Two years after debut, Oakhurst condo conversion sniffs sellout

Two years after debut, Oakhurst condo conversion sniffs sellout

An adaptive-reuse project where Oakhurst meets Kirkwood is approaching sellout status nearly two years after its debut, with final new condos priced at less than $200,000, according to sellers.
Called Park 108, the condo venture by national developer Toll Brothers aimed to fill a void of for-sale multifamily product on the southwest side of Decatur by transforming a building that’s stood for nearly a century.
Renovation work on the 33-unit building took about two years. Eric White, Toll Brothers division president in Georgia, says the two remaining Park 108 homes are both priced at $199,900.
The Forsyth plan (one bedroom, one bathroom) counts 632 square feet on the first floor, while the Claire studio plan has 504 square feet on the second floor. The latter was discounted by nearly $15,000 last month.

Floorplans for remaining condos can be viewed here (see floors one and two), while a peek inside the one-bedroom unit is over here.
According to listing services, the two remaining Park 108 condos qualify for the Decatur Land Trust Model, which means specific qualifications must be met.
DLT’s model goes that homes will be sold to new owners, but the land beneath them will be kept in a trust. Should new homeowners sell in the future, the DLT’s ground-lease program is meant to ensure the properties retain their affordability permanently by capping the price at which owners can sell, DLT officials previously told Urbanize Atlanta. DLT also typically retains a long-term option to buy the homes back if owners choose to sell and move.
Following its completion in summer 2023, the revised three-story Park 108 structure offered a range of floorplans (18 total) from 500-square-foot studios to airy two-bedroom units with ceilings climbing up to 14 feet. Some included a second story, with prices topping out around $600,000.
In-home features include wide-plank hardwood flooring, oversized windows, and custom cabinetry. Like transit access, the condos’ character is intended to make up for the building’s lack of amenities, such as a swimming pool and balconies.
This two-bedroom unit was priced just shy of $600,000. Toll Brothers
Perks of the location include MARTA’s East Lake station, situated across the street. Oakhurst Village is a few blocks in the other direction, and College Avenue’s charming strips of retail and restaurant offerings are also nearby.
The 1930s building once functioned as a Southern Bell telephone company switchboard facility; more recently, it was an AT&T training center.

Reader poll: Should Beltline reschedule cancelled Lantern Parade?
Reader poll: Should Beltline reschedule cancelled Lantern Parade?
Reader poll: Should Beltline reschedule cancelled Lantern Parade?
Josh Green
Mon, 05/05/2025 – 16:40
That rumble heard across intown Atlanta on Saturday afternoon wasn’t thunder—it was the 15th incarnation of the wondrous Atlanta Beltline Lantern Parade being cancelled due to approaching, intense storms. (Okay, maybe thunder, too.)
It marked a rare occasion that the Lantern Parade, one of Atlanta’s most unique and coveted traditions, didn’t step off as planned. And it begged the question: Will the cancelled festivities be rescheduled, or will Atlantans have to wait until next year to whoop at hundreds of glowing creations meandering by on the Beltline?
Beltline spokesperson Keona Swindler tells Urbanize Atlanta a rescheduled date hasn’t been set as of today, but “we’ll share more information as soon as it’s available.” Sounds promising, if a bit noncommittal.
“It was hard to come that decision [to cancel the parade],” Swindler noted via email. “It is the highlight of our year!”
The Lantern Parade’s Westside Trail debut in 2022. Josh Green/Urbanize Atlanta
Described as a “beloved Atlanta celebration of creativity, community, and light” with giant glowing puppets and marching bands, the grassroots parade had humble beginnings in 2010, when a few hundred creative souls marched with LED lanterns down the shoddy dirt railroad corridor that’s become the Eastside Trail—with no spectators on the sidelines. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Lantern Parade was drawing estimated crowds of 70,000 annually to the Eastside Trail, solidifying itself as a local tradition alongside the Dogwood Festival, Streets Alive, and Inman Park Festival, among others.
The pandemic paused the parade for two years, but in 2022 it reemerged on the flipside of town, illuminating a section of the Beltline’s Westside Trail beginning in Adair Park—and concluding with a huge party in the Lee + White district’s parking lots. Beltline officials declared the Westside Trail the parade’s permanent home last year.
Which means it’s time to take a community vote, via the reader poll below, just in case the powers-that-be are listening. If you’re in favor of a rescheduled parade, please do share dates that seem to make sense as well.

