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…

A year and ½ after it broke ground, a project that adds density and new retail dimensions to Avondale Estates’ distinctive downtown area has rounded into shape.
But exactly what will operate there remains a question mark—at least publicly.
The Dale, a 24,000-square-foot commercial development that’s almost entirely brick-built, has completed exterior construction at the corner of North Avondale Road and Lake Street.
The two-story, two-building complex sits between Avondale Estates’ under-construction Complete Street overhaul of the city’s main traffic corridor and the Town Green, which won the 2023 Urban Land Institute of Atlanta Award of Excellence in the Public Realm category. The city’s open-air Market Pavilion space is also situated immediately to the west.
The development team, Healey Weatherholtz Properties and Fabric Developers, designed The Dale to be a vibrant retail and restaurant row that complements the 2-acre greenspace.
Asked for a project update earlier this month, Healey Weatherholtz creative director Carrie Brown said the company is looking forward to announcing tenants soon but doesn’t currently have updates to share on that front.

The bulk of The Dale’s retail spaces will front North Avondale Road. Plans also call for at least two restaurants—one with a rooftop bar and event space overlooking the park from the second story. Other second-floor spaces will be reserved for tenants such as coworking or office spaces, project leaders have said.
Another component of The Dale will be public restroom facilities that will be open whenever the Town Green is.

The project replaces a funky art-filled corner space and a low-rise building about a block west of Avondale’s well-known, Tudor-style commercial village. Future sections of downtown growth adjacent to The Dale call for hotel and residential offerings (as detailed in the gallery here).

Nearly the entire left side of the Atlanta Beltline’s fabled 22-mile oval is now poured, paved, and ready to roll.
In news that could make longtime Beltline proponents well up with happy tears, project officials on Tuesday announced the 1.3-mile missing piece—Westside Trail Segment 4—is officially open for runners, cyclists, walkers, and anyone else not traveling by motorized vehicle.
That means 6.8 miles of contiguous, uninterrupted, mainline Beltline pathway has now been pieced together—the longest stretch to date—connecting neighborhoods around the loop from Huff Road in Blandtown down to Pittsburgh Yards, directly south of downtown.
The Westside Trail’s newest section is also now linked with the 1.7-mile connector trail that shoots out of downtown, providing a route to the city’s commercial core.
Latest construction progress map for the Beltline’s 22-mile loop, with the 1.3-mile Westside Trail’s Segment 4 (now complete) at left.Atlanta Beltline Inc.
For months, Beltline heads have been predicting Segment 4 would debut sometime in the second quarter of this year. An official ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Andre Dickens, Beltline president and CEO Clyde Higgs, and other community and elected local leaders is scheduled for Monday afternoon.
Beltline leadership is calling the Segment 4 opening “a major milestone” for the overall project.
The 1.3-mile connecting piece “transforms a fragmented pathway into a seamless corridor that runs along Washington Park,” notes the announcement, “weaving through neighborhoods where streets honor civil rights leaders Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Joseph E. Boone, and Joseph Lowery.”

Part of Segment 4 was opened last fall, but a gap of nearly a mile remained, restricting off-street travel across a multitude of Westside and Southwest Atlanta neighborhoods.
Beltline officials have called the section in question complex, with its new bridges and other elevated structures. It includes a fiber duct bank, vertical connections to neighborhood streets, security cameras, and lighting, alongside storm drainage and management systems with green infrastructure.
Segment 4 broke ground in March 2023. At that time, project leaders predicted it would open this summer.

