Downtown Roswell’s ‘much-anticipated’ parking deck moves forward Josh Green Fri, 03/28/2025 - 08:11 As ITP visitors may have noticed, the City of Roswell’s historic district in recent years has grown so popular as a regional destination for dining and shopping, its quaint yesteryear infrastructure has struggled to keep up. 

No, the solution isn’t a new transit hub and dedicated rail line through North Fulton County. It’s more parking—and lots of it—in addition to other strategic infrastructural changes near hotspot Canton Street, according to city officials. 

During a specially called meeting Wednesday, Roswell’s mayor and city council unanimously approved a design-build contract with seasoned firm Winter Construction for a $14.5 million new parking deck that will rise within a few minutes’ walk of most downtown attractions. 

In a meeting recap, city officials described the parking deck as “much-anticipated” and “a crucial step.”

Plans call for the 395-space structure to echo the historic district aesthetically, with details beyond the brick façade. Other touches will include large windows for airflow and light, plus “architectural parapets and metalwork, tower-like corner stairwells, and variation in the depth of the exterior walls to add dimension and interest to the structure,” per city officials. 

It will be located on a corner where Green Street meets Ga. Highway 9 (Alpharetta Street), about a block east of Canton Street. The site is also just south of the multi-building Southern Post development that replaced a dated shopping center and was finished last year. 

Winter Construction also recently completed a new parking garage for the City of Woodstock, in addition to one in Snellville. 

“This parking deck is more than just infrastructure,” said Mayor Kurt Wilson in an announcement, “it’s an investment in our city’s future, supporting economic growth and enhancing quality of life for years to come.”

Two years ago, Roswell voters overwhelmingly OK’d nearly $180 million in bond funds that included $20 million for a new deck to help alleviate parking headaches near Canton Street. Roswell leaders picked the site in question in March last year after evaluating eight potential locations. 

The deck isn’t the only change that could be coming in the immediate area. 

A tactic to increase safety and connectivity—dubbed the Green Street Activation Plan—would convert the street to a one-way, southbound road, with a new brick-paved, multi-use trail and improved lighting installed. 

Meanwhile, the plan calls for converting nearby Plum Street—a one-way thoroughfare located between Green and Canton streets—into a brick-paved, multi-use trail for direct access to downtown’s shopping and restaurant strip. (What is this, Broadway or something?) 

Roswell officials say the parking structure is just one step the city is taking to cut back on congestion and improve visitor experiences while still supporting local businesses. Parking usage data that’s being collected now and future strategies will be addressed in forthcoming public meetings this spring, per officials. 

Winter Construction’s schedule calls for finishing the parking deck in summer 2026. The firm was the low-bidder and top applicant among nine companies competing for the design-build job, per the city. 

Which begs the question, Atlanta: Will this increase your chances of visiting one of the metro’s liveliest and most unique city centers, or no?

Photo tour: Next facet of Atlantic Station has arrived Josh Green Thu, 03/27/2025 - 16:49 Could it be a case where reality has outperformed the project renderings? 

One of the final voids in Atlantic Station’s 138-acre footprint is officially a thing of the past, as construction has wrapped and leasing launched at AMLI Atlantic Station, a mixed-use venture with unique exterior designs in a location that could hardly be more high-profile. 

The 12-story, partially terraced building overlooking Midtown’s section of the Connector, where Interstates 75 and 85 merge, began move-ins last month. Designed by Smith Dalia Architects, the 360-unit project fills the gap in Atlantic Station’s street grid where the Atlanta Open tennis tournament had long been played.

Up to two months of free rent (standard these days) is being offered as an incentive. Otherwise, rents start at $1,832 monthly for studio units with 585 square feet.

Now finished, the building's unique, terraced stance over the downtown Connector.

The largest two-bedroom, two-bathroom option (1,444 square feet) currently available starts at $4,643 per month. 

Building amenities are listed as a skyline deck with “panoramic Midtown views,” a coffee bar, a large fitness center, pet spa, coworking space (with “zoom rooms”), and a clubroom with a gaming area and kitchen. Transit enthusiasts will be happy to know shuttle service is being offered between the building and MARTA’s Arts Center station.

Perks of the apartments include 10-foot ceilings throughout, plus quartz countertops and backsplashes. 

AMLI Atlantic Station also includes roughly 25,000 square feet of shops and restaurants at street level. That’s on the side opposite the Connector, facing Market Street.

