One of the nation’s largest homebuilders is set to move forward with its biggest land development to date in metro Atlanta, promising a mix of housing that’s exceptionally green.

Officials with Atlanta-based Beazer Homes have scheduled a groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday morning at a site nearly the size of Piedmont Park, situated north of downtown Marietta, for a 591-home project called GreenHouse.

The 150 Laura Lake Road project will take shape just east of the Interstate 75 and I-575 split, south of Barrett Parkway near the Town Center at Cobb shopping center.

According to site plans, a lake and cemetery border the property today and will be preserved.

GreenHouse plans call for a mix of townhomes, ranch-style, and two-story homes, all of them certified under the U.S. Department of Energy as a Zero Energy Ready Home. That certification indicates a level of construction that exceeds all local construction and energy codes, according to Beazer officials.

GreenHouse amenities are expected to include miles of nature trails (sample name: “The Long and Winding Road”), pocket parks (one called “Poets Corner”), and gardens, with a goal of creating a relaxed atmosphere, per Beazer officials.

The first GreenHouse homes are scheduled to be released for sale in fall 2025.

Beazer announced in May it had acquired the 174-acre property in the City of Marietta, marking the company’s largest land acquisition in the metro to date.

Elsewhere, Beazer counts 12 other communities around the metro in various stages of development, spanning from Powder Springs and Kennesaw to Cumming, Atlanta, and Decatur.  

We’ve asked Beazer reps for more visuals, including home renderings, and pricing details. This story will be updated with any additional information that comes.

With the recent news that Midtown’s 1.1-mile, northbound Piedmont Avenue Complete Street Project is gearing up to move forward after nearly a decade of planning, Atlantans couldn’t help but wonder about the status of its under-construction, southbound counterpart.

The short answer: It’s complicated, but happening.

Midtown Alliance officials describe the process of constructing the Juniper Complete Street Project—now a year and ½ after groundbreaking—as a complex, Tetris-like puzzle of disruption, pauses, and progress in a bustling part of town. Readers have recently worried that construction had been shut down altogether.

That’s not the case, according to Midtown Alliance spokesperson Brian Carr, but demand for access to Juniper Street from other entities with priority utility, construction, or filming permits has required the project’s contractor to temporarily pause work on certain blocks lately.

Changes to Juniper Street will cover 12 blocks, implementing a one-way cycletrack that starts at 14th Street near Colony Square and travels down to Ponce de Leon Avenue.

Vehicle lanes will be reduced to two, and dedicated parallel parking will be installed within a new buffer lane in places. Other additions will include bioswales, LED lighting, and street furniture. The goal—as first proposed 14 years ago—is to create a more inviting, safer corridor for multiple forms of urban mobility.

According to Carr, the majority of curb work is finished along the corridor. Crews have been installing new traffic signal poles in recent weeks, which is expected to continue through Nov. 23, per a Midtown Alliance summary.

The project remains on budget (estimated cost: $8.7 million), but construction will extend into sometime next year, Carr said. It broke ground in May 2023 and was considered a 20-month job from the outset.

“This is a busy corridor, and ongoing construction must be sequenced to allow for continued vehicular access,” noted Carr via email. “Like the rest of the community, our team is eager to have all the upgraded features on this corridor operational. We appreciate the community’s patience as work continues.”

The Juniper Street project was funded with a mix of city transportation impact fees, federal and state grants, and Midtown Improvement District funds. The idea was first hatched way back in 2010, when a TSW design team was hired.

Midtown Alliance officials were once optimistic the project would be fully under construction by late 2016. Behind the scenes, however, a web of delays, dysfunction, and other messes involving the city’s procurement system under previous mayoral administrations was a significant hurdle.

Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens appointed a new procurement chief in 2022, and Midtown Alliance CEO and president Kevin Green has applauded the city’s revised procurement process as being more streamlined and sensible.

The complete-street overhaul will see non-drivers flowing south alongside car traffic in six to seven-foot bike lanes, protected by a system of raised planters and barriers at intersections. Trees and landscaping will be implemented as seasons and weather allow, and fresh asphalt will be laid near the end of construction, officials have said.

Early phases of construction removed and preserved historic Juniper Street trolley tracks that had been submerged through the area.

One block east, the 1.1-mile system of northbound bike lanes will similarly update Piedmont Avenue, stretching from Ponce de Leon Avenue up to 15th Street at Piedmont Park.

Here’s a closer look at precisely the section of Midtown the Juniper Street bike lanes and other changes will cover:

Plans are coming into clearer focus for how a popular 1960s intown mall plans to adapt and capitalize on its new Atlanta Beltline proximity like numerous trailside properties before it.

Site plans and visuals recently filed with the City of Atlanta Office of Zoning and Development show in detail how the third location of celebrated restaurant Lewis Barbecue will transform the backside of Ansley Mall and face the Beltline’s Northeast Trail, alongside ancillary retail spaces and a new pedestrian bridge.

Following a ribbon-cutting this week, all Northeast Trail segments are now finished between southern Buckhead and Monroe Drive, opening easier, off-street access to the Ansley Mall area for a multitude of neighborhoods in both directions.

