Atlanta Community Bridges the Gap Between Two Urban Spaces

Edgewood/Candler Park, Spoke

Spoke ATL, a transit-oriented development next to the Edgewood/Candler Park MARTA railway station in Atlanta’s Edgewood community, replaces an underperforming station parking lot with a bridge between two separated halves of the area’s urban fabric.

The community forms the first part of a three-phase development, originally conceived by developer Columbia Ventures in a deal with MARTA. To ensure that the project was ultimately in the community’s best interest, the development and design team conducted a series of meetings with nearly a dozen community groups, as well as professionals and stakeholders.

Nonprofit, developer plan income-restricted housing and clinic space in Elyria-Swansea

48th and Race, Viña Apartments

Redevelopment is expected to begin next year on a 6-acre industrial site in Elyria-Swansea owned by the nonprofit Urban Land Conservancy.

Denver-based ULC and Atlanta-based Columbia Ventures submitted a site-development plan to the city last week, proposing 150 income-restricted residential units, and clinic and retail space at 4800 N. Vine St.

It’s the first phase of development planned for the 4800 Race St. and 4800 Vine St. parcels, which ULC paid $5.5 million for in April 2015, according to public records. The site is currently home to Atlas Construction Supply, which will move before construction begins.

Decatur East

Food critic Meridith Ford will be delivering scoops and dishing it out in Decatur this fall.

Ford will open Cremalosa at the Cortland Decatur East mixed-use development. The address is 2657 E. College Avenue in Decatur, Georgia. But the plan is to sell the shop’s products in stores throughout Georgia.

The menu will blend American flavors inspired by Southern Sweets that utilizes an “age-old” Italian technique.

“The menu will highlight flavors from local ingredients spun according to time-honored Italian techniques, including a seasonally driven selection of made-from-scratch gelato and other sweet treats,” a press release from the company says.