The project’s “dramatic stepped form creates terraces with a one-of-kind vista of Atlanta’s sweep from downtown to Midtown,” while expanding Atlantic Station’s mixed-use footprint, according to Smith Dalia designers.

AMLI bought the 2.3-acre site next to Atlantic Station’s Dillard’s for $10.5 million in 2016.

The developer currently operates and owns apartment communities to the east and west of Atlantic Station, with AMLI Arts Center in the heart of Midtown and AMLI Westside on Howell Mill Road.

The Atlantic Station project was initially proposed in a different incarnation back in 2016. It finally broke ground in fall 2022, promising to add visual intrigue to the live-work-play island that’s visible to hundreds of thousands of car commuters per day. 

In the gallery above, have a look at the AMLI project—from virtually every angle—as it stands today.

Another golf course going residential—with homes in $300Ks Josh Green Thu, 03/27/2025 - 14:40 North of Atlanta, a residential project is coming together that’s a unique take on infill development and (relatively) affordable housing.

National homebuilder Fischer Homes has opened sales for its first Dawsonville project, Villas at Gold Creek, with price points for new housing that are practically nonexistent in intown Atlanta and the city’s inner suburbs today. It’s the latest example of metro golf course land being repurposed into housing.  

Finished and forthcoming homes on what used to be Gold Creek golf course links start in the $310,000s and top out in the $380,000s in rapidly growing Dawson County, project reps tell Urbanize Atlanta. 

Overview of the Dawsonville former golf course in question before construction on the Villas at Gold Creek began. Fischer Homes/Villas at Gold Creek

All residences have two attached units per lot (what city folk might call duplexes), and each home has a separate entrance and two-car garage. It’s marketed as Fischer Home’s Paired Patio Home Collection. 

The two available floorplans—the single-story Wembley and two-story Hudson—have either two or three bedrooms and floorplans between 1,657 and 2,196 square feet. 

Gold Creek, formerly a 27-hole golf course, has been repurposed to 18 holes to make way for home development.

Other golf-course reclamation projects have taken shape in recent years in metro Atlanta suburbs. In Lawrenceville, for example, Gwinnett County’s oldest country club made way for apartments, while a luxury project with sprawling estates is replacing the former Trophy Club of Atlanta in Milton. 

In Dawsonville, the Fischer Homes project is located at 331 Gold Creek Drive, in the foothills of the North Georgia Mountain, about 60 miles north of downtown Atlanta. 

According to new U.S. Census estimates, Dawson County grew by 6.4 percent in the year ending July 1, which was good for No. 1 in the country among counties with at least 20,000 residents. 

Josh Brockman, division manager for Fischer Homes Atlanta Division, called the Gold Creek project the most affordable new home construction in the Dawsonville area. The residences are “delivering outstanding value without sacrificing quality,” Brockman said in an announcement this week. 

An LLC called Gold Creek Development is leading the project’s development. 

North Georgia Mountains loom in the distance beyond Gold Creek. Fischer Homes/Villas at Gold Creek

Villas at Gold Creek—set within the established Gold Creek neighborhood—includes HOA fees that cover all exterior maintenance and lawncare. Other perks are listed as proximity to North Georgia Premium Outlets and outdoor destinations such as Amicalola Falls State Park and the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail at Springer Mountain.

First look: Old Fourth Ward affordable housing launches construction Josh Green Thu, 03/27/2025 - 08:13 A development set to transform nearly a full city block and inject affordable housing options into one of Atlanta’s hottest real estate submarkets is full speed ahead. 

The project, City Lights North Block, broke ground with site work and demolition in recent weeks at 633 Parkway Drive. The site is between North Avenue and Ponce de Leon Avenue, roughly four blocks directly west of Ponce City Market. 

A portion of the Old Fourth Ward project will also have frontage along Boulevard, near its intersection with Ponce de Leon Avenue. 

A row of low-rise housing was demolished several years ago at the site, and a two-story brick structure where Parkway Drive meets North Avenue was also taken down this month.

Directly across the street stands The Views at O4W, a cove of modern-style townhomes built prior to, and during, the COVID-19 pandemic. 

North Block marks the fifth phase of City Lights, which is Massachusetts developer Wingate’s masterplanned redevelopment of Bedford Pines, a cluster of HUD Section 8 multifamily buildings along and near Boulevard. 

