Sleek Grant Park project plots next phase near forthcoming Beltline Josh Green Fri, 10/04/2024 - 16:04 Developers say a combination of decidedly modern aesthetics and Atlanta Beltline proximity is proving appealing in Grant Park, despite some townhome prices in the ballpark of a million bucks. Half of [Twelve on Berne](https://twelveonberne.com/), a 12-unit townhome project by C4 Developers, has finished construction a block from one of the Beltline Southside Trail’s under-construction segments, just south of Glenwood Park on Berne Street. It replaces a row of three one-story homes. Sharing the same block is a [**194-apartment project**](https://atlanta.urbanize.city/post/grant-park-project-beltline-southside-trail-update-images) called Argos that Avila Development recently built along the Beltline corridor. The Warren Boys & Girls Club is directly across the street, to the west. Stephen Eichelberger, C4 Developers managing partner, tells Urbanize Atlanta half of the first six dwellings at the 816 Berne St. venture’s initial phase are now under contract.

The interior options—each roughly 2,380 square feet—cost in the mid to upper $800,000s, according to Eichelberger. All stand four stories, spanning from one and two-car garages at base levels to rooftop decks with attached flex spaces. Each has three or four bedrooms and three and 1/2 bathrooms.  Eichelberger says his team will start taking reservations for the six-unit second phase next week, with interior units in that flank starting in the mid-$900,000s. “Looking forward, we hope to be well underway with construction and selling phase two just as this segment of the Beltline is coming alive with activity,” Eichelberger tells Urbanize Atlanta. “It’s really a unique time for both Grant Park and Ormewood Park.  The excitement is palpable.”  [](https://atlanta.urbanize.city/sites/default/files/styles/1140w/public/2024-10/Twelve%20on%20Berne%20site%20plan.png?itok=mm_yDueo "C4 Developers/Twelve on Berne ") Full site plan for the two-phase, 12-home project.

Georgia Tech stadium overhaul with huge screen, speakeasy in works Josh Green Fri, 10/04/2024 - 13:57 More than a century after it opened, the oldest on-campus stadium in major college football is being prepped for large-scale upgrades designed to rev up the gameday experience. Georgia Tech athletics has officially kicked off a $500-million fundraising campaign called [Full Steam Ahead](https://atfund.org/full-steam-ahead) that could produce upgraded facilities for Ramblin’ Wreck football fans, along with basketball and volleyball players. Notably, 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.

Georgia Tech athletics; rendering, HNTB Athletics program leaders report almost $300 million has already been raised, with a goal of boosting Tech sports to compete for “championships at the highest level in the next era of intercollegiate athletics.” The sports facility plans are part of a $2 billion campus-wide [initiative](https://atlanta.urbanize.city/post/georgia-tech-campus-core-car-free-new-park-bobby-dodd) called Transforming Tomorrow: The Campaign for Georgia Tech and would join a [growth spurt](https://atlanta.urbanize.city/post/georgia-tech-plans-first-new-student-housing-ages) in other sections of campus. Full Steam Ahead plans call for O’Keefe Gym, home of Georgia Tech volleyball, to be modernized with a widened concourse and upgraded fan amenities.

Along with the huge videoboard and an upgraded sound system, the Full Steam Ahead campaign calls for installing chairback seating throughout the stadium (replacing today’s rock-hard bleachers) and new club and suite-level seating. Those will include seven Founders suites that accommodate guests in private settings with some outdoor seating. A 140-seat hub called the Foundation Club, the first on the western side of the stadium, would be placed at the 50-yard line with “a statement bar, premium food and beverage, and high-end finishes,” per Georgia Tech athletics. Another club, the East Side Club, will include a tucked-away VIP facet called the East Side Speakeasy for, yes, an even more exclusive experience with all-inclusive food and drink.   [](https://atlanta.urbanize.city/sites/default/files/styles/1140w/public/2024-10/7%20Georgia%20Tech%20Bobby%20Dodd%20Stadium.png?itok=2QyMro_h "Georgia Tech athletics; rendering, HNTB") Peek inside the planned East Side Speakeasy.

