A developer has filed plans with the city of Atlanta to turn an aging warehouse property in English Avenue along Joseph E. Boone Boulevard into a new eating and drinking establishment named Se7en.
The property owner and applicant listed in a special administrative permit application filed with the city in early April is shown as Matthew Morrison of 777M LLC. Atlanta-based architecture Plexus R+D is also involved in the proposed development, according to SAP filings.
The property to be converted is a one-story, roughly 36,000-square-foot industrial building at 537 Joseph E. Boone Blvd., at the northeastern corner of Joseph E. Boone Boulevard and Maple Street. It is unclear exactly what type of tenant the development team has planned for the renovated property.
Morrison didn’t respond to a request for comment on plans for the project.
Fulton County property records show that the site was purchased by 523 Simpson Road LLC in 2018 for about $2.14 million.
Project plans show the new development would provide 26 automobile parking spaces.
[Correction: A previous version of this article misnamed the neighborhood for which Se7en is planned. Se7en is planned for the English Avenue neighborhood.]

Great news. With this being said, the neighborhood is actually in English Ave, since it is located north of Boone.
You are correct! Thank you, Julian. The story is now corrected.
Are they completely unaware of the 1995 film of the same name about a serial killer?
This is a cool area right next to the new Beltline “connector”.
Also two blocks from the new Rodney Cook Sr. Park in Historic Vine City
This establishment will impact both English Ave and the Vine City community just south of Boone – noise, traffic, parking, etc. The owners will need to work with the community to ensure the impact is minimal.
