024 – 14:14
Project officials behind the final phase of West Midtown’s transformative Star Metals District provided updates today regarding the scope, functionality, and ballpark timeline for the remaining section of development.
The Allen Morris Company project’s broader goal is to create something more akin to Fourth Ward Project on the flipside of Midtown than a collection of standalone towers with heavy concentrations of parking at the bases. But the tallest of those structures won’t rise as high as filings with the City of Atlanta previously suggested.
“By reducing the large parking structures that engulf the ground level, the project will be more indicative of what you commonly see in Europe and Australia, where parking is less prominent,” Max Cookes, founder of ANiMAL, a real estate investment firm and Star Metals District joint venture partner, said in the update. “This project exemplifies the district’s mission to create a cohesive, walkable, community-first area in West Midtown.”
The final phase’s 3.27-acre property spans a full city block, just west of Northside Drive and north of 10th Street, fronting Howell Mill Road. Allen Morris in 2022 succeeded in having the property rezoned to an MRC-3 designation to allow for mixed uses.
Plans call for three new towers to join the trio of Star Metals buildings (one filled with offices, the other two with apartments) that currently stand.
The tallest building in that masterplan, according to ANiMAL’s update, is now planned to rise 33 stories. A height variance developers have requested from the city would allow that tower to stand 340 feet tall, or significantly higher than the district’s height maximum of 225 feet now. The tradeoff would be that a taller and slimmer structure would allow for more large, open public spaces at the ground level.
That building’s coverage on the lot, at 33 stories, would shrink from 65 to 35 percent. According to ANiMAL reps, buildings with MRC-3 zoning typical cover 85 percent of their lots.
City officials are expected to make a decision on the height variance in December.

If approved, the 33-story residential building would still stand out in the Marietta Street Artery neighborhood, but it would be significantly shorter than initial designs floated last summer. Those called for a 42-story structure topping out around 435 feet tall. (For context, the building’s current scope would still stand 11 stories taller than the Stella at Star Metals apartments, which have topped out at a site immediately to the east.)
In any case, the 33-story proposal might not break ground for several years. Two other phases of development with shorter towers are scheduled to be built first, with the first of those buildings, a residential component, on track to break ground in late 2025, according to the update.

But there’s good news for outdoor recreation enthusiasts in the short term.
The portion of the site where the tallest building would rise—currently a warehouse—will be transformed on an interim basis into an open-air hangout and retail space called Star Metals Park, designed to be a focal point for the growing area. Plans call for a large greenspace and landscaped areas, indoor and outdoor seating, an internal kitchen, and restrooms, according to ANiMAL reps.
Renderings that surfaced in January lent an idea what that space could look like, but project officials tell Urbanize Atlanta the concept for Star Metals Park has evolved since then. Renderings and details on an operator for that facet of the district are expected to be available within the next month, we’re told.
The first build building in Star Metals District’s final phase will take about two years to build, meaning it would open roughly in the fourth quarter of 2027, officials tell Urbanize.
The project’s emphasis on outdoor, public-accessible elements has won the support of the area’s Upper Westside Community Improvement District.
“The Marietta Street Artery neighborhood has no City of Atlanta parks, [and] projects such as this one are helping fill the greenspace deficit in our district,” Adeline Collot, the CID’s planning and capital projects program director, said in the update. “We welcome developments that create ample and thoughtfully designed spaces for the community’s use, given the growing number of residents in the area.”

Plans call for a large greenspace and landscaped areas, indoor and outdoor seating, an internal kitchen, and restrooms, according to ANiMAL reps.
Renderings that surfaced in January lent an idea what that space could look like, but project officials tell Urbanize Atlanta the concept for Star Metals Park has evolved since then. Renderings and details on an operator for that facet of the district are expected to be available within the next month, we’re told.
The first build building in Star Metals District’s final phase will take about two years to build, meaning it would open roughly in the fourth quarter of 2027, officials tell Urbanize.
The project’s emphasis on outdoor, public-accessible elements has won the support of the area’s Upper Westside Community Improvement District.
“The Marietta Street Artery neighborhood has no City of Atlanta parks, [and] projects such as this one are helping fill the greenspace deficit in our district,” Adeline Collot, the CID’s planning and capital projects program director, said in the update. “We welcome developments that create ample and thoughtfully designed spaces for the community’s use, given the growing number of residents in the area.”

Officials detail outlook on Star Metals District’s final phase
Josh Green

Project officials behind the final phase of West Midtown’s transformative Star Metals District provided updates today regarding the scope, functionality, and ballpark timeline for the remaining section of development.
The Allen Morris Company project’s broader goal is to create something more akin to Fourth Ward Project on the flipside of Midtown than a collection of standalone towers with heavy concentrations of parking at the bases. But the tallest of those structures won’t rise as high as filings with the City of Atlanta previously suggested.
“By reducing the large parking structures that engulf the ground level, the project will be more indicative of what you commonly see in Europe and Australia, where parking is less prominent,” Max Cookes, founder of ANiMAL, a real estate investment firm and Star Metals District joint venture partner, said in the update. “This project exemplifies the district’s mission to create a cohesive, walkable, community-first area in West Midtown.”
The final phase’s 3.27-acre property spans a full city block, just west of Northside Drive and north of 10th Street, fronting Howell Mill Road. Allen Morris in 2022 succeeded in having the property rezoned to an MRC-3 designation to allow for mixed uses.
Plans call for three new towers to join the trio of Star Metals buildings (one filled with offices, the other two with apartments) that currently stand.
The tallest building in that masterplan, according to ANiMAL’s update, is now planned to rise 33 stories. A height variance developers have requested from the city would allow that tower to stand 340 feet tall, or significantly higher than the district’s height maximum of 225 feet now. The tradeoff would be that a taller and slimmer structure would allow for more large, open public spaces at the ground level.
That building’s coverage on the lot, at 33 stories, would shrink from 65 to 35 percent. According to ANiMAL reps, buildings with MRC-3 zoning typical cover 85 percent of their lots.
City officials are expected to make a decision on the height variance in December.

If approved, the 33-story residential building would still stand out in the Marietta Street Artery neighborhood, but it would be significantly shorter than initial designs floated last summer. Those called for a 42-story structure topping out around 435 feet tall. (For context, the building’s current scope would still stand 11 stories taller than the Stella at Star Metals apartments, which have topped out at a site immediately to the east.)
In any case, the 33-story proposal might not break ground for several years. Two other phases of development with shorter towers are scheduled to be built first, with the first of those buildings, a residential component, on track to break ground in late 2025, according to the update.
