Atlanta Passes Revamped Tree Ordinance After Making Developer-Friendly Tweaks
Atlanta Passes Revamped Tree Ordinance After Making Developer-Friendly Tweaks
The price a developer will have to pay when cutting down a tree in Atlanta is set to increase by 350% after the Atlanta City Council passed the first major revision to the city’s tree ordinance in more than two decades.
But the final version of the rule, which passed the council unanimously Monday night and has the support of Mayor Andre Dickens, is far less punitive toward developers and landowners removing trees on their property than what was initially proposed this spring.
“As a multi-generational Atlanta native, I am proud of our beautiful city in the forest,” Dickens said in a statement. “Atlanta has always been…

Slowly but surely, two formerly empty lots in Midtown are becoming a connective new street with space for more than cars.
Sidewalk pouring, utility relocation, granite curb installation, and other work continues for the 15th Street extension that’s taking shape around two busy north-south traffic corridors, with hopes of opening soon.
The 15th Street extension will create a multimodal, people-friendly, two-block link from the Arts Center MARTA station to Williams Street, near the downtown Connector. After breaking ground early last year, work on site has included rock blasting and removal.
Previously, 15th Street dead-ended at West Peachtree Street, next to the AMLI Arts Center and Hanover Midtown apartment towers.

That walled off access to the transit hub for sections of Spring Street, where hundreds of new residences have recently taken shape in buildings such as Mira at Midtown Union.
Atlanta Department of Transportation and Midtown Alliance project pages indicate the 15th Street extension is on pace to be mostly finished in September. (We’ve asked officials today if that timeline is still accurate and will update this story if not.)
The extended street will slip between the apartment high-rises, the building that houses Whole World Improv Theatre, and Spectrum on Spring apartments, consuming what most recently functioned as a gravel parking lot and construction staging zone.
In the works are three new lanes of public roadway between West Peachtree and Spring streets, including two left-turn lanes at both of those one-way streets. West of that, expect a single through-lane in each direction, connecting to Williams Street.
Other features will include five-foot-wide bicycle lanes at sidewalk level in each direction, another five-foot zone dedicated to trees and street furniture, and 10-foot sidewalks on both sides of the street.
The bike lanes are designed to directly connect with the Arts Center MARTA station, recent residential and hotel developments, and other bike routes in the district, per Midtown Alliance. No bike lanes on Spring or West Peachtree streets currently exist near 15th Street, though.

The full two-block extension has consumed Georgia Department of Transportation right-of-way. That eliminated the costs of acquiring real estate, project officials have said.
After receiving a grant from the Atlanta Regional Commission, city and GDOT officials began work to design the 15th Street project back in summer 2017.
In addition to fundraising, engineering, traffic, and environmental studies took place over the next few years. A hiccup involving the bidding process knocked the construction timeline back in fall 2022.
According to Midtown Alliance, the project was awarded to low bidder Reeves Young in December 2023, and construction began in earnest about three months later.
More than $6 million was secured to build the project, with about half of that coming from GDOT and federal coffers. Midtown Improvement District funds and City of Atlanta impact fees have covered the bulk of remaining costs.

Former shipping containers have started stacking up as future, supportive living options in another mostly overlooked pocket of Atlanta.
Following a ceremonial groundbreaking in December, vertical construction has begun on the Waterworks Rapid Housing Project in Berkeley Park, another effort by the City of Atlanta and its partners to deliver affordable housing more quickly than traditional construction, per city officials.
The Waterworks project is being built with modular construction on city-owned land where Green Street meets Reservoir Drive. That’s due west of Midtown, near the intersection of 17th Street and Northside Drive and the city’s Waterworks Reservoir Number Two.

Plans call for two buildings with roughly 100 units each, both standing three stories. An earlier presentation indicates the apartments will be between 192 and 254 square feet for people in the city experiencing homelessness, with wraparound help provided such as mental health services.
Officials told Axios Atlanta in December each Waterworks unit will include a washer and dryer and other amenities, and that designs call for each building to look traditional, with the modular construction method undetectable.
To date, the city has completed three projects as part of its rapid-housing push: downtown’s The Melody, a village of former shipping containers; a building rehab in Old Fourth Ward called 729 Bonaventure; and Reynoldstown motel conversion Ralph David House.