Ansley Mall renovation plans compiled by Terminus Design Group architects are scheduled to come before NPU-F next week and the city’s Zoning Review Board on Dec. 5. 

According to a Special Use Permit application, the smokehouse will stand two stories adjacent to other retail spaces that were previously a laundromat and bar. All the Beltline-facing spaces will total 11,000 square feet, according to retail leasing agents Bridger Properties.

For Lewis Barbecue, the Ansley Mall outpost will mark the concept’s third location, following others in Charleston and Greenville. Some 3,000 weekly patrons are expected, with a substantial portion of them arriving from the Beltline. Another 100 to 150 vehicles per day are expected at the mall, per the SUP application.  

We’ve asked reps with Ansley Mall owner and landlord Selig Enterprises for an update on when the restaurant, other retail spaces, and the pedestrian bridge might open. We’ll update this story with any additional information that comes.

Selig, which has owned the 16-acre mall property for a half-century, completed the 105-foot pedestrian bridge project a year ago. It’s meant to serve as a welcome mat for Beltline patrons—and an easier connection to the Beltline for residents in nearby neighborhoods such as Piedmont Heights.

Officials have said the bridge project doesn’t impact surrounding nature, which includes wooded areas and a small waterway called Clear Creek. It remains fenced-off and closed to the public for now.

Ansley Mall’s tenants today include The Cook’s Warehouse, Ansley Wine Merchants, Phidippides, Brooklyn Bagel, and Intaglia Home Collection, among others.

Selig bought Ansley Mall in 1972 and still considers it a jewel-box asset in a 4-million-square-foot portfolio of retail properties across the Southeast. In Atlanta, those include adaptive-reuse district The Works in Underwood Hills, The Shops of Buckhead, Brookwood Place, Peachtree Plaza, and Buckhead Square I and II, among other holdings.

The repositioning of eastside properties to better interface with Beltline trails has been a trend for years.

Notable early adopters included the Ladybird Grove & Mess Hall space and Murder Kroger (RIP), where a connecting trail and jovial mural were installed in 2014 to help siphon customers from the Beltline.

A more recent example is the Midtown Promenade redo near Piedmont Park, where the back alley was converted into a more welcoming plaza entrance with new shops and eats, including an Athlete’s Foot flagship. The Painted Park concept in Inman Park—now open—is another case of backdoors becoming Beltline welcoming mats.

Fresh visuals: How Ansley Mall plans to meet the Atlanta Beltline

Josh Green

Thu, 11/14/2024 – 15:41

Plans are coming into clearer focus for how a popular 1960s intown mall plans to adapt and capitalize on its new Atlanta Beltline proximity like numerous trailside properties before it.

Site plans and visuals recently filed with the City of Atlanta Office of Zoning and Development show in detail how the third location of celebrated restaurant Lewis Barbecue will transform the backside of Ansley Mall and face the Beltline’s Northeast Trail, alongside ancillary retail spaces and a new pedestrian bridge.

Following a ribbon-cutting this week, all Northeast Trail segments are now finished between southern Buckhead and Monroe Drive, opening easier, off-street access to the Ansley Mall area for a multitude of neighborhoods in both directions.

Ansley Mall renovation plans compiled by Terminus Design Group architects are scheduled to come before NPU-F next week and the city’s Zoning Review Board on Dec. 5. 

According to a Special Use Permit application, the smokehouse will stand two stories adjacent to other retail spaces that were previously a laundromat and bar. All the Beltline-facing spaces will total 11,000 square feet, according to retail leasing agents Bridger Properties.

Nobody needs a data guru to tell them driving for any considerable distance in Atlanta can be, well, a challenge these days. Even on weekends. But the worst driving experience in the USA?

A national analysis released this week set out to determine the top 10 U.S. cities where residents shouldn’t drive a car, based on traffic snarls, cost of vehicle ownership, and fatality rates.

And yes the ATL—unfortunately but not surprisingly—landed at No. 1.

The study, compiled by Chicago-based Conboy Law Injury & Medical Malpractice Lawyers, analyzed 36 major U.S. cities based on three primary factors to calculate a Driving Risk Score. Those were traffic delay times, vehicle ownership rates, and traffic-related fatalities in urban areas per 100,000 people. (The study applied to the city proper and not metro areas, it should be noted.)  

The City of Atlanta’s composite score of 100—as bad as it gets, basically—crowned/befouled it as the most challenging urban area for drivers this year. That’s one slot ahead of/below Los Angeles.

Conboy analysts found that almost 95 percent of Atlanta’s adult population owns a car. That translates to crowded roads and long commutes, with an average delay of 61 minutes, per the study.

On the surface, Atlanta’s 90 traffic fatalities per year on average looks strong among the top 10—but the city proper also counts the smallest population on the list.

The findings continue a dismal recent track record for Atlanta when it comes to expensive, time-consuming, and generally hellacious commutes.

Clever, a real estate data company, ranked Atlanta the second worst U.S. commuter city in 2022 and third worst last year, based on rankings that took into account public transit scores, insurance premiums, annual fuel costs, and other factors. 

Which, hey, is improvement, right?
