’Tis the season for time-honored, random traditions, and in Atlanta that calls for a criteria-free competition to determine which neighborhood was most wonderful of all this year.
But first, for this year’s Best Atlanta Neighborhood tournament, we need YOU, the people, to nominate the neighborhood you believe is 2024’s best. For whatever reason.
Did your ’hood show exceptional class, resilience, and togetherness this year? Did it boost its restaurant, shopping, or nightlife game? Did a truly affordable living option come to be? Did an amazing park or building finally open? Were marvelous old homes restored on your street, or new ones built? Etc.
The goal is to keep the nomination process as simple and democratic as possible. Please follow these easy steps:
1. In the comments section below, nominate one Atlanta neighborhood or nearby city in the metro. (If more than one place is named, only the first will be counted.)
2. If that’s too complicated, reach out to us via Facebook, Twitter, or now Instagram with your neighborhood nomination.
3. Feel free to express WHY you think your/that particular neighborhood is 2024’s best. Go on—brag on yourself!
Nominations will close at 1 p.m. sharp (EST) Friday.
The 16 Atlanta neighborhoods with the most nominations will qualify for the tournament. Seeding will be determined by the number of nominations.
Again, seeding will be determined by the number of nominations.
The winning Atlanta neighborhood will receive the everlasting prestige of showing an entire city that it takes pride in itself and truly cares. It’ll also have bragging rights—like mighty Mozley Park, amazing Avondale Estates, and heroic Hapeville have enjoyed—for a full year.
Below is a recap of all past winners. Who shall join them from the fascinating year that was 2024?

Portman targets Alpharetta office park for major redevelopment
Portman targets Alpharetta office park for major redevelopment
Portman targets Alpharetta office park for major redevelopment
Josh Green
Tue, 12/10/2024 – 14:10
Paperwork filed with the State of Georgia indicates prominent intown developer Portman Holdings has set sights on Alpharetta for its next large project.
Portman is compiling plans to convert an office park about a mile and ½ east of Avalon into a mixed-use district with hundreds of new residences, according to a Development of Regional Impact filing made Monday with the Georgia Department of Community Affairs.
The Alpharetta site in question is home to two office buildings—Brookside One & Two—and large asphalt parking lots along Old Milton Parkway (Ga. Highway 120). According to LoopNet, the Class A buildings total about 266,000 square feet.
According to the DRI filing, roughly 130,000 square feet of occupied offices would remain onsite, with the rest converted into residential, commercial, and retail uses.

Specifically, Portman’s plans call for building 350 multifamily units, 90 townhomes, and 60,000 square feet of commercial and retail space from Brookside’s current buildings and parking lots.
The project’s estimated completion date is listed as 2029. We’ve reached out to Portman officials for more project details and will update this story with any additional information that comes.
As a first step toward redevelopment, Portman is filing the project with the state for review as a possible DRI. The DRI classification, which applies to projects large enough to effect multiple jurisdictions, is meant to streamline the development process and gather local input.
As it currently stands, the Brookside property counts four parking spaces for every 1,000 square feet of offices, with a new outdoor courtyard as its centerpiece. A trail system nearby links with the Big Creek Greenway, a miles-long destination for biking, walking, and jogging.

According to CBRE marketing materials, the property underwent a multi-million-dollar renovation, completed in 2022, that included a new conference center, lounge, and lobby for both buildings. The goal was to “enhance tenant wellness and productivity,” per the commercial real estate firm.
Closer to its downtown Atlanta home base, Portman has made no shortage of development-related headlines in recent years.
The company officially debuted metro Atlanta’s largest office project of 2024 last week, and it continues to deliver restaurant options to the Beltline’s most active stretch at its Junction Krog District project in Old Fourth Ward.
Elsewhere along the Beltline, the company has scaled back redevelopment plans for Amsterdam Walk in the face of community pushback and cut ties entirely with a massive proposal along Ponce de Leon Avenue, citing economic headwinds.

