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.
For the southeast section, stretching from Glenwood Park around to West End, 14 stations initially proposed have been whittled down to seven.
Where current, tentative plans call for seven stations to be placed in the southeast corridor. Atlanta BeltLine Inc.
In the southwest quadrant, analysts have recommended that six stations move forward, dotted from near the Lee + White mixed-use district up to Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway.

Lastly, the northwest quadrant is trickiest. That’s where a transit route will have to weave through residential districts without use of a former rail corridor, like the Beltline trail itself in the area.
Analysts have narrowed down 18 potential routes for that corridor to five alternatives. Four of those would link to Atlantic Station, while one would remain farther north.

“Each alignment,” Beltline planners note, “has the potential to connect to the proposed MARTA infill station at Armour Yards or, if necessary, reach the Lindbergh Center MARTA station.”
According to the latest study timeline, funding options for transit routes will be explored next year, and all work including financial planning and ridership forecasting is expected to wrap by late 2025.
Beltline officials will use engineers’ and public input to reveal a Locally Preferred Alternative at that time.

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.”

Officials detail outlook on Star Metals District’s final phase

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.”

Chunk of East Atlanta Village-ish up for grabs

Chunk of East Atlanta Village-ish up for grabs

As land near cultural and economic hubs like East Atlanta Village becomes more scarce, the question becomes, in some cases, how much are developers and then homebuyers willing to put up with? Like, for instance, an interstate in the backyard?
Such is the case for a single-family home development proposal in a section of the city divided by Interstate 20 a couple of generations ago.
Marketed as being in the heart of East Atlanta Village and walkable to all that entails (prepare to trek uphill), the 513 Maynard Ave. property came to market recently with Keller Williams Realty North Atlanta, asking $1.7 million.
That buys what’s essentially 1.7 acres of woods in a residential section of East Atlanta, about .7 miles from, let’s say, Argosy. It’s billed as being a rare new-construction opportunity for the area.

Example of housing proposed in current listings for 513 Maynard Ave. Keller Williams Realty North Atlanta/FMLS
Plans included with the purchase call for eight single-family dwellings tucked off existing streets. “Near immediate access” to I-20—westbound, at least—is called a highlight of the location. Ditto for proximity to everywhere from Summerhill to Cabbagetown.
According to listings, architectural plans, a land disturbance permit, and City of Atlanta tree recompose (essentially a fine for removing healthy trees, with funding used to plant and maintain other trees) would be included with the land sale.
Keller Williams Realty North Atlanta/FMLS
Of the location’s algorithm-generated Walk Score ratings, the “somewhat walkable” Walk Score of 53 fares best, followed by the so-so 41 Transit Score and 36 Bike Score.
Another metric called the Sound Score—calculated by the HowLoud platform—reflects the nearby interstate, coming in at a “loud” 66.
For what that’s worth.
