MARTA’s mixed-use redo in Edgewood scores restaurant, wine bar

Meanwhile, the final transit-oriented apartment component predicts winter delivery

Five years after MARTA’s first transit-oriented development broke ground in Atlanta, the totality of how the project will look and function is coming into focus.

Columbia Ventures officials tell Urbanize Atlanta two food-and-beverage operators have signed leases for retail space in the heart of the multifaceted, 6.3-acre TOD along the southern rim of the Edgewood/Candler Park MARTA station.

The first concept is from the team behind the popular Banshee restaurant in East Atlanta Village, which has been dishing New American fare since 2018.

Dillon Baynes, a Columbia Ventures managing partner, describes the forthcoming eatery as a “fun, artisanal sandwich shop with a full alcohol license.”

The second Edgewood endeavor is by Dwight Cunningham of Cork & Cru Social events group and cofounder of the Roswell Wine Festival . Baynes describes that as a retail wine bar and wine store.

Both concepts will set up shop in an office-retail building with a large patio that fronts a greenspace, located in the middle of redeveloped MARTA parking lots now collectively called Edgewood Park. We’ve inquired about timelines for opening the businesses and will update this story with any further details that come.

Meanwhile, the transit hub’s final TOD phase, called Quill Apartments , is finishing construction in hopes of delivering 208 apartments—55 of them qualifying as affordable, according to MARTA—this January. Rents posted so far begin at $1,294 for 508-square-foot studios.

That project also includes a parking deck with 152 spaces reserved for MARTA customers.

As MARTA’s first TOD, Edgewood Park could serve as a template for how underused, transit-connected surface parking can be reimagined across Atlanta. Similar MARTA-adjacent developments continue to evolve at the Avondale MARTA station and Grant Park’s King Memorial station , with others in the pipeline.

Before TOD work began in Edgewood in August 2016, MARTA calculated that just 30 percent of parking spaces were being used daily.

The first component to open in 2018, a partnership between Invest Atlanta and Columbia Ventures called Spoke, brought 200 apartments, with 10 percent reserved as affordable housing. Another section includes the new spaces for Moving In the Spirit, an Atlanta-based creative youth development program.

MARTA has entered into long-term ground leases with Columbia Ventures to build the mixed-use hub, similar to other TOD partnerships. Have a closer look around the full project via this photo essay we compiled in February.

Apartment Complexes for the Whole Family

Apartments get a bad wrap when it comes to giving pets the room they need to run around, get exercise, and play with their family. Mostly because they just aren’t equipped to ensure the wellbeing of pets. Instead of trying to accommodate families who have a furry friend, many complexes will give you the impossible choice between a place to live and your pet.

At Quill, this will never be an issue.

Your pet’s health and happiness is a priority to us here at Quill. We know dogs need their own space to relax and wind down. To chase their tail or play fetch. Who knows? Maybe your pet will find a friend in the neighborhood to play with!

Dogs Need Amenities, Too

We’ve created a green space for you to enjoy with your family, friends, and even your pets. Enjoy physical activity, relaxation, or simply escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, with your dog.

Take Your Dog for a Walk In This Up-And-Coming Neighborhood

Does your pup love playing at the park? Kirkwood Dog Park is an off-leash dog park located in the historic Kirkwood neighborhood. You and your pet can enjoy this outdoor oasis from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.

If you prefer a quieter afternoon playing in the grass, Iverson Park may be just the place for you. Your dog will need to stay on a leash, but you and your pup can enjoy a decent sized field for playing fetch, frisbie, catch, or any of your other favorite outdoor activities together.

Of course, you may be more interested in finding spots to take your dog on long, leisurely walks. For that, we recommend heading over to Candler Park . The walkways that start in the park continue as part of the Peach Path which runs through much of Atlanta and along Freedom Parkway. There are lots of trees and interesting areas to find some space to enjoy the city’s green space.

When you’re done with a day of exercise, Quill is minutes away from some really cool restaurants and attractions. Try the Brewhouse Cafe on Moreland Ave. The outdoor patio is gorgeous (and the brews are bomb!). Or, walk your pup over to the Wrecking Bar Brewpub and enjoy good food, beer, and drinks.

There are a ton of places within walking distance or just a short drive away. Trust us, if you’re looking for a new neighborhood for you and your pet to thrive, consider Quill. You won’t regret it!

Find Your Home

If you’re looking for a pet-friendly community, we’d love for you to consider Quill! Get in touch with our team today and we’ll find you, and your pet’s, new home.

It’s How We Want to Give Back to the Community

Tue, 13 Apr 2021 17:44:00 GMT

There’s a growing problem in our Atlanta neighborhoods that greatly affects people earning a median income. With rising housing and rent costs, households with incomes above 60% of the area median income are often unable to afford to live in the communities in which they serve. So, we’ve decided to do something about it. Quill will offer workforce housing options to people who want to discover a better place to live.

The Data Shows a Growing Problem

In many cities across the country, it’s increasingly difficult for middle-income workers to afford safe, quality housing in their own neighborhoods. Often, these workers and their families get priced out of their homes and have to choose lower quality housing in less desirable neighborhoods. As the Georgia Department of Community Affairs states, “A community’s housing options are key building blocks in the community fabric.” Atlanta has a long way to go to ensure achievable housing options for all of our residents. Until then, there’s something we at Quill want to do.

Introducing: Workforce Housing at Quill!

What is the Workforce Housing Program? Workforce housing programs assist households earning between 60% and 120% of area median income. These programs designed to serve critical community workers and emergency responders like teachers, police officers, retail workers, health care workers, firefighters, and others living in the same communities they serve. Where affordable housing serves households earning less than 60% of the area median income and helps people find safe and affordable homes, workforce housing helps to provide attractive and achievable homes for middle-income residents.

What This Means at Quill

The only way to see change in the world, is to create it. Here at Quill, we aim to do just that. We’re reserving 25% of our units for individuals and families making up to 80% of the area’s median income. These apartment homes are offered at a reduced rental rent, while still offering the same high quality features and finishes as the rest of the homes at Quill do. We take a lot of pride in the living spaces we develop and are excited to offer high quality living in Edgewood at reduced rates.

Is Workforce Housing Right For You?