More than five years after it was initially proposed, and a full year after it topped out, a rare example of for-sale, intown condo development is ready for its closeup on one of Atlanta’s most well-known commercial corridors.
Mixed-use project The Leon on Ponce has begun a sales push in Old Fourth Ward beneath a butterfly roof (with offices), with a distinctly modern façade that includes oversized, V-shaped steel struts facing east and west.
The Leon was first marketed in spring 2019 as the replacement for a cleared, .9-acre site that had served as surface parking, situated between Mister Carwash and a new boutique hotel, less than a block west of Ponce City Market.
Delays caused by construction material sourcing have bumped back the opening timeline in more recent years, project officials have said.

Prices at the 74-unit building— developed by Urban Eco Group and designed by S House, both Atlanta-based companies—will range from the $300,000s up to $1.2-million penthouses, though not all of the nine total floorplans are available yet, according to marketing materials.
Aspects of the project that hadn’t been previously disclosed—12 rooftop offices for lease, and more than 2,200 square feet of ground-floor retail where Ark Coffeehaus will operate near the lobby—are detailed on The Leon’s website. It stands five stories above a parking podium.
Current pricing starts at $394,000 for a single bedroom and one bathroom in 629 square feet. That’s a third-floor condo with a 193-square-foot balcony, facing west.
The priciest one-bedroom option (a corner unit with 672 square feet, another 481 exterior square feet, and Midtown views) is asking $544,000.
The most expensive Leon option currently listed—dubbed the Babe Ruth plan as a nod to the historic baseball stadium replaced by a shopping center across Ponce—is asking $829,000. That buys a two-bedroom, two-bathroom corner unit with Midtown views and 1,080 square (plus 63 square feet outside).
Condo perks are listed as 10-foot ceilings, sleek design, five-inch white oak hardwoods, and balconies big enough for morning yoga.
The Leon lacks a pool, but onsite amenities are listed as a secure parking garage (with more than 30 EV chargers), bike and personal storage space on each floor, a dog run and pet-washing station, multiple coworking spaces, and an in-house cocktail lounge

The 1,080-square-foot Babe Ruth plan (a nod to the historic ballpark that once stood across Ponce) is the largest for sale right now. The Leon on Ponce/ownatleon.com
The Leon joins thousands of apartments developed in the area over the past dozen years but only a handful of condo offerings.
Those include Capital City Real Estate’s 29-unit Flats at the Indie and a Beltline-fronting condo venture a few blocks from The Leon called The Roycraft in Virginia-Highland.
Beyond The Leon condos, investment has poured into this formerly scruffy section of Ponce in recent years, most notably with Ponce City Market’s two-building, phase-two growth spurt, now finished at the corner of Glen Iris Drive. On the property immediately west of the condos, the 111-room Wylie Hotel opened in 2021, reviving a landmark building from the 1920s. And less than two blocks away, on the same side of Ponce, Chick-fil-A bulldozed a gas station and opened a brick-clad, drive-thru restaurant last year at the corner of Boulevard.
The “earth-toned vertical screen stretching across the building’s second floor facade provides a welcoming, modern marquis,” per a project description. Josh Green/Urbanize Atlanta
Prior to The Leon breaking ground, a “Coming Soon” sign for the project stood at the property for more than two years.
With the exception of a few shipping containers, the site’s last occupant was the controversial Phoenix bar, which the city shut down in 2005. An LLC called 567 Ponce de Leon Partners PL1 scooped up the property in April 2019 for $2.14 million, property records show.

Beyond The Leon condos, investment has poured into this formerly scruffy section of Ponce in recent years, most notably with Ponce City Market’s two-building, phase-two growth spurt, now finished at the corner of Glen Iris Drive. On the property immediately west of the condos, the 111-room Wylie Hotel opened in 2021, reviving a landmark building from the 1920s. And less than two blocks away, on the same side of Ponce, Chick-fil-A bulldozed a gas station and opened a brick-clad, drive-thru restaurant last year at the corner of Boulevard.

Prior to The Leon breaking ground, a “Coming Soon” sign for the project stood at the property for more than two years.
With the exception of a few shipping containers, the site’s last occupant was the controversial Phoenix bar, which the city shut down in 2005. An LLC called 567 Ponce de Leon Partners PL1 scooped up the property in April 2019 for $2.14 million, property records show.

