Days are numbered for a low-slung building just north of Georgia Tech’s Bobby Dodd Stadium, where an injection of student housing is planned on a smaller scale than most recent intown developments geared toward college kids.
Real estate investment company CCI Real Estate has received rezoning approvals from the City of Atlanta to move forward with a five-story, mixed-use project at 740 Techwood Drive, less than a block from the Yellowjackets’ football stadium, according to company officials.
The project, which is being developed in partnership with the Georgia Baptist Mission Board, will replace the longstanding Baptist Collegiate Ministry building on campus.

CCI’s plans for the half-acre site call for 55 one-and two-bedroom apartments spread across 64,000 square feet.
The mixed-use components include an on-site coffeehouse, 12,000 square feet of student community space at the ground level, and an upgraded ministry facility, according to project leaders. (Sorry, kids, no rooftop poolside jumbotron and neon-bedecked podcast studios here).
According to CCI, the schedule calls for breaking ground next summer and opening the building in the summer of 2027.
The company’s goal is to create “missional impact and community transformation,” and it’s also currently in the process of redeveloping the Baptist College Ministry buildings at the University of Georgia in Athens and Georgia Southern University in Statesboro with similar mixed uses.

The Baptist College Ministry has been active on Tech’s campus for more than 75 years.
“Now [the organization] will get a well-deserved upgrade to usher in a new chapter of growth and ministry in Atlanta,” said Jeff Warwick, CEO at CCI, in a project announcement. “By developing a vibrant, mixed-use community, we aim to support [the ministry’s] longstanding impact on students at Georgia Tech while also providing much-needed student housing in a prime location on campus.”
Meanwhile, just down the street, Georgia Tech athletics recently kicked off a $500-million fundraising campaign called Full Steam Ahead that could produce upgraded facilities for Ramblin’ Wreck football fans, along with basketball and volleyball players. As part of those efforts, Bobby Dodd Stadium’s transformation is set to include a massive videoboard at the south end, new clubs and a speakeasy, along with an array of deluxe suites.

Ambitious redevelopment plans are coming into clearer focus for a warehouse district that fronts a significant portion of under-construction Beltline trail on Atlanta’s Westside.
The Allen Morris Company, a Florida-based real estate firm with a growing Atlanta presence, has completed the rezoning phase for a 15.5-acre site in Bankhead the company says could become a “new nexus point for the Westside.”
Allen Morris, which bought the 1060 Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway property for $31 million in 2022, has provided new renderings that detail how the future Beltline-adjacent district would look and function, as drawn by Miami-based Royal Byckovas architecture firm.
The site includes four developable parcels overall, all situated just east of the Maddox Park greenspace, MARTA’s Bankhead station, and Microsoft’s ballyhooed but postponed 90-acre Westside campus development.
The scope of redevelopment could be massive, with up to 1,600 residential units and 700,000 square feet of commercial space in Allen Morris’ eventual plans. That would include the adaptive-reuse reimagining of a 60,000-square-foot warehouse into a Beltline-fronting town center, project officials said this week. (Renderings also depict an observation tower with “Ironside” branding, standing over the site.)

The first phase of construction will focus on remaking the warehouse into a retail hub with a market, bars, and food and beverage options. Other facets nearby will include pickleball courts, public greenspaces, and bike paths on the property, per Allen Morris officials.
On the residential front, the initial phase will see between 100 and 150 for-sale townhomes erected on a 5.5-acre section of the property next to the Beltline. Allen Morris officials are currently in talks with several homebuilders for potential partnerships on that facet of the development.
But the bulk of living options would come in several multifamily buildings with ground-floor retail planned to rise around the town center portion in future phases.

