The $37.8 million project went before Invest Atlanta’s Urban Residential Finance Authority as a discussion-only item this week, according to its agenda. It would take 18 months to construct and would have an expected opening in 2022 at 872 Memorial Drive, SE, a fact sheet for the project shows.

Named Madison at Reynoldstown, the project would contain 71 one-bedrooms, 36 two-bedrooms, and nine three-bedrooms offered to households at 30 percent, 60 percent, or 80 percent or below of area median income. The development’s 60-percent AMI units, for example, would have expected rents of $861 for one-bedrooms, $1,026 for twos, and $1,177 for threes, plans show.

The project has been in planning since 2019, when Rea Ventures initially sought a $17 million tax-exempt loan from Invest Atlanta. The Atlanta Business Chronicle reported earlier this year that rising labor and construction materials costs have led it to seek an additional $1 million in financing.

The Reynoldstown project would rise alongside the Atlanta Beltline Eastside Trail and adjacent to an existing condominium community. Designed by architecture firm Praxis3, it would also offer amenities including a business center, community rooms, and a fitness center.

Other major budgeted funding sources include state and federal tax credit equity and a national housing trust fund grant, the project fact sheet shows.
