Tepeyac Community Health Center will continue providing healthcare to Elyria-Swansea residents but in a bigger space

48th and Race, Viña Apartments

Tepeyac has had some humble beginnings but with the new center set to open in January at the base of Viña Apartments, they’ll have quadruple the space to serve residents.

About six years ago, the Urban Land Conservancy purchased a six-acre industrial lot, that spreads from 48th and Race to 48th and Gaylord, in the Elyria-Swansea neighborhood.

The real estate nonprofit asked residents what they’d like to see on the site and the answers were unsurprising:

Affordable housing — need in an area poised for gentrification;
A grocery store because the area has been a food desert for decades;
And more access to healthcare.

A quick Google search of healthcare providers in the 80216 zip code doesn’t have many results, but at the top of the list is one place that’s been providing the neighborhood with healthcare needs since 1995: Tepeyac Community Health Center.

So, when the ULC was looking for something to anchor their new development, while also keeping in mind residents’ request, Tepeyac made the cut in 2018.

Latest stack of BeltLine apartments, retail spaces tops out

Studioplex

Fifteen percent of rentals at 678 Edgewood project will be reserved as affordable housing, per developer Columbia Ventures

OCTOBER 18, 2022, 12:54PM

Formerly woodsy or post-industrial barren, the stretch of the BeltLine’s Eastside Trail between Edgewood Avenue and Irwin Street could now be described as a canyon of housing, offices, and retail options, with more to come.

Adding most noticeably to a sense of new investment in all directions is the 678 Edgewood project, which has topped out alongside its namesake bridge with frontage along the popular trail.

Dillon Baynes, Columbia Ventures’ managing partner, tells Urbanize Atlanta the seven-story apartment project completed vertical construction about a month ago and is on track to open in the second quarter of next year. It broke ground in fall 2021 and, upon last check in July, was just starting to come out of the ground.

The $37-million Studioplex project is claiming one of the last remaining open parcels for large-scale development on the Eastside Trail. Its ground-floor plans call for continuing a row of retail facing the BeltLine that includes Shake Shack, Pour Taproom, Guac y Margys, and Nina and Rafi pizza, among other establishments.

Before/after: MARTA parking lots transformed into 350 homes, more

Now finished, Edgewood-Candler Park station overhaul includes public park, retail, offices, and performance academy for kids

Prior to 2016, approaching MARTA’s Edgewood-Candler Park station from the south meant encountering a sea of weedy asphalt parking lots, where only about one in three parking spaces was being used by transit customers each day.

Today, it’s a drastically different urban scenario—and quite possibly a preview of things to come throughout sections of Atlanta reached by the heavy rail system.

MARTA on Friday declared the agency’s first transit-oriented development since Lindbergh Center complete, roughly six years after it had broken ground in Edgewood.