Spence Morris, Allen Morris president, said the company’s revised development plan and sequence for the project will initially be geared toward creating “a lush connection point and promenade from the Westside Beltline into the retail-activated adaptive-reuse phase,” according to a statement provided to Urbanize Atlanta.
We’ve asked Allen Morris reps for details on construction timelines and the inclusion of affordable housing in Bankhead, and we’ll update this story with any additional information that comes.
All aspects of residential development “will comply with Beltline overlay inclusionary zoning,” notes a statement. That requires developers to provide either 15 percent of a project’s housing units for households earning 80 percent or less of the area median income, or 10 percent for residents making 60 percent AMI or less.
Much of the Donald Lee Hollowell property is vacant today, with the exception of a nonprofit facility and community organization called Village Skatepark ATL. According to the skatepark’s website, it’s conducting a 2024 fundraiser to help secure a new building and permanent location.

Allen Morris, a national developer, is actively planning the final phases of its growing Star Metals District about two miles east of the Bankhead site. Elsewhere in Atlanta, the company opened the Bryn House project in North Druid Hills about a year ago.
Alongside the Bankhead site, the full 5.6-mile Westside Trail’s completion could come in a few months, apart from a small gap in West End that’s seeking designers and engineers now.
The trail’s largest remaining gap—a 1.3-mile section between Bankhead and Historic Westin Heights, down to the western edge of Washington Park—remains mostly under construction now. 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.
Allen Morris’ plans aren’t the only major Westside housing news to emerge this week.
Roughly a mile away, Beltline leaders detailed plans this week for creating up to 1,100 residences (nearly 1/3 reserved as affordable housing) and a much smaller amount of commercial space (5,000 square feet) at the largest developable site the agency owns: a 31-acre parcel at 425 Chappell Road, also in Bankhead.
Beltline officials told the AJC the $270-million project could officially be seeking development partners by next summer and be fully built and open by 2030, pending rezoning and a Development of Regional Impact evaluation that was recently set into motion.

In the wonderful world of Atlanta development wonks, a cleared lot on 14th Street near Piedmont Park has emerged in recent years as the new capital of false alarms.
That trend appears to be continuing this month. Maybe.
As Midtown residents and others in cyberspace have noted, heavy equipment and work crews have been spotted over the past week at 250 14th St., where active intown developer Toll Brothers initially revealed plans for an apartment tower back in 2019. Tweaked plans for more density were later the source of neighborhood ire and a petition against them.
Toll Brothers officials this week didn’t specify if recent activity at the site is the start of construction, testing, stabilization, or any other purpose.
“While we still do own the property,” a development rep wrote to Urbanize Atlanta via email, “we don’t have much information to share at this time.”

The only permitting activity filed with Atlanta’s Department of City Planning this year is a Nov. 15 complaint that work was taking place on site “including grading and land movement” without a permit. The city has since issued a stop-work order, according to department records.
In 2021, two old Midtown houses on the north side of 14th Street—one that’d served as offices—were razed to make way for the development. Those properties, according to Toll Brothers’ earlier presentations, were combined with a neighboring, cleared lot where a five-story condo stack called The Dowling was proposed several years ago but didn’t take off.
Along 14th Street, the site is bordered by the Mediterranean-style Windsor apartments and a row of townhouses.
City records indicate Toll Brothers Apartment Living, a division of the national homebuilding giant, applied in early 2022 for a permit to start building a 20-story tower—16 residential levels over a four-story parking deck—called “Vance on 14th.” According to Midtown Alliance, the Brock Hudgins Architects-designed tower would have included 175 units over 310 parking spaces, with no retail space planned, per initial plans.

According to a 2023 Change.org petition, requested changes to the Toll Brothers building would have added 70 units (for a total of 245) and another four stories, though floor heights would be decreased. Most of the additional apartments would have been about 150 feet from Ansley Park properties and backyards, per the petition. But the Atlanta City Council later voted to deny a special-use permit for the additional density, per petitioners.
“[Developers] are manipulating the zoning laws to greatly exceed limitations that were put in place to ensure a graceful transition from Peachtree Street to Piedmont Park and to preserve the integrity of the Ansley [Park] neighborhood aesthetic that we all love,” read the petition.
Toll Brothers officials have agreed to supply more information as plans for the site unfold.

