A mixed-use development in Loring Heights is taking steps forward.
A building permit application was recently filed for a multifamily building at the intersection of 17th Street and Northside Drive that will be part of UrbA ATL. The two-building development is expected to have 321 luxury apartments (studio, one- and two-bedroom units) and about 27,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space.
According to developer Southeastern, amenities will include a rooftop pool and clubroom with a view of the Atlanta skyline, a large co-working space, multiple outdoor zen and activity gardens, a library, bike rooms and repair stations, electric vehicle charging stations, a large dog park, a dog spa, an e-sports gaming room and lounge, and a fitness center.
The property is located near Atlantic Station, across from IKEA.
According to CBG Building Company, the mixed-use community will also include two parking garages with 663 spaces.
Officials with the project couldn’t immediately be reached for more information, but a projected completion date of March 2025 is listed on the CBG website.

Is the ‘missing middle’ really buying $500-$600k apartments?!
‘Missing middle’ doesn’t refer to price (relative or otherwise), just form and density.
That’s got to be a wrong quote. Nobody is paying $500k for 800 SQ ft. apartments in that area of Atlanta.
I believe that NPU K did not approve the rezoning for Z-21-66 and they did not approve of the text amendments for the Comprehensive Development Plan CDP-21-44
If they’re going to include yard space, it would better to have them south facing so the residents could use it as a small garden space. The small north facing yards are going to be shadowed out the building itself.
One thing that no one can dispute is that since there are industrial buildings across the street already, modern zoning requires multi-family to exist as a buffer or transition. No one has mentioned the inevitable “mixed-use” (retail) development that will happen sooner or later somewhere between the apartment building and Industrial. Why fight zoning changes? City officials nationwide have to adopt a minimum of the suggested changes. If we don’t cooperate, then we lose federal funding for other projects too. (this is why The Beltline completion is at a crawling pace).
