The Atlanta Beltline, Pennrose and Radiant Development Partners broke ground Aug. 4 on Overlook at Garson, a $65.7 million, 130-unit development in the Lindbergh neighborhood near the Lindbergh MARTA Station, with Mayor Andre Dickens attending. All 130 units, a mix of efficiencies through three-bedrooms, are reserved for households at 50%, 60% or 80% of area median income under Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, and the project adds 10,000 square feet of community-serving commercial space.
The Beltline bought the site from Wells Fargo specifically to lock in long-term affordability along a stretch of the Northeast Trail that has otherwise drawn market-rate development. Construction is expected to finish in 2028.
Why it matters
It's a rare instance of the Beltline itself buying land specifically to keep it affordable, on a trail segment surrounded by market-rate growth.