Plans call for 187 apartments capped at rates deemed affordable, in a wide variety of sizes. 

North Block is also set to include amenities such as an after-school program, a business center with computers, a community room, fitness center, a central laundry facility on each floor, and a private courtyard. Access to public transportation is also cited by project officials as a perk.

An Invest Atlanta rep tells Urbanize Atlanta the economic development agency contributed a $35-million tax exempt loan to the project that closed in January, paving the way for construction to begin. A revised construction period of 18 months means the building is expected to open sometime later next year. 

The total cost of the project is $78.9 million, according to Invest Atlanta’s tabulations. 

The building is being reserved for tenants earning 60 percent of the area median income or less. According to Invest Atlanta, the project is supported by a Housing Assistance Payment Contract with HUD, and residents will not pay more than 30 percent of their income.

Otherwise, listed rents for the building start at $1,400 monthly for studios with 536 square feet. 

The bulk of apartments (84 total) will be two-bedroom units asking $2,150 for 975 square feet. 

At the high end, a single four-bedroom apartment will be offered in the building at $2,900 monthly for 1,302 square feet.

Once North Block finishes, just one more phase of Wingate’s City Lights public housing makeover will remain. That’s called City Lights South. 

Another component of the masterplan, Boulevard North, is under construction now about a block away.

Amsterdam Walk advances; one cool bridge; North Point revival? Josh Green Wed, 03/26/2025 - 16:37 VIRGINIA-HIGHLAND—Despite pushback from neighbors who’ve mounted yard-sign campaigns and an online petition, Portman’s proposed redevelopment of Beltline-adjacent Amsterdam Walk has cleared final hurdles before the Atlanta City Council weighs in. 

On Monday and Tuesday, two city council committees moved approvals forward for land use and zoning, the last being a 5-0 “no recommendation” vote by Atlanta’s Community Development/Human Services Committee, as Atlanta News First relays.

The full council is expected to vote on Portman’s development—shrunk in height and scope from original designs, but still 1.18 million square feet overall, with as many as 1,100 apartments and other uses—during an April 21 meeting. 

If approved, the long-planned reimagining of Amsterdam Walk would roll out in phases, alongside a new stretch of the Beltline’s Northeast Trail.

ALPHARETTA—Specifics aren’t exactly plentiful, but there’s new hope afoot for Alpharetta’s aging and emptying North Point Mall, a 1990s relic that joins a number of dying metro Atlanta malls awaiting revival. As Appen Media reports, the Alpharetta City Council this week unanimously approved a new $200,000 redevelopment plan for the broader area—the North Point Development Framework—that aims to help guide developers and grease the wheels of the mall’s mixed-use makeover, though no specific proposals are active. 

North Point redevelopment plans put together by Texas-based Trademark Property Company, expected to cost $500 million, were ultimately rejected by city leaders, who feared the developer wasn't committed to building anything beyond rental housing.

According to city officials, a MARTA hub remains a possibility, and the vague mega-project anchored by an NHL hockey arena is apparently still on the table. One Alpharetta development official enthused this week that North Point is the best redevelopment site in North Fulton County—if not all of metro Atlanta.  

…

GEORGIA TECH—How’s this for adaptive-reuse? Jud Ready, a principal research engineer at the Georgia Tech Research Institute, looked to an unlikely source for building a needed bridge at Buckhead’s Beaverbrook Park (down the street from Bobby Jones Golf Course) near his home. 

Backed with a Park Pride grant and other funding sources, Ready helped design and build a pedestrian bridge in the park that uses a decommissioned blade from a wind turbine as a structural element, the school reports. The 7,000-pound blade was trucked across the country from Colorado and installed early this month. Move over, shipping containers repurposed as housing.

Images: ‘The Parker’ debuts, aims to capitalize on I-75 growth Josh Green Wed, 03/26/2025 - 14:16 Anyone who’s traveled Interstate 75 from Cobb County toward Chattanooga recently has probably noticed that things are visibly changing, with numerous large-scale projects popping up in places like Cartersville and White, where an immense, 2,400-acre proposal was also recently unveiled. 

Hoping to join the buzz and capitalize on growth is a new project called The Parker in Cherokee County. 

Situated at 5944 Ga. Highway 92 in Acworth, just east of I-75, The Parker has debuted 330 rental units, including 20 carriage-home floorplans with private garages. They're all being marketed as luxury and upscale, with accessibility to nearby retail and Atlanta via I-75 and I-575. (The location is about 26 miles northwest of Midtown.)

