Real estate developer clears final hurdle for delayed finish at Highland Park Townhomes.
Those moving into Old Fourth Ward in 2016 will have plenty of new townhome options.
JW Homes filed construction plans with the City of Atlanta this week for yet-to-be-named townhomes at 345 Glen Iris Drive Northeast in Old Fourth Ward. It will be the second project from The JW Collection in that neighborhood along with Highland Park Townhomes at 764 Highland Avenue NE.
The Highland Park project welcomed its first residents in 2013 but has yet to complete the entire plan for the project of 56 total units along the Eastside Beltline Trail.
“We made changes to the original plan that held up things for a little while,” Gary Kirk of JW Homes told What Now Atlanta (WNA) in a telephone conversation this week.
“We wanted to add more large floorplans, which meant we had to repermit, but all of that is back on track now.”
Three additional buildings with 13 new homes will be constructed at the Highland Avenue project, with residents already moved into the 43 homes from the first phase.
JW Collection, a separate venture by owner John Wieland, also filed construction plans with the City of Atlanta this week for The Square at Glen Iris townhomes project at 345 Glen Iris Drive Northeast in Old Fourth Ward.
Both projects plan to be completed by late 2016.