An Atlanta Beltline-adjacent site in Reynoldstown where big development ideas have been kicked around for nearly two decades could finally see movement soon—but with a larger scope than ever planned before.
Officials with the Allen Morris Company, a Florida-based real estate firm with a growing Atlanta presence, tell Urbanize Atlanta they’re in talks to help develop a vacant, formerly industrial 930 Mauldin St. site in Reynoldstown that counts direct Eastside Trail access.
Allen Morris is entering a joint partnership with longtime property owners and developers Metzger & Co. The latter company in 2022 unveiled a revised, Perkins & Will-designed development vision for the site that would have blended retail and residential in a unique, Z-shaped structure, claiming one of the last large development sites left along Reynoldstown’s section of the Beltline.
But according to a neighborhood source, the project’s scope has recently grown to include the 205 Holtzclaw St. property immediately south of the Mauldin Street site, which the developers have purchased. Formerly home to the DooGallery, that site houses an empty lot and low-rise, warehouse-style buildings today.

Allen Morris and partners have scheduled a meeting Thursday to discuss rezoning and other details with the Reynoldstown Civic Improvement League, a volunteer community organization.
“Our intent is to work with RCIL to conceive a project that will be mixed-use with multifamily residential and retail,” Allen Morris officials wrote to Urbanize Atlanta today via email. “Construction timing, scope, and other details are highly conceptual until we receive feedback from RCIL.
“We look forward to working with the neighborhood,” the message continues, “to develop a project that inspires, impresses, and improves the lives of all who interact with it.”
Metzger & Co.’s development plans for Mauldin Street have been proposed, off and on, for more than 17 years, long before Beltline hysteria swept over the historic eastside neighborhood.
Back in 2008, the Beltline and Atlanta City Council approved a three-story, 108-unit building that Metzger & Co. had brought to the table, but it never went forward.
Eight years later, the developer pitched a larger project with 40 more apartments and about twice the height. City officials and neighborhood leaders vocally criticized that proposal’s lack of affordable housing, how it didn’t interface well with the Beltline, and for what they called poor construction meant for a 20-year life cycle. A rezoning application was unanimously rejected at an NPU meeting, and the project fizzled.
More recently, Metzger & Co.’s retooled plans called for 142 apartments (15 percent reserved as affordable housing) and 2,700 square feet of retail spaces fronting the Beltline, in a 140,000-square-foot building that would have topped out at six stories. But those designs, according to sources, have been scrapped, though they’d been approved by NPU and other neighborhood groups as part of a successful rezoning process in 2022.

According to LoopNet, the 1.3-acre Mauldin Street site is home to a 31,000-square-foot industrial building now. It last sold for $2.2 million back in 2006—cheap by today’s standards for Eastside Trail-adjacent acreage.
Elsewhere in Atlanta, Allen Morris, a national developer, is actively planning the final phases of its growing Star Metals District now, as the upscale Stella at Star Metals tower nears completion.
About two miles west of there, the company is putting together a massive Bankhead project along the Beltline’s Westside Trail that would also claim underused, formerly industrial properties.
Allen Morris also opened the Bryn House project in North Druid Hills in 2023.

BREAKING: Star Metals developer sets sights on Eastside Beltline properties

An Atlanta Beltline-adjacent site in Reynoldstown where big development ideas have been kicked around for nearly two decades could finally see movement soon—but with a larger scope than ever planned before. Officials with the Allen Morris Company, a Florida-based real estate firm with a growing Atlanta presence, tell Urbanize Atlanta they’re in talks to help develop a vacant, formerly industrial 930 Mauldin St. site in Reynoldstown that counts direct Eastside Trail access. Allen Morris is entering a joint partnership with longtime property owners and developers Metzger & Co. The latter company in 2022 unveiled a revised, Perkins & Will-designed development vision for the site that would have blended retail and residential in a unique, Z-shaped structure, claiming one of the last large development sites left along Reynoldstown’s section of the Beltline.But according to a neighborhood source, the project’s scope has recently grown to include the 205 Holtzclaw St. property immediately south of the Mauldin Street site, which the developers have purchased. Formerly home to the DooGallery, that site houses an empty lot and low-rise, warehouse-style buildings today.