The development team—comprised of veteran Atlanta builders Novare Group, BCDC, and PointOne Holdings—says the broader goal with The Parker is to meet a growing demand for high-end rental options “in metro Atlanta’s thriving I-75 North corridor,” where new supply has not kept pace with job and population growth, according to a project announcement. 

What's described as The Parker's resort-style pool and sundeck. The Parker; theparkerga.com

The Parker; theparkerga.com

Naturally, the property offers a cheaper alternative to intown rents for new and highly amenitized buildings, generally speaking. 

The least expensive, foot-in-the-door rental option at The Parker is asking $1,499 monthly. That rents one bedroom and one bathroom in 775 square feet on the second of three floors. 

The largest and priciest floorplan listed to date is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom carriage house option in 1,284 square feet. It’s asking $2,660 and up. 

Perks of The Parker include a pickleball court, communal pizza oven, dog park, a posh clubhouse with coffee bar and coworking spaces, a large fitness center, and an outdoor entertainment pavilion with grilling stations. 

Of course, a centralized pool with sundeck described as “resort-style” is also in the mix.

The largest floorplan currently offered is a carriage-house arrangement in 1,284 square feet. The Parker; theparkerga.com

Jim Borders, Novare’s president and CEO, said The Parker is exceptional enough to redefine luxury living in Cherokee County. “Every detail,” said Borders in a statement, “from the interiors to top-tier amenities, has been designed to provide an exceptional resident experience.”

Buckhead's next tony high-rise officially a go Josh Green Wed, 03/26/2025 - 13:23 More details are coming to light for another Buckhead high-rise in a prestigious location, a development that’s now secured its site and has an official name. 

Florida-based developer Kolter Urban closed Tuesday on a 4.7-acre site at 102 West Paces Ferry Road for $38 million, according to Hailey Realty Company, the deal’s transactional broker. 

The project will mark Kolter Urban’s third new building in Buckhead offering for-sale condos—still a rarity in post-recession, apartment-crazed Atlanta. The West Paces Ferry Road venture has now officially been named “Elyse Buckhead.”

Hailey Realty reps also shared specifics on exactly what Elyse Buckhead will entail. Expect 2.7 acres of the site to house a luxury condo building standing 20 stories, with 196 units. 

Those condos will range from 1,200 to more than 4,000 square feet, with between one and three bedrooms. 

Google Maps

No word on price ranges or a groundbreaking, but officials say more details on the project and its sales launch will be coming soon. 

The Elyse Buckhead location will be walkable to some of the subdistrict's most attractive shopping and restaurants. The property—situated next door to the St. Regis Atlanta hotel and condos, among the ritziest of both uses across Atlanta—was previously targeted for a massive, multi-tower development with a hotel and more than 300 residential units that never took off.

The site has long housed a small shopping center called Buckhead Plaza.

For Kolter Urban, the project will mark its third high-rise in Atlanta to move forward since the COVID-19 pandemic, joining the new 18-story, nearly sold-out Dillon Buckhead and the 22-story Graydon project before it. 

No retail is planned for Elyse Buckhead. None was included in the main buildings of Kolter Urban's earlier Atlanta projects, either. 

Renderings compiled by Atlanta-based RJTR architecture firm indicate the building will have a stair-stepped design with balconies jutting off each facade and a tall, glassy base level at the street.

Come along for a tour of the Beltline's newest section, now open Josh Green Tue, 03/25/2025 - 17:35 Two years after breaking ground, the final missing piece to create the longest contiguous stretch of Atlanta Beltline trail to date is entering, well, the home stretch. 

The 1.3-mile piece in question—the Westside Trail’s Segment 4—runs north to south, directly west of Midtown and downtown, with views to landmarks such as Mercedes-Benz Stadium over the roofs and treetops. 

The southernmost piece, running from Lena Street to Mayson Turner Road, recently opened for public use. According to Beltline officials, it accounts for about 40 percent of the segment’s total length.

Landscaping along the trail continues, but all six bridges on Segment 4 have been poured, and retaining walls are in place. Work on a plaza under Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway is ongoing, and a ramp between the two is expected to be poured soon, according to the Beltline’s most recent construction update.

