Set to deliver in fall 2021, the project continues the momentum of the $750M investment underway in Summerhill
Carter, in partnership with King & Company and Healey Weatherholtz Properties, today announces the start of construction on a 306-unit multifamily community in Atlanta’s Summerhill neighborhood. The first units are set to deliver in late spring 2021. The full development, which includes 8,000 square feet of ground-level retail, is expected to open by fall 2021. The building will overlook the site of Georgia State University’s future baseball park.
The five-story multifamily property will include a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, as well as six live-work units. Of the one- and two-bedroom residences available, 31 will be reserved for those earning 80% of the area median income. To complement the architectural style of the buildings along Georgia Avenue, the exterior will feature a mix of red and charcoal brick. The Class-A apartments will also offer oversized, operable windows, and most will include balconies. Units located on the corner of Glenn Street and Hank Aaron Drive will feature floor-to-ceiling windows.
“This groundbreaking marks another milestone in Summerhill’s growth story, and we’re excited to bring new homes to this dynamic and diverse neighborhood,” said Jerome Hagley, executive vice president at Carter. “We remain committed to investing in Atlanta’s Southside and look forward to delivering a place that reflects the character of the historic architecture and the strong sense of community felt in Summerhill.”
Designed to bring neighbors together, two exterior courtyards will feature a variety of amenities for residents to enjoy, including a pool, multiple seating areas, grilling stations, a fire pit, a dog park and a pet grooming station. Residents will also have access to a two-story clubroom with a fireplace, kitchen and meeting space. Additional amenities include a fitness center with a yoga and spin room, a full range of weight machines and cardio equipment. For added convenience, the apartment building will also feature a package room with a full-service management system and a secured, structured parking deck.
The ground-level retail along Hank Aaron Drive will include a mix of restaurants and service providers, creating value for future residents, employees and Summerhill neighbors.
Within walking distance of the apartment community, residents can enjoy the assortment of restaurants along Georgia Avenue, including Little Tart Bakeshop, Big Softie, Wood’s Chapel BBQ, Junior’s Pizza, Halfway Crooks and the soon-to-open Little Bear, D Boca N Boca, Concept, Hero Doughnuts and Hot Dog Pete’s.
Pre-leasing for apartment residences will begin in early 2021. To stay connected, follow Summerhill on Instagram at @Summerhill_ATL.
About Summerhill
Carter, in partnership with King & Company and Healey Weatherholtz Properties, is redeveloping Summerhill, an 80-acre mixed-use project in downtown Atlanta with Georgia State University as the anchor. The private development team is developing 35 acres into a mixed-use neighborhood including corporate office uses, traditional multifamily apartments, specialty and neighborhood retail and private student apartments. The developers’ vision is to activate the streets of Summerhill into a vibrant, walkable, commercial corridor, while maintaining the neighborhood’s historical fabric. The combination of the new and existing commercial buildings will create an accessible, human-scale place where people want to eat, shop, and hang out with friends or coworkers.