Years in making, Memorial Drive venture sniffs sellout (for now) Josh Green Fri, 10/04/2024 - 08:02 For proof that Memorial Drive’s gangbusters [residential growth](https://atlanta.urbanize.city/post/beforeafter-memorial-drives-unreal-transformation-recent-years) isn’t abating, head to the 2000 block of the vital east-west corridor, between DeKalb Memorial Park and East Lake Golf Club. That’s where The Moderns, a townhome project that’s been in the pipeline for the better part of a decade, is gearing up for the next phase of construction alongside dozens of other under-construction townhome products. The 62-unit project has been slowly taking shape since 2016, expanding away from Memorial Drive where DeKalb County neighborhood Parkview meets Kirkwood. According to Jeremy Smith, an advisor with Engel & Völkers Atlanta, three of the final six unsold townhomes in the latest new phase have gone under contract since his company took over sales in August. [](https://atlanta.urbanize.city/sites/default/files/styles/1140w/public/2024-10/The%20Moderns%20October%202024%203.png?itok=oK8ofLAt "Lee and James Atlanta Photography; Matthew Larrabee; courtesy of Engel & Völkers Atlanta ") The most recent phase of The Moderns in the 2000 block of Memorial Drive, with unrelated townhome construction from Empire Communities next door, at left.

In each case, that buys three bedrooms and three and ½ bathrooms in 2,359 square feet. (HOA fees are listed at $275 monthly; with new units, $15,000 seller incentives are being offered.) Each of the TSW Architects-designed townhomes stands four stories. Smith says 41 of the 62 townhomes at The Moderns have been completed to date, with the next phase of construction scheduled to begin this fall. “The community has been well-received by buyers,” Smith wrote via email, “especially for its private roof decks and yards.” Immediately west of The Moderns, active intown developer Empire Communities is building an [80-townhome project](https://atlanta.urbanize.city/post/kirkwood-townhomes-memorial-drive-breaking-ground-development-church) spread across three and ½ acres of former church property. Directly across Memorial Drive, Empire also built the rainbow-hued [**Paintbox**](https://urbanize.city/atlanta/post/atlanta-kirkwood-townhomes-home-for-sale-empire) community on another former church site several years ago. [](https://atlanta.urbanize.city/sites/default/files/styles/1140w/public/2024-10/The%20Moderns%20October%202024%202.png?itok=x3sazur9 "Lee and James Atlanta Photography; Matthew Larrabee; courtesy of Engel & Völkers Atlanta ") Lee and James Atlanta Photography; Matthew Larrabee; courtesy of Engel & Völkers Atlanta [](https://atlanta.urbanize.city/sites/default/files/styles/1140w/public/2024-10/The%20Moderns%20October%202024%205.png?itok=qV2TTG0d "Lee and James Atlanta Photography; Matthew Larrabee; courtesy of Engel & Völkers Atlanta ") Lee and James Atlanta Photography; Matthew Larrabee; courtesy of Engel & Völkers Atlanta Project officials have said The Moderns's next phase will include smaller workforce housing options, featuring two bedrooms and two and ½ bathrooms in about 1,500 square feet, with rooftop hangouts up top. According to Smith, pricing and the timeline for finishing the next phase’s construction has yet to be determined. When the infill project first started coming to market eight years ago, the larger Moderns units were priced in the mid-$400,000s, while the skinnier, smaller, foot-in-the-door options were going for the mid-$200,000s. The site is home to a tributary that snakes through the property, which in the 1800s played host to several paper mills. More recently, it’d been a landfill. Sugar Creek was brought back to the surface and worked into the community as an amenity, sales associates have previously said.   [](https://atlanta.urbanize.city/sites/default/files/styles/1140w/public/2024-10/The%20Moderns%20October%202024%204.png?itok=BVc_xLmu "Lee and James Atlanta Photography; Matthew Larrabee; courtesy of Engel & Völkers Atlanta ") Lee and James Atlanta Photography; Matthew Larrabee; courtesy of Engel & Völkers Atlanta [](https://atlanta.urbanize.city/sites/default/files/styles/1140w/public/2022-07/The%20Moderns%20Memorial%20Drive%20Cablik.png?itok=PjoSD3IH "Cablik Enterprises; designs, TSW ") Full The Moderns site plan in the eastside's Parkview neighborhood.