Disgraced Nightingale CEO Elie Schwartz Begs For Leniency After $63M CrowdStreet Fraud
Disgraced Nightingale CEO Elie Schwartz Begs For Leniency After $63M CrowdStreet Fraud
The disgraced CEO of Nightingale Properties says he “learned a valuable lesson” about how he shouldn’t be trusted with other people’s money after admitting to a $63M fraud scheme.
Elchonon “Elie” Schwartz is hoping to avoid jail time after pleading guilty to one count of wire fraud in February, which carries a maximum 20-year sentence. Federal prosecutors are seeking a prison term less than half that length.
Schwartz raised $63M via CrowdStreet in 2022 to fund the planned acquisition of the Atlanta Financial Center office complex and a recapitalization of a Miami Beach office building he already owned. He never closed on…

Anyone who’s recently traveled the Stone Mountain Trail between Decatur and Clarkston may have noticed fresh crops of homes and multifamily dwellings—without realizing they’re in an under-the-radar but growing, census-designated, ITP place.
Just north of new trailside townhomes in Avondale Estates, the DeKalb County community of Scottdale has seen numerous infill single-family projects take shape in recent years, many of them within walking distance of the PATH Foundation multi-use pathway.
Another new townhome project called Mills on Proctor is now in the works a few steps east of the Stone Mountain Trail, which is undergoing master-planning studies as a means of triggering more growth.

Mills on Proctor is a project by Pritchett Development, a firm that’s considered the primary developer and landowner in Scottdale and has help catalyze recent population growth, according to owner Elgin Pritchett.
Pritchett said plans for the townhome venture have been expanded from nine to 12 units now that additional parcels have been acquired next door.
Mills on Proctor will take shape where Robinson and Proctor avenues meet. The location, a few blocks east of Your DeKalb Farmers Market, is about a mile and ½ from downtown Avondale Estates, and two and ½ miles from downtown Decatur.
According to Pritchett, the townhomes will have three bedrooms and three full bathrooms (some with a fourth bedroom or flex space) in about 2,400 square feet. Prices will range between the low and mid-$500,000s, he said.
Townhomes of comparable sizes currently on the market in nearby Decatur are priced in the high $600,000s and up, according to listing services.
Alongside single-family homes both finished, under construction, or in permitting, Pritchett’s company completed a similar seven-unit townhome concept three years ago called The Mills at Scottdale. Two units remain unsold there.

The broader community, in Pritchett’s view, remains a good investment but relatively unsung.
A recent Home Stratosphere analysis pegged Scottdale as one the fastest-appreciating markets in Georgia (No. 16 of 25 spotlighted), based on Zillow Home Value Index data. Back in 2018, Realtor.com ranked Scottdale the country’s fourth fastest-growing “suburb.”
Which begs the question: You buyin’, ATL?

Another housing node planned near popular PATH Foundation trail

Anyone who’s recently traveled the Stone Mountain Trail between Decatur and Clarkston may have noticed fresh crops of homes and multifamily dwellings—without realizing they’re in an under-the-radar but growing, census-designated, ITP place. Just north of new trailside townhomes in Avondale Estates, the DeKalb County community of Scottdale has seen numerous infill single-family projects take shape in recent years, many of them within walking distance of the PATH Foundation multi-use pathway. Another new townhome project called Mills on Proctor is now in the works a few steps east of the Stone Mountain Trail, which is undergoing master-planning studies as a means of triggering more growth.

Mills on Proctor is a project by Pritchett Development, a firm that’s considered the primary developer and landowner in Scottdale and has help catalyze recent population growth, according to owner Elgin Pritchett. Pritchett said plans for the townhome venture have been expanded from nine to 12 units now that additional parcels have been acquired next door. Mills on Proctor will take shape where Robinson and Proctor avenues meet. The location, a few blocks east of Your DeKalb Farmers Market, is about a mile and ½ from downtown Avondale Estates, and two and ½ miles from downtown Decatur. According to Pritchett, the townhomes will have three bedrooms and three full bathrooms (some with a fourth bedroom or flex space) in about 2,400 square feet. Prices will range between the low and mid-$500,000s, he said. Townhomes of comparable sizes currently on the market in nearby Decatur are priced in the high $600,000s and up, according to listing services. Alongside single-family homes both finished, under construction, or in permitting, Pritchett’s company completed a similar seven-unit townhome concept three years ago called The Mills at Scottdale. Two units remain unsold there.