Allen Morris and partners have scheduled a meeting Thursday to discuss rezoning and other details with the Reynoldstown Civic Improvement League, a volunteer community organization. “Our intent is to work with RCIL to conceive a project that will be mixed-use with multifamily residential and retail,” Allen Morris officials wrote to Urbanize Atlanta today via email. “Construction timing, scope, and other details are highly conceptual until we receive feedback from RCIL. “We look forward to working with the neighborhood,” the message continues, “to develop a project that inspires, impresses, and improves the lives of all who interact with it.”Metzger & Co.’s development plans for Mauldin Street have been proposed, off and on, for more than 17 years, long before Beltline hysteria swept over the historic eastside neighborhood.Back in 2008, the Beltline and Atlanta City Council approved a three-story, 108-unit building that Metzger & Co. had brought to the table, but it never went forward.Eight years later, the developer pitched a larger project with 40 more apartments and about twice the height. City officials and neighborhood leaders vocally criticized that proposal’s lack of affordable housing, how it didn’t interface well with the Beltline, and for what they called poor construction meant for a 20-year life cycle. A rezoning application was unanimously rejected at an NPU meeting, and the project fizzled.More recently, Metzger & Co.’s retooled plans called for 142 apartments (15 percent reserved as affordable housing) and 2,700 square feet of retail spaces fronting the Beltline, in a 140,000-square-foot building that would have topped out at six stories. But those designs, according to sources, have been scrapped, though they’d been approved by NPU and other neighborhood groups as part of a successful rezoning process in 2022.

According to LoopNet, the 1.3-acre Mauldin Street site is home to a 31,000-square-foot industrial building now. It last sold for $2.2 million back in 2006—cheap by today’s standards for Eastside Trail-adjacent acreage.Elsewhere in Atlanta, Allen Morris, a national developer, is actively planning the final phases of its growing Star Metals District now, as the upscale Stella at Star Metals tower nears completion. About two miles west of there, the company is putting together a massive Bankhead project along the Beltline’s Westside Trail that would also claim underused, formerly industrial properties. Allen Morris also opened the Bryn House project in North Druid Hills in 2023….Follow us on social media: Twitter / Facebook/and now: Instagram • Reynoldstown news, discussion (Urbanize Atlanta)

Self-storage project overlooking Atlanta’s marquee park tops out

Self-storage project overlooking Atlanta’s marquee park tops out

A controversial Virginia-Highland project has taken shape with sweeping views across Piedmont Park, the Beltline corridor, and Midtown’s skyline—but with minimal windows for enjoying the scenery.
The self-storage facility project at the doorstep of two marquee, walkable intown attractions, the Beltline’s Eastside/Northeast trails and Piedmont Park, has reached its maximum height of five stories, according to building plans and a recent site visit.
Two low-rise commercial buildings were demolished at the site last year (1011 Monroe Drive and 597 Cooledge Ave.) that had most recently housed Cantoni Furniture and Illuminations Lighting. The high-profile corner is located a few yards from where the Beltline’s popular Eastside Trail and new Northeast Trail section link to each other with an expanded, improved pedestrian crossing at Monroe Drive.
Public Storage, a national self-storage provider, is building a larger facility to replace those structures. That use has drawn the ire of both neighborhood leaders and Beltline development arbiters.
The company hasn’t clarified exactly what it’s building, or when it plans to deliver, despite repeated requests for more information throughout most of 2024. Inquiries this week to Public Storage officials have also not been returned.

The construction timeline is important to parts of Atlanta beyond the Monroe Drive site.
On the flipside of Piedmont Park, the Atlanta Botanical Garden’s $150-million expansion project hinges on the Public Storage facility project being finished and open.
The Garden’s 8-acre expansion will consume adjacent land where Public Storage has operated for years. In exchange, the Garden is swapping the Monroe Drive property, which it bought for $13.5 million in 2023, with Public Storage, so the company can maintain a presence in the area.
The Botanical Garden also bought Public Storage’s facility on Piedmont Avenue, immediately north of the current gardens, for a reported $40 million.
Drawings shared by Public Storage representatives in early 2023 with the Atlanta Beltline Design Review Committee—following several design updates—lend an idea what’s in store for the intown corner.
According to those plans, the self-storage project would include office space (and bike racks) with a large, Botanical Garden-themed mural on one wall.
The lack of retail space or residential uses such as townhomes peeved Beltline DRC members during planning stages in 2023. They criticized the project as presented as “a missed opportunity” and “a use that does not belong on the Beltline or anywhere near it.”
Building permits indicate the self-storage facility will stand five stories—its height today. A competing business, Extra Space Storage, has long operated another self-storage facility next door on the same block, along Kanuga Street.

Botanical Garden officials told Urbanize Atlanta in November they hope to break ground on the expansion in late 2025, with completion sometime in 2027. But that’s all contingent on Public Storage relinquishing their current building on the Garden’s expansion site.
