A short but important piece of the Atlanta Beltline loop has officially kicked off its long process of design and development, project officials relayed today.
Atlanta Beltline Inc. has opened the solicitation process for design of a section in West End called Westside Trail—Segment 6, which is currently an abandoned and cleared rail corridor just north of the Lee + White warehouse district.
Beltline officials describe the .6-mile section as a “pivotal” link between existing Westside Trail sections in former rail corridor that currently end at Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard and Lawton Street, leaving a gap.
The deadline for firms to reply to the Beltline’s Statements of Qualifications request for lead design and engineering is Dec. 5.
“By closing the gap with Segment 6, we’re creating pathways of opportunity, ensuring all Atlantans can enjoy access to this vital part of the trail,” Kimberly Wilson, the Beltline’s vice president of design and construction, said in today’s announcement.
The design phase is scheduled to last through early 2026. Beltline officials are aiming to complete the project in 2027, with landscaping work to follow the opening, according to a recent project update.
The 14-foot-wide, multi-use trail will include bells and whistles found with other Beltline sections, including the popular Eastside Trail.
Soft shoulders beside the paved pathway, lighting, security cameras, a fiber duct bank, stainless steel handrails and guardrails, and drainage components with a focus on green infrastructure, among other aspects, will be included, per project leaders.
The gap in paved, in-corridor trail has existed (and confounded some first-time users) since the three-mile, $43-million Westside Trail debuted seven years ago. It’s required Beltline patrons to exit the Westside Trail corridor and zigzag up and down ramps and follow an adjacent sidewalk path to continue using the Beltline.
The paved Segment 6 will create a much straighter and simpler protected route. It will run between the 1295 West Apartments (formerly Donnelly Gardens) and a large warehouse and office structure where Lee + White owners Ackerman & Co. are planning to build out another 208,000 square feet of mixed uses. A large pickleball concept is scheduled to open at that building in coming months.
Beyond Segment 6, the full 5.6-mile Westside Trail’s completion is on the horizon.
The biggest remaining gap—a 1.3-mile section between Bankhead and Historic Westin Heights, down to the western edge of Washington Park—remains largely under construction.
Beltline leaders say that piece, Segment 4, is on pace to open in the second quarter of next year. It will include a direct (and relatively flat) link into downtown via the Westside Beltline Connector trail.

Out with Mall West End and in with… “One West End”?
According to a new “Coming Soon” promotional website, the One West End branding will be applied to a 12-acre mall site that’s been a West End shopping destination for half a century but is set for a mixed-use overhaul that leverages proximity to downtown, MARTA, the Atlanta Beltline, and Atlanta University Center, among other attractions.
The website was put together by BRP Companies and The Prusik Group, New York City-based real estate companies that closed on Mall West End’s property four weeks ago for an undisclosed price.
Those firms plan to redevelop the 1970s shopping center in partnership with the City of Atlanta and Atlanta Beltline Inc., with Atlanta Urban Development Corporation—a local nonprofit entity that strives to develop underused public land into mixed-income housing—also on board, according BRP officials.
The online promo package, which invites CRE professionals and neighborhood residents to “be a part of West End’s next chapter,” also includes the most specific visuals to date for what mall redevelopment could look like.
City leaders recently predicted Mall West End’s site will see 1.7 million square feet of development in coming years, costing to the tune of $450 million.
How residential would be stacked over neighborhood amenities at One West End. Prusik Group/BRP Companies; One West End
Construction is expected to begin sometime next year, following rounds of community engagement to gather design input.
According to a city announcement earlier this month, the first phase will deliver in 2026. But the One West End website states the initial phase won’t open until roughly two years later, or sometime in 2028.
Key facets of the redevelopment are set to include roughly 125,000 square feet of retail with a grocery store, local boutiques, a fitness center, and food-and-beverage options.
At least 10,000 square feet of commercial space that leases at affordable rates will also be in the mix for qualified local small businesses, along with 12,000 square feet of medical office space, per the city.
Other sections would see a 150-room hotel built, plus roughly 900 units of mixed-income rental housing. According to the city’s announcement, 70 percent of those rentals would be reserved as workforce housing, while 20 percent would rent at 50 percent of the area median income or less, and 10 percent at 80 percent AMI.
Elsewhere would be student housing and communal perks that include bike parking, a public greenspace, resident lounges, and activated streetscapes, per the city.