As a recent morning plane ride high over the city proved, Atlanta’s tallest new skyscraper since the early 1990s is beginning to cast shadows over its neighbors, though it remains at only a fraction of its ultimate height.
New York City-based developer Rockefeller Group’s plans for the 60-story 1072 West Peachtree building call for Atlanta’s tallest residential building and tallest mixed-use tower. Even for Midtown, which has been transformed by high-rise investment over the past decade, the Rockefeller project promises to stand out.
Exactly where construction on 1072 West Peachtree stands today isn’t clear, as an inquiry to Rockefeller reps for construction updates hasn’t been returned this week. But we can make an educated guess.
The tower’s wider base—with more than 20 stories of Class A offices, parking, retail, and amenities—appears to be close to reaching its max height. It’s nearly as tall as the SkyHouse Midtown apartment building, a 23-story structure opened in 2013, immediately to the north.
Which means almost 40 stories of apartments in a thinner main tower still have yet to begin, according to a comparison of site plans, renderings, and aerials from last week.

1072 West Peachtree’s two yellow construction cranes are the only ones left standing in the immediate area, as several others have come down over the course of this year in the section of Midtown between Piedmont Park and the Connector.
Rockefeller bought the former 1.14-acre U.S. Postal Service facility site for $25 million in 2020 and officially broke ground on the skyscraper in July last year.
No timeline for 1072 West Peachtree’s completion has been specified, but the site has now seen heavy demolition and infrastructure work ongoing for a year and ½.

Rockefeller officials have said the tower will climb more than 730 feet, making it Atlanta’s fifth tallest high-rise and supplanting Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel for the No. 5 spot. No taller skyrise has been built in Atlanta since 1992.
Designs by Atlanta-based TVS call for 6,300 square feet of retail at the street and 224,000 square feet of Class A office space above that. Topping the building will be more than 350 apartments alongside amenities described as world-class. It’s rising at the southwest corner of West Peachtree and 12th streets.
Other components will include Midtown’s largest outdoor amenity deck—aka, the “Sky Garden”—designed for expansive views of the city, per Rockefeller officials. Inside, plans call for a two-story space where cyclists can lock away bikes and take a shower, in addition to a fitness center described by developers as the best around.
According to Midtown Alliance, some 20 projects have been delivered (or are under construction now) in the 18-block West Peachtree Street corridor in Midtown since 2010.
Rockefeller officials have said the site stood out for its connection to Midtown’s existing street grid and proximity to two MARTA stations, the Southeast’s biggest concentration of cultural and art attractions, and the largest Whole Foods on the East Coast.
Whether it’s fully open or not, the building should add oomph to Midtown’s skyline by the time FIFA World Cup 2026 hoopla arrives in Atlanta.

An Alpharetta residential development that makes no bones about not being affordable housing is inking contracts, despite months of construction left between here and move-in stages.
Officials representing Mayfair on Main, a 24-unit project geared toward “the affluent buyer,” report this week that seven homes have pre-sold as the framing phase of construction is underway at 180 Roswell St.
Leaning heavily into classic brick designs and luxury-grade interiors (each with an elevator), the Mayfair Residential LLC community is taking shape on 1.8 acres about a ½ mile from Alpharetta City Center. That’s the two-time (and counting) champion of Urbanize’s annual Suburban Smackdown contest to determine the Best OTP Downtown.
Trilogy Investment Co. and Blue River Lifestyle Communities are partners on the project.
Prices at Mayfair on Main start (yes, start) at $1.3 million, marking another example of million-dollar, new-construction entry points in Alpharetta that flaunt intown-style walkability as a chief attribute.

Site plans call for 11 townhomes and 13 single-family residences that share no walls, each of them standing four stories with either three or four bedrooms and topped with large roof terraces that sport fireplaces.
Developers have previously told Urbanize Atlanta that floorplans will range from about 3,100 to just under 4,800 square feet.
Directly across the street (but across a four-lane highway) is The Maxwell, which counts attractions such as Fairway Social, Rena’s Italian Fishery and Grill, City Eats Kitchen, and July Moon Bakery. That mixed-use development replaced a sprawling asphalt parking lot a couple of years ago.
The site is also around the corner from Alpharetta’s primary greenspace, the 120-acre Wills Park.