Images: Rare, for-sale condos near Ponce City Market finally arrive
Josh Green
Mon, 12/09/2024 – 18:18
More than five years after it was initially proposed, and a full year after it topped out, a rare example of for-sale, intown condo development is ready for its closeup on one of Atlanta’s most well-known commercial corridors.
Mixed-use project The Leon on Ponce has begun a sales push in Old Fourth Ward beneath a butterfly roof (with offices), with a distinctly modern façade that includes oversized, V-shaped steel struts facing east and west.
The Leon was first marketed in spring 2019 as the replacement for a cleared, .9-acre site that had served as surface parking, situated between Mister Carwash and a new boutique hotel, less than a block west of Ponce City Market.
Delays caused by construction material sourcing have bumped back the opening timeline in more recent years, project officials have said.

Prices at the 74-unit building— developed by Urban Eco Group and designed by S House, both Atlanta-based companies—will range from the $300,000s up to $1.2-million penthouses, though not all of the nine total floorplans are available yet, according to marketing materials.
Aspects of the project that hadn’t been previously disclosed—12 rooftop offices for lease, and more than 2,200 square feet of ground-floor retail where Ark Coffeehaus will operate near the lobby—are detailed on The Leon’s website. It stands five stories above a parking podium.
Current pricing starts at $394,000 for a single bedroom and one bathroom in 629 square feet. That’s a third-floor condo with a 193-square-foot balcony, facing west.
The priciest one-bedroom option (a corner unit with 672 square feet, another 481 exterior square feet, and Midtown views) is asking $544,000.

The most expensive Leon option currently listed—dubbed the Babe Ruth plan as a nod to the historic baseball stadium replaced by a shopping center across Ponce—is asking $829,000. That buys a two-bedroom, two-bathroom corner unit with Midtown views and 1,080 square (plus 63 square feet outside).
Condo perks are listed as 10-foot ceilings, sleek design, five-inch white oak hardwoods, and balconies big enough for morning yoga.
The Leon lacks a pool, but onsite amenities are listed as a secure parking garage (with more than 30 EV chargers), bike and personal storage space on each floor, a dog run and pet-washing station, multiple coworking spaces, and an in-house cocktail lounge

Cortland Adds to Atlanta Apartment Portfolio
Cortland Adds to Atlanta Apartment Portfolio
Cortland bought the former Gardens at East Cobb in Marietta, a 484-unit apartment community previously owned by NALS Apartment Homes. The company paid $95.75 million, that’s just under $200,000 a unit. The property has been renamed Cortland Woodlands.
The Atlanta Business Journal reports the property was last sold in 2005, when NALS Apartment Homes, formerly known as N/A Foxwood 54, purchased the community for $36 million.
Cortland was founded in 2005 with a focus on multifamily development in Atlanta. During the economic downturn in 2008, they shifted their focus from developing communities to acquiring and renovating existing multifamily communities. By 2011, they owned and managed 5,000 apartment homes.
Cortland has acquired a portfolio of properties across seven states, bringing the vertically integrated multifamily real estate investment, development, and management company’s total to nearly 85,000 apartment homes. Headquartered in Atlanta, they have regional offices in Charlotte, Dallas, Denver, Greenwich, Houston, Orlando, and Phoenix.

Amgen Announces $1B Holly Springs Factory Expansion
Amgen Announces $1B Holly Springs Factory Expansion
Amgen announced a $1 billion expansion to establish a second drug substance manufacturing facility in North Carolina. This brings the company’s total planned investment in Holly Springs to more than $1.5 billion, building on its previously announced $550 million commitment.
The $1 billion facility will incorporate cutting-edge technologies and sustainable practices. In tandem with the existing facility, these investments will create 370 new jobs in the region, supporting the area’s biomanufacturing hub.
North Carolina’s Economic Investment Committee approved a Job Development Investment Grant that will reimburse Amgen up to $4.9 million yearly across the grant’s 12-year duration. The project is expected to grow the state’s economy by $3.6 billion throughout that period. When fully operational, more than 720 jobs will be generated across both facilities. Construction began in March 2022, and that plant will be operational in 2026.
The firm owns nearly 109 acres at 4130 Friendship Road, and the two plants are slated for delivery there.