Once finished, Segment 4 will connect Washington Park up to Bankhead and Historic Westin Heights. It will also create the longest uninterrupted Beltline section to date—6.5 miles—in conjunction with the rest of the Westside Trail, the connector trail that shoots out of downtown, and the Southside Trail’s first finished segment.

Specifically, from the south, the segment corridor starts at Washington Park and wends next to MARTA tracks and Maddox Park before connecting with trail segments finished in 2021 and 2022. 

Astra Group—a Woodstock-based general contracting firm with experience building other sections of the loop and Rodney Cook Sr. Park in Vine City—is constructing the project now.

Images: Unique East Atlanta project seeks new path forward Josh Green Tue, 03/25/2025 - 14:49 It’s becoming a recurring theme: A city-altering project is announced, years of meetings (both public and not) are held, designs are tweaked, community hopes stoked, and then it all crashes into a brick wall of financing difficulty. 

Nonetheless, despite high building costs and an uncertain economy, a unique proposal in East Atlanta that would meld a variety of buildings with truly special woodlands isn’t D.O.A. 

The Skyhaven Quarry project—as it was previously named and is still being called—would encompass a former quarry site and commercial parcels along Moreland Avenue that include a shuttered Family Dollar and a cell tower near Skyhaven Road.

The site is situated about a mile due south of East Atlanta Village, a few blocks east of an Atlanta Beltline section scheduled to open this fall.  

The 9.79-acre property and its redevelopment plans recently came to market via Equitable Realty, tempting a new development team to “seize this rare, high-visibility… opportunity” that counts 700 feet of frontage along Moreland Avenue and Skyhaven Road in “one of Atlanta’s fastest-growing corridors.”

The new asking price is $13.9 million for the property. That breaks down to more than $1.4 million per acre, but not all of the site is developable under current agreements.

According to listings, the property has potential to house more than 110 apartments, 47 townhomes (for sale or rent), plus 9,000 square feet of commercial space and 8,000 square feet of retail.  

Perks of the deal include the approved schematic designs that will quicken the development process, in an area where nearby mixed-use developments are seeing more than 95 percent occupancy in residential sections, per listings. 

The property’s new owner, Embry Development Company, didn’t respond to an inquiry this week. The same firm scooped up a Reynoldstown site near the Atlanta Beltline last year where Toll Brothers had completed demolition and installed infrastructure but never went vertical. 

When we last checked in on the East Atlanta proposal, urban infill developer Clark Property R+D was assembling properties, collecting community input, finalizing designs, and seeking development partners for a total of almost 12 vacant acres along Moreland Avenue. The developer had teamed with Xmetrical design architects, Perez Planning + Design landscape architects, and others with a goal of weaving retail and a variety of housing—including affordable options—with trails, nature conservation, and public space.

Clark Property R+D’s principal Jesse Clark tells Urbanize Atlanta this week his firm collectively held more than a dozen community meetings and secured unanimous rezoning approval in both the City of Atlanta and DeKalb County. The approved plan was uniquely conservation-oriented, in that it called for nearly 5 acres of greenspace to be donated to DeKalb County for a future public park.

“Around that same time, the Federal Reserve began aggressively raising interest rates, which led to a broader slowdown in intown development activity,” Clark wrote via email this week. “We attempted to negotiate a contract extension with the [previous] seller to allow time for market conditions to improve, but we were unable to come to terms, and the property fell out of contract.”

Clark’s firm is no longer involved with the project, but he says the site’s masterplan remains legally binding, and that any changes would require a formal rezoning process and community approval.

“We’re proud of the collaborative work we did with local residents to protect significant greenspace and create a community-driven plan,” Clark said. “We trust that the community will remain engaged and vigilant to ensure that the original vision is upheld.”

With its 40-foot cliffs, the abandoned and overgrown quarry would be at the center of the project, with new trails and Ripplewater Creek wending through. Including that would create a “significant park and trail network” in what Clark considers a “park desert,” where residents have limited access to greenspace, he’s previously said. 

Per earlier plans, Skyhaven Quarry also has potential to be combined with a 14-acre passive greenspace owned by the DeKalb County School District, located immediately east of the quarry, where Skyhaven Elementary School was demolished in 2016. But that section is not included with the current sale. 

Clark Property R+D is the same company spearheading The Lodge project where East Atlanta Village meets Ormewood Park, which is incorporating a former Masonic lodge into its masterplanned mix beside a realigned Moreland Avenue intersection. 

Other signs of developer bullishness on Moreland Avenue in the area, located farther south, have come to fruition. 

