A unique infill project that’s been in the works for several years across the street from a MARTA station and famed intown TV/film hub is seeking a new path forward. Envisioned as a stylish mix of residential and retail space with direct transit access, Womack Yards is designed for a .11-acre corner where Womack Avenue meets Main Street. Currently the site houses two standalone homes and two lots.According to plans compiled by Atlanta-based architecture firm Xena Design, Womack Yards would stand three and four stories, with some of the top residential levels overlooking MARTA’s East Point station and the sprawling Terry Perry Studios next door.

The site and project plans came to market last month with Maximum One Realty Greater ATL, asking $924,999. The concept calls for seven townhomes on both sides of a market and tavern-style restaurant with a rooftop lounge. “[It’s] perfect for capturing foot traffic and creating a vibrant community hub,” according to listings. When the project’s leadership, including owners Annette Coleman and Tiffany Coleman, presented it to East Point’s Downtown Development Authority two years ago, it had begun the permitting process and was expected to be built out over three phases. According to its architect, the project later gained city approval and qualifies for Opportunity Zone Incentives to help make it viable. But construction has not moved forward.

The recent listing paints East Point as a hot bet for developers right now, with property values having climbed 25 percent in three years and $1 billion in recent infrastructure and commercial investment in the area. The location is a “commuter’s dream” and the overall package “an investor’s goldmine,” per Marietta-based Maximum One Realty. According to listings, Womack Yards’ seller is entertaining best offers right now.