Mall West End’s most recent redevelopment concepts (unveiled by the same development team in 2022) called for a mix of retail and residential uses at a much smaller scale than previous proposals. Prusik Group & BRP
Mall West End’s ownership group had been exploring options to offload the property for several years. The mall is dotted with vacancies but counts Planet Fitness, Foot Locker, Journey’s, and food-and-beverage options such as American Deli as primary attractions today. Project leaders have called finding space for legacy retailers a priority for new development.
With its location near MARTA’s West End station, the Beltline’s Westside Trail, and AUC colleges, the mall property has had no trouble attracting developer interest in recent years. But each of three earlier visions fell apart—including a slightly smaller proposal (1.5 million square feet of total development) from The Prusik Group and BRP.
Funding for the deal includes $19 million in acquisition financing provided by Merchants Capital, plus a $5 million acquisition loan from Atlanta Urban Development and another $5 million from Beltline coffers, according to the city.
The development team has vowed to contribute at least $500,000 to a fund that will help qualifying commercial tenants with rent credits and tenant improvement allowances.

A multi-building development expected to help reawaken a historic downtown area in West Cobb is ready for its closeup.
After breaking ground in summer 2022, Atlanta-based developer Novare Group, Batson-Cook Development Co., and PointOne Holdings have delivered a public-private development deal in Powder Springs now christened Springside.
Powder Springs, a Cobb County city of roughly 17,000 residents, is located about 25 miles northwest of Midtown and is known for its historic downtown shops and architecture—and for being a pitstop off the Silver Comet Trail.
The Springside project aims to add living options and foot traffic to a town center that city officials are working to make more vibrant, across the street from Thurman Springs Park, with local restaurants and shops nearby. Its grand opening will likely come next month, project reps tell Urbanize Atlanta.
With 226 units overall, the eight-building project counts a mix of two-story carriage houses and apartment structures standing three or four stories. No retail or commercial space was included.
Springside rents start at $1,429 monthly. That gets a one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit in a studio-esque 428 square feet.
The largest two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments start at $1,812 for between 1,188 and 1,296 square feet, spread across two floors.
Amenities at the Humphreys & Partners Architects-designed apartments include a pet park, coworking lounge, a fitness center with yoga, private garages for some units, and a pool with a sun-shelf and tanning ledge described as being resort-quality, according to developers.
“Our goal was to create modern, vibrant spaces that blend seamlessly with the charm of downtown Powder Springs,” said Novare president and CEO Jim Borders in a project announcement, “and we’ve accomplished exactly that.”
Powder Springs’ new town center will eventually cover 6.6 acres downtown, consuming land within walking distance of Marietta Street shops and restaurants, a future trail connection to the 61-mile Silver Comet, and the aforementioned, $4.1-million Thurman Springs Park, which the city debuted in 2021.
Swing up to the gallery for a closer look at how this section of downtown has come together.

Its grand opening will likely come next month, project reps tell Urbanize Atlanta.
With 226 units overall, the eight-building project counts a mix of two-story carriage houses and apartment structures standing three or four stories. No retail or commercial space was included.

Springside rents start at $1,429 monthly. That gets a one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit in a studio-esque 428 square feet.
The largest two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments start at $1,812 for between 1,188 and 1,296 square feet, spread across two floors.
Amenities at the Humphreys & Partners Architects-designed apartments include a pet park, coworking lounge, a fitness center with yoga, private garages for some units, and a pool with a sun-shelf and tanning ledge described as being resort-quality, according to developers.
“Our goal was to create modern, vibrant spaces that blend seamlessly with the charm of downtown Powder Springs,” said Novare president and CEO Jim Borders in a project announcement, “and we’ve accomplished exactly that.”

Powder Springs’ new town center will eventually cover 6.6 acres downtown, consuming land within walking distance of Marietta Street shops and restaurants, a future trail connection to the 61-mile Silver Comet, and the aforementioned, $4.1-million Thurman Springs Park, which the city debuted in 2021.

Images: How new facet of Cobb County town center came together

A multi-building development expected to help reawaken a historic downtown area in West Cobb is ready for its closeup.
After breaking ground in summer 2022, Atlanta-based developer Novare Group, Batson-Cook Development Co., and PointOne Holdings have delivered a public-private development deal in Powder Springs now christened Springside.
Powder Springs, a Cobb County city of roughly 17,000 residents, is located about 25 miles northwest of Midtown and is known for its historic downtown shops and architecture—and for being a pitstop off the Silver Comet Trail.
The Springside project aims to add living options and foot traffic to a town center that city officials are working to make more vibrant, across the street from Thurman Springs Park, with local restaurants and shops nearby. Its grand opening will likely come next month, project reps tell Urbanize Atlanta.