The first phase of the mixed-use Halidom project opened with offices just south of Ormewood Park two years ago, with IST Management Services’ new international headquarters signed as a tenant. The project’s Miami-inspired food hall has also opened. 

Just south of there, active intown developers Empire Communities and Trammell Crow Residential are redeveloping a sprawling, 32-acre shopping center on Moreland Avenue. Plans call for eventually building nearly 700 apartments and townhomes, a network of greenspaces, and retail for a project now titled Allora Eastland.

Wildly popular taqueria to claim South Downtown building Josh Green Tue, 03/25/2025 - 10:09 South Downtown’s cachet as a restaurant destination just ratcheted up. 

El Tesoro—an authentic Mexican cuisine hotspot where lines regularly wrap around the block at its original Edgewood location—has announced plans to open its third and largest taqueria near Hotel Row, about two blocks south of Underground Atlanta.  

According to South Downtown redevelopment leaders, El Tesoro plans to redesign a vacant, 3,600-square-foot, one-story building at 171 Mitchell St., situated a block east of Hotel Row. 

Plans call for a large outdoor patio with design that “blends El Tesoro’s signature rustic charm with elements inspired by the rich cultural history of the neighborhood,” according to an announcement today.

The restaurant will operate directly across the street from the 170 Mitchell St. building—Newport US’s former headquarters, and another property in Atlanta Ventures’ portfolio—that now functions as Atlanta Tech Village’s Terminus Hub. 

The location will mark El Tesoro’s third, joining the O.G. locale in Edgewood and an outpost at West End’s Lee + White district. El Tesoro expects to open downtown sometime next year, according to South Downtown leadership. 

The Guerrero, Mexico-inspired concept will join other businesses in South Downtown’s revival that include Tyde Tate Kitchen and Spiller Park Coffee. Crates ATL and Delilah’s Everyday Soul restaurant are also set to open soon.

“We are beyond excited to plan our next location in South Downtown and be a part of revitalizing this important, historic neighborhood,” said Alan Raines, El Tesoro founder, in a prepared statement. “We can’t wait to create a space in South Downtown that will do just that—for all those working, living, celebrating, cheering, visiting, studying… you name it.”

April Stammel, South Downtown’s director of leasing, called the signing “a huge win for all of downtown.”

“We can’t wait to see how [Raines] transforms his building,” she added, “into a slice of Guerrero in the heart of South Downtown.”

Fresh renderings: New facet of downtown Savannah breaks ground Josh Green Tue, 03/25/2025 - 08:27 The years-long trend of substantial investment and growth along Savannah’s waterfront is officially continuing. 

During a Thursday ceremony that included Savannah Mayor Van Johnson, national residential developer Trilogy Investment Company and Atlanta-based real estate investment firm Kingdom Estates broke ground on The Isling at Savannah Harbor, a project that’s promising urban walkability in an island setting across the water from downtown. 

Fresh renderings depicting building facades and the finished community were also released. The core homes near a central greenspace look especially dense, relative to most made-from-scratch communities. 

Jason Joseph, Trilogy’s CEO and managing partner, said the groundbreaking marks “the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Savannah Harbor” in an announcement.

The 36-acre, multi-phase project (formerly known as The Reserve at Savannah Harbor) is billed as “a community that combines timeless architectural beauty with… modern conveniences and luxury” in a uniquely coastal Georgia locale. The developers partnered to acquire The Isling’s parcel on Hutchinson Island in Savannah’s River District for $17 million last year. Today, the site counts a few large homes and some infrastructure next to golf course links but little else. 

The Isling’s property is set across the Savannah River from the city’s famed River Street, near the Talmadge Memorial Bridge. It’s a five-minute drive—or short ferry ride—from Savannah’s downtown Historic District, according to project leaders. 

The initial phase will see 90 homes total—a mix of townhomes, duplexes, and single-family dwellings. Trilogy’s schedule calls for a quickly delivering that in the third quarter of this year. 

Pricing for The Isling has yet to be specified.

When completed, The Isling will see 198 homes in what officials call a mix of Coastal and Lowcountry architectural styles and floorplans meant to complement the island’s scenery. Those will include single-family dwellings with city views, deep-water river homes, rowhomes, duets (that’s fancy speak for “duplex”), as well as golf course and terrace properties. 

Trilogy reps recently told Urbanize Atlanta the timeline calls for completing the full project in roughly four years.