A fifth project—405 Cooper St. in Mechanicsville—broke ground on its first phase in June. The approach there will be mixed-income, with 100 modular-built units of supportive housing alongside 70 townhomes priced at market-rate, city officials have said.
The city’s goal is to open 500 new rapid-housing units total—including the Waterworks initiative—by the end of this year.

Northeast of Atlanta, a multifaceted infill project is finishing construction that designers call a refreshingly walkable alternative to typical suburban development.
Satellite Commons, named for its location along Satellite Boulevard, is claiming a 40-acre former office site and parking lots across two phases in Duluth’s Sugarloaf area. It’s just north of the Interstate 85 junction with Ga. Highway 316, across the street from Mercedes-Benz of Atlanta Northeast, a large dealership.
The site is the former headquarters of Fortune 500 company NCR, a financial telecommunications firm that made waves by uprooting from Gwinnett to a glassy high-rise complex in Midtown seven years ago.
Officials with Nelson Worldwide, Satellite Commons’ architect of record, tell Urbanize Atlanta the project’s initial phase is finishing construction and scheduled to be completed in September.

Phase one includes 350 apartments, 64 rental cottages, and 25,000 square feet of walkable retail and restaurant space. Another 350 multifamily units are in the pipeline for phase two.
Onsite perks include saltwater pools described as “resort-style,” fitness centers, clubhouses with coworking, pocket parks, business centers, conference rooms, and multi-use trails that link the community to the Gwinnett County Trail Network. Overall, the goal was to create a “seamless blend of modern living, retail convenience, and accessible recreation,” per an architectural overview.
On the retail front, the project is partially leased, and tenants have begun moving in. We’ve asked for a list of signed tenants and will update this story should that come.

John Lewis, a Nelson principal and multifamily national practice leader, says the project’s planning lends functionality, aesthetic cohesiveness, and a modern feel—for “not just another suburban center,” in other words.
“Unlike other nearby small to medium-sized suburban developments, which tend to be standalone retail or office… or residential apartments, Satellite Commons blends both residential and commercial within one pedestrian-friendly complex,” Lewis wrote in an email.
“It’s a full experience,” he continued, “[with] daily necessities, amenities, recreation, and social spaces, all walkable and programmed. That is rare in the broader Satellite Boulevard area, where commercial corridors dominate.”

Northeast of Atlanta, a multifaceted infill project is finishing construction that designers call a refreshingly walkable alternative to typical suburban development. Satellite Commons, named for its location along Satellite Boulevard, is claiming a 40-acre former office site and parking lots across two phases in Duluth’s Sugarloaf area. It’s just north of the Interstate 85 junction with Ga. Highway 316, across the street from Mercedes-Benz of Atlanta Northeast, a large dealership. The site is the former headquarters of Fortune 500 company NCR, a financial telecommunications firm that made waves by uprooting from Gwinnett to a glassy high-rise complex in Midtown seven years ago. Officials with Nelson Worldwide, Satellite Commons’ architect of record, tell Urbanize Atlanta the project’s initial phase is finishing construction and scheduled to be completed in September.

Phase one includes 350 apartments, 64 rental cottages, and 25,000 square feet of walkable retail and restaurant space. Another 350 multifamily units are in the pipeline for phase two. Onsite perks include saltwater pools described as “resort-style,” fitness centers, clubhouses with coworking, pocket parks, business centers, conference rooms, and multi-use trails that link the community to the Gwinnett County Trail Network. Overall, the goal was to create a “seamless blend of modern living, retail convenience, and accessible recreation,” per an architectural overview. On the retail front, the project is partially leased, and tenants have begun moving in. We’ve asked for a list of signed tenants and will update this story should that come.

John Lewis, a Nelson principal and multifamily national practice leader, says the project’s planning lends functionality, aesthetic cohesiveness, and a modern feel—for “not just another suburban center,” in other words. “Unlike other nearby small to medium-sized suburban developments, which tend to be standalone retail or office… or residential apartments, Satellite Commons blends both residential and commercial within one pedestrian-friendly complex,” Lewis wrote in an email.“It’s a full experience,” he continued, “[with] daily necessities, amenities, recreation, and social spaces, all walkable and programmed. That is rare in the broader Satellite Boulevard area, where commercial corridors dominate.”In the gallery above, find more context and all available imagery. …Follow us on social media: Twitter / Facebook/and now: Instagram • Gwinnett County news, discussion (Urbanize Atlanta)