Custom home design and build company Southern Coastal Homes is onboard for construction, in partnership with architecture firm A Classical Studio. (If you’re wondering, The Isling’s name is derived from the Irish word meaning “dream.”)

Planned amenities at The Isling include bocce and pickleball courts, a resort-style pool, bountiful gardens, and a large clubhouse for events and gatherings described as beautiful.

The project aims to capitalize on downtown Savannah’s cachet and growth around the city that’s recently been described as “explosive.” It isn’t the first big deal to move forward recently on the island. 

As it stands, Hutchinson Island’s primary attraction is the Savannah Convention Center and Westin Hotel, with 18-hole the Club at Savannah Harbor golf course next door. Nearby, the 35-acre, mixed-use Savannah Harbor project is taking shape with residences, retail, and greenspace. 

Elsewhere on Hutchinson Island, the IGY Savannah Harbor Marina—featuring 100 berths for all types of vessels, including more than 1,000 linear feet for deep-draft superyachts—is set to open near the convention center this spring. 

Across the river from those developments is yet another large waterfront project nearing completion, the Upper East River district, where some new penthouses are priced north of $8 million (yes, $8 million). That project is easily walkable to River Street.

A year later, Decatur's affordable downtown cottages sell out Josh Green Mon, 03/24/2025 - 17:12 A year after sales began, a “pioneering” pocket of housing near downtown Decatur that represents a “milestone in affordable homeownership” has officially sold out, according to project leaders. 

The colorful pint-sized community, Oak Cottage Court, replaced a wooded, half-acre site at 230 Commerce Drive with six standalone homes reserved for families and individuals considered middle-income earners. 

All six new homeowners are women—including a City of Decatur teacher who recently bought the last available unit, project heads noted. 

The cottages range from pint-sized (528 square feet) to perfectly adequate for a smaller family (1,582 square feet), with either one, two, or three bedrooms.

Prices ranged from $210,000 (a one-bedroom, one-bathroom house) to $325,000 (three bedrooms, two bathrooms), per site plans. 

According to Redfin, Decatur's median home sales price is $585,000. 

The project, developed and built by Fortas Homes, marked the first collaboration of its kind between the City of Decatur Development Authority, nonprofit housing developer Atlanta Neighborhood Development Partnership, and nonprofit Decatur Land Trust. It had been in planning and construction phases for more than seven years prior to finishing construction last spring. 

“Six cottages, six inspiring female homeowners, one city with a vision, and an incredible team that made it a reality,” recapped listing agent Naruna Rangel, of Naruna Homes and Keller Williams Metro Atlanta, in a sell-out announcement.

Project leaders provided commentary from new Oak Cottage Court owners, including: Courtney Hartnett, a teacher with 20 years' experience at Oakhurst Elementary and the first buyer, who said, “It’s been lovely having new neighbors move in. I was priced out of Decatur for a long time.” Added Rachel Dubruze, a nurse at nearby Talley Street Elementary and a first-time homeowner who moved in with her son: “It’s less than a 10-minute walk or a two-minute drive to my job and [my child’s] school. The school system is great. It seemed out of reach before this.”

From the outset, the project was intended to provide attainable, for-sale housing to Decatur’s city, school, and housing authority employees. The cottages were later made available to any income-qualified buyer, especially people renting or working in Decatur.

Beyond the home prices, project leaders pointed to the location’s 86 Walk Score—it’s within a 10-minute walk to MARTA rail and 10 different bus lines, they say—and close proximity to shops and restaurants, K-12 schools, and parks as attributes. Seven parking spaces, including one handicap space, were installed next to the community’s central green, according to plans.

DLT’s model goes that homes are sold to new owners, but the land beneath them will be kept in a trust. Should new owners sell in the future, the DLT’s ground-lease program is meant to ensure the properties retain their affordability permanently, officials have previously said.

Up to three sources of down payment assistance were also available for qualified applicants.

The project was designed by Mississippi-based architect Bruce B. Tolar, considered one of the country’s leading experts for missing-middle housing design and development. Tolar's company is known for developing cottage-style housing nodes as part of post-Hurricane Katrina rebuilding.

The housing type has been allowed in Decatur since an ordinance passed in 2014, and Oak Cottage Court is considered a pilot project, in hopes it will succeed in generating other examples of relatively affordable, neighborhood-friendly housing in the city, according to DLT.
